This month I went to San Francisco! And I went to Europe! Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg to be precise.
It was so great. In San Francisco I was totally checked out. No plan needed. I’ve lived there before, and I’ve visited since. I have some favorite spots and my friend showed me some new ones. It was comfortable. It was easy. It was fun. Europe was another story. I’d planned and re-planned the trip beforehand. I was fighting for directions and keeping us on time with the schedule. I was stressed out like every single day. Still, it was fun.
And now I’m back and I have the biggest vacation hangover. I started on call this week and it’s been jarring. My brain is so slow. On the bright side, I’m currently taking advantage of the mild jetlag and waking up early. This morning I even went on a light run before work! I’ve also been trying to prioritize sunlight and 10k steps a day. I did this last summer and it did wonders for me.
I’ve been enjoying cooking lately as well. I think in general, I’ve really gotten into a good routine in my apartment. I’m moving out next month, which I feel a bit sad about since things have been going well recently. But the thing is, I love this apartment in the summer. The location is so convenient and I get a reasonable amount of sunlight. But it’s kind of depressing when it’s grey out, so all winter I was well, kind of depressed. I’m not sure where I’m moving next, but I’m excited to experience a new lifestyle.
And well, that’s where I’m at right now. Thriving. Surviving. I want to get my move locked down and then I want to lock in on some self/career development work. More to come on that.
