prettygoodyearHaving a week off is again doing me so much good. Work seems to be from another life and the thought of having to go back next week is already freaking me out a lot.
Just the fact that there is nothing that has to be done is so calming. But also the fact I don't have to get up early in the morning, the fact that I can do whatever I want etc...
Been working a lot on my website. Discovered that Photoshop, without Image Ready, is still able to make animated gifs from videos. So been doing that a lot. Takes a lot of time, but I enjoy it.
Also went for lunch today. Had soup and some chicken sandwich. Took a book with me and just read for quite some time. Something that I also love.
Then tonight went to the sauna. Read some more, but also just sat down, listening to the soothing music they played and nothing else. Again: I love that so much. Just sitting down, thinking, feeling, to be. It's ever so important to me and miss it often when work calls. Even the weekends aren't long enough to really get away from it all.
And then Winter's approaching as well, which also makes me want to just stay inside and do as little as possible. This Saturday I'll visit a cousin of mine, and I don't want to. She's wonderful, but it means it's something planned, and right now I don't want anything planned. Then next weekend a friend of mine will come over for 2 days, another thing planned and another thing I want to skip so badly. But I've cancelled it too many times already.
Let me at least enjoy the days ahead of me in which nothing is required. Shame it's so short though.
