Finally Sunny!

As you can imagine the weather has a big influence on my life.
And today is S U N N Y. That means that I am simply feeling good and full of energies.
  • went to work and came back unharmed;
  • ate quickly but healthy;
  • cleaned the house;
  • almost finished with the washing machine;
  • ready to go shopping for food (we've got friends over for dinner...)
  • ready to do the check-list for the trip....
  • arranged everything for Monocolo and his home-alone-stay;
  • booked a Youth Hostel in Nice (even if I'm not that young anymore);
  • booked the visit to the Airbus site in Toulouse where I'll see how brand new Airbus 380 are put together;
  • RRTG (Really Ready To Go)... one more day and then VACATION!

yoooohoooo! Can't wait until Monday!

Action!

I almost finished to read the Southern France Lonely Planet Guide... and I think we're going to have a pleasant laid back trip on the road. I only hope the weather will be more clement than it is here in these days.

I spent those 2 days off cleaning the house, taking care of the lawn that is not growing (due probably to the low temperatures) and relaxing, reading and planning the trip.
But I still feel I am tired.
This morning I woke up and was talking to Andrea who was preparing to go to work. Something was really strange... and I am not talking about me seing Andrea preparing for work (which is already strange enough since I usually wake up 2 hours before him) but ... I am talking about my sight. Yes my sight. I could see clearly Andrea and all the other things around me without my glasses.
Oh my! There it was me with no need of glasses? no more myopia? What the heck! I almost screamed to the miracle (even if I don't know what Saint could have been so nice to me)... I jumped off the bed and start looking at things around me, went to the window and could see clearly all the small leaves of the plants growing.... Oh my.... I was astonished... until I went to the bathroom and looked carefully to my eyes where I found my contact lenses! Bleahhhhhh
I couldn't believe I went to bed with my lenses on. It's the first time in my life... in 22 years that I wear contact lenses. Ouf... I really must be out of center to do such things.

After the joy for a life without myopia, and the worry for a life without my cornea (for possible demages of a sticked contact lenses) I decided today was the right day to start my first lesson of YOGATODAY and so did I. One hour long yoga will hopefully rehabilitate my day.
I work in the afternoon... let's see what other demage I'll cause and to whom.

Spring? or not Spring...

I've been feeling busy lately. It's not that I have been busy but it's the feeling that kept me frentic.
I feel like I have to do thousands of things... and I keep going around but I do not really DO things but only think about them.
This really makes me feel tired. Also the spring that comes and go and tricks my mind.
In the morning I ride my bicycle to work dressed like if it's winter: the long-sleeves shirt, the pullover, the windcheater, the goretex jacket and scarf. Around 10 I have to take out the windcheater, the goretex jacket and the scarf.... an hour later I wish I could wear a bikini. Then the wind starts and I have to put back on the windcheater... it's like a game: take this out, wear this on and so on.
By the way.... I think it's vacation time. It's been a whole year since our Mexican vacation. Since then I did not had a day of vacation. Now I have the first 2 weeks of April to relax.
I have to do some things at home... but I want a little touring so I just bought the Lonely Planet Guide to Southern France and will start reading it now.
We are thinking of one week/10 days tour... somewhere in the southern hills of France... visiting ancient towns, drinking good wine and eating delicious french food. It's always, always about food for me!
Gotta start reading.

Nothing important!

I'm still alive. Everything is ok. I am only tired and cold and tired. Nothing more to say.
