xc and the monday blues

After a few months away from my family I finally felt it. I haven't felt it before since I was having a great time with G and work wasn't that bad either. We always went out of town, had visitors over, had something to do. But that Monday afternoon it just hit me. I don't know if it was because I've been alone at work for more than a week with no one to talk to, stuck in an office 9 hours a day. It may be the time change which made it weird to eat dinner while the sun was still out. Or maybe because I've been putting off opening a bank account and the day I finally decide to do it, the woman at the bank wasn't there. Or maybe because everyone (well, almost everyone) I know is going on vacation = the beach and I'm stuck in between metro lines.

But well, this is my home now, at least for a few more years so I better get used to the weather, the people, and the work pace. I have to go out more, play sports, run, swim. Luckily summer's coming so it's going to be nicer out and easier to actually do something outdoors. I've started going to the pool and it actually helped. I'm planning to go running next time too.

After this episode I was able to (finally) open my account, it's a full house again at the office, had drinks and tapas with friends at a nice bar. I feel better now and it's the weekend too so maybe that actually makes a big difference. I have more energy and I don't feel tired at all that I even loaded the washing machine. Tomorrow we plan to go to Provins, a Unesco classified medieval town an hour and a half by train from Paris.

Now I'm off to snuggle beside G pretending not to sleep while he's working on his computer.

Life's good again.



peace, luv & good vibes,

xc
