Rú is skating!!

Over the weekend—like everyone else—we tried to make the most of the cold and, overcoming my fears, we ended up back on the ice of Nyírjes (in my nightmares, I still see the ice breaking and little Ruben plunging in, and I can’t get near the ice sheet for him…). After 10 minutes, the tip of my nose went numb; after 20 minutes, my entire face lost sensation. But Rú absolutely loved the whole atmosphere, so for an hour I tried to keep every muscle and joint flexible to not spoil the fun.

After an hour, the laws of physiology won, and despite all the fidgeting, we started to stiffen completely from the cold. That hour on a -18°C day was the biggest challenge of the year so far! O.O But despite everything, looking back, I loved the whole experience!

Welcome to our little virtual corner! I’m a single mother raising my wonderful son, Ruben, who has grown into a remarkable teenager. For years, I was the sole breadwinner as a Krav Maga instructor, balancing the challenges of parenthood and work on my own. When Ruben started kindergarten, I embarked on a new journey by studying healthcare management at Semmelweis University, specializing in health tourism management. After graduating, I began working in my field and experienced firsthand the tragic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic while serving as a healthcare manager in a state hospital. As the pandemic subsided, I transitioned into private healthcare, where I currently work as a practice manager. Meanwhile, our family moved from a small town to Vác, a charming historic Danube riverside city near Budapest. Here, we embrace the everyday moments and joys of life together. If you want to hear more stories about us, you’re warmly invited to visit the original Daysonpaper blog at S&Ru’s Diary on daysonpaper.blog.hu. So I decided to try living for a year on an international stage and see if there are other mothers in similar shoes for whom this diary could be a support on the harder days—just as it has been a support for me when I was able to look beyond the difficulties and sincerely believe in my own strength. Thank you for stopping by!
