For me it’s hard to start and keep going… but I love my mom for helping out, even if I tell her I can handle it… Yes, I’m a grown up, live alone, and my mom does the cleaning every once in a while, unless I have done it (that’s yet to happen).

I used to do cleaning as a job, somehow never did at home…

#What did you say? Huh! I can’t hear you! This thing must be outta battery again!

• grandpa, probably.

Sadly my grandpas/-moms, from both mom’s and dad’s side, have already passed… last one, the one grandma I grew up with and loved, passed late last year, I recall September…? And grandpa, whose last car I inherited as well, passed when I was starting my 2nd year in vocational college, in summer of 2014. Mom’s mom passed before I was born, same year in fact, and dad’s dad I never met, but had a few words (he literally asked to get my dad to phone).. that’s all.

TLDR: keep your loved ones close for as long as you can! I almost let go of granny near the end… too early.

Funny thing is, when I moved out few years ago, my dad decided my old room would become his office… and it still is my room. I do live only about 20 kilometers away, but I consider going back ”home” for a ”vacation” when I get tired of the urban life… and that happens OFTEN.

Work smart, not hard, as the saying goes…

I thought she was looking at a handheld mirror!

Well, being Finnish myself… I usually keep my hands to the side. Then again, I barely talk. No, I’m not mute, just Finnish.

So that’s… how you shut up an Italian? Hold their hands? Just like a person using sign language, you just turn the lights off? 😆

Edit: Come to think of it, Italians are speaking in sign language… kind of? So holding either’s hand would shut both up?
