One week to go

Only one more week at work before holiday. I feel like child waiting for school to end. The weather is still so and so, but it better shape up until Friday or Saturday since I have a big pile of books waiting be read sitting on the balcony. After last week in the UK, the pile is even bigger since I bought six more books. Yes, I'm crazy... Or really, I just love books.

Many people have already left for their holidays so things are rather slow at the office, which is nice. Also with not that many people around I get tons of things done, even though I have to admit that I'm taking it fairly easy. Slowing down the pace now instead of the first days of my holiday.

On Friday in London my friend asked me what I was running for and then the same on Saturday. It was not like I had to be somewhere at a specific time. Amazing though to see what a pace I normally keep. No wonder I'm tired when the week is over.... By Sunday I had gotten into a more slow and relaxed mood and then spending another day in London on Monday before going to Belfast had me so relaxed. Until that night when I realised that I had to prepare for the next day...

Tuesday went well, despite that my hair dryer gave up and that the one in the room didn't work. On Wednesday to my surprise I slept until the alarm went off at 8 before having a long and big breakfast. The trip home took 12 hours from door to door, which usually leaves me crazy since I know that tons of emails and phone calls are waiting for me. Not this time. When I got into the office on Thursday morning I was cool as cucumber and very relaxed. Something very rare after being out of the office.

So with one week to go I really hope to keep this relaxed and laid back attitude. Needless to say it feels very good and very needed after another very busy spring.
