I always learned Sunday is the first day of the week, a day of rest.
Just like Saturday, I stayed in bed. I need to save energy plus it is cold inside. The winter is near. I wait till I feel better, can leave to drive food to my daughter and we will celebrate a late St. Nicolas with her or an early Christmas. The time we can celebrate together is over. No ring in birthdays together. We became a family living in poverty making the best out of it.
Gasoline is expensive, so are the repairs of the car. I changed my good car for a small city vehicle. Good for the city life but not for driving through the mud and on the highway (especially with wind).
Driving in a small car annoys many drivers and it is not comfy if you are tall. If I am tired I sleep in it and the children wait. Far from luxury but we have not many options. I take blankets with me and boiled water but it seldom is enough. Hard to believe we do in a small old Renault Clio what we once bought a camper for.
The camper gave a holiday feeling and this? I get broke out of the car, get at work, sleep and drive back. After that, I need to recover for at least one week.
I hope "oliebollen" are already for sale. We mainly eat them on New Year's Eve. One granny always said the evening before your birthday it was your New Year's Eve. For a long time, I made (fried) "oliebollen" on that day for my children but these days are over. Liking them is what the youngest two just started with.
If you like to freewrite see @mariannewest for the daily prompt.
source This is a "krentenbol". Krenten is Dutch for raisins. An "oliebol" is just the dough fried in oil.
What did I do?

It took me over 4 hours.

Posted Poverty (En) / Armut (D) it is a #wednesdayquickie. No theme this week.
You have a week to join. It takes 10 minutes of writing. This is my Diary Day too last Friday.

Take an apple.
I think red pepper is more healthy unless you can not digest veggies and fruit and take the vitamines out.
#4
Read/answered via @esteemapp. Big problem words I type are deleted. I sent nonsense comments.
#5
I did the dishes and cleaned up.
#6
We saw the film "The book thief". It was not what we expected and I don't think it had a happy end since Rudi died. The storyteller (the death?) was hard to understand at times and English badly spoken to make clear that they were Germans became annoying.
