Good morning 🌞 In my part of the world holidays are just about to begin, they will last till 8th without interruptions and then a bit more. Why do I say this to you? My Christmas tree has just arrived. Who follows me for a few years knows that each year it was a quest and I wasn’t sure if I got it at all. There were too many orders, companies hadn’t had enough either trees or couriers. This year due to the common mood and significant shortage of clients because many families just moved out the city and the country, our tree arrived as ordered - in time, without rush, and it didn’t look like the last stick from the Christmas warehouse that no one wanted. And it smells amazing like typical Russian fur-tree. Moscow isn’t as festive as before, it’s tired. I’m exhausted. And under the snow it feels calmer than before. Slower. There’s not enough immigrants to clean the streets, which is technically the biggest visible achievement of the western economic sanctions. Strong ruble made it senseless to work here: people couldn’t send much money back to their families at home. But ruble is getting back to the pre-war rates, so I have a feeling that the new waves of immigrants are to be expected in 2023. Economy is getting back on track. As about my moving further we are stuck. My mother had heart surgery last month, we are collecting absolutely senseless documents for second round of consulate’s check. The next time I’ll be asked to present a tram ticket my grand granny bought on 15th January 1929, I think. Because why not? Why not to ask it?))). It doesn’t say anything new about her nationality but it’ll definitely challenge our will and motivation. I think another political article written by me will challenge it more effectively))). Anyway… back to the results… Just like Russian economy, as a surprise to everyone involved, I’ve managed to get through the year without personal default, despite my son’s father’s “sanctions”. Sasha is fine and in good health. How are you today? This year? #haveagoodday #artofcollage #digitalcollage by @siduations #morningmood #morninginspiration #goodmorningpost #fashionasinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmv44xjocDu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
