Holiday

Today is my first day of ten days off from work. Just heaven! Starting a new in job in late May usually means no holidays, and here in Sweden one usually have four weeks off during the summer, so I was a little bit bummed, but I thought I would live. But the hotter the weather got and people left the office I realized that I had to get some time off as well. The winter was incredible long and even though I was home from January until May, a couple of days in the sun without any worries usually works miracle. Another month or so and it will start getting wet, windy and dark again. Just thinking about it makes me miserable so I have to have some days off in the summer to survive. Sweden is at its prime right now and one have to soak it up while it last.

At first I was thinking about taking a last minute trip somewhere just to get away. But then I felt that I just wanted to be home. To lounge around doing whatever I feel like. Sleep late, read books, go to the beach, enjoy the sun on my balcony, eat and drink whatever I feel like. Simply relax!
