Happiness!
Aug. 13th, 2012 04:47 pm1. I have three weeks off work! I'm so happy today on my first day off, for a while I felt as if I was in an altered state. My last real vacation was early December, and I really felt the drag. Then I had to 1. get my boss to tell me who I should turn over my work to (no easy task), 2. actually explain all the stuff I do to people (huh - it doesn't seem so complicated when I just do it!), 3. finish up some stuff and 4. clear out my desk and start on packing boxes because the office will move. I was so exhausted every day for the last two weeks and I'm so glad now it's over.
2. The weather turned awesome just in time. Good job!
3. My parents came for a visit yesterday, and we had a lot of fun. We talked a while about vacation stuff, visited the lake party, listened to some good (and fun) music and went for dinner at a great restaurant, sitting outside overlooking another lake. The band I liked best was JuiceBox, a local(ish) a cappella band; They only sing their own songs, which was an exception at the party.
4. I'm preparing for my big bike tour now. I brought the bike to the shop today so it'll get fixed, I bought some stuff and started planning my route. I'll follow the Baltic Sea Cycle Route probably from Rostock to Świnoujście or thereabouts; I'll decide how much of Rügen I'll include spontaneously. I ordered a tent and a mat, too - I haven't decided if I'll camp or stay only in hostels / B&Bs. It's pretty busy up there atm, so it might be wise to have all options. I'll start Thursday or around that time - I'll let you know how it goes.
