Back To Work

I went back to work today, probably way too soon considering how tired and mentally drained I still feel, but I’m hoping that getting into somewhat of a routine is going to do me well. I’m currently almost done battling my way through tons of e-mail and as I do so my todo list is growing and growing.

I’m spending a lot of time in Hoorn, which is good. My sister is kind of coming down from all the excitement of the last few weeks (as am I) and I can start to see the cracks appear in her armour. We’ve started throwing things out and packing things up. Of course, her conservative approach to throwing things out is bugging me a bit, but I’m keeping in mind that it’s not really my stuff we’ll be moving and I’m trying to bite my tongue whenever she decides to pack something up she hasn’t seen in a dog’s age rather than just binning it.

Going to work from Hoorn by train brought back some tiring memories. For anyone of you who wants an accurate (and hilarious) description of what a morning rush hour train-ride from Hoorn to Amsterdam is like, I suggest you go and talk to Sam, who has nothing but love for that stretch of railway and the people that travel it. :)

Everything that has happened over the last few weeks has thrown my body off a bit. I’ve been sleeping poorly, eating poorly and generally getting next to no real exercise. Not feeling so great in that regard. I’m sure my immunity is low right now and I feel something pushing against it, so I’m hoping that by injecting a little bit of mundanity into my life I’ll be able to hold off whatever’s bugging me.

This makes me miss Forkie! :)

Got my phonebill for this month: 463,41 euro. Ouch.
