Short journal again.
Yesterday evening we had our "Ferragosto" celebration with a bunch of Italians and few Germans. I baked pork ribs and potatoes in the oven, using my mum's recipe I learnt when I was 16 :) Ribs were heavy, but extremely delicious. I am so proud of the result! No diet food at all, after eating ribs, we had a "supernova" dense chocolate cake and an Italian Easter cake (that ended up there by chance, forgotten by a friend of mine in his pantry). The celebration has been super fun and I had such a good time! :) Point is: I am still trying to digest... So, from monday on, I will be back on track. I will try this weekend not to overeat or to do healthy choices concerning food, anyway I am visiting two different friends of mine in a nearby town and have no idea about how it is going to be foodwise. I am quite sure there's going to be German style breakfast on Sunday morning, and an Italian style dinner on Saturday night. Later today I will go climbing and have a planned phone call with a good friend of mine. Tonight I wont go out, I think I will watch an episode of Glee and prepare for the weekend.
Since a couple of days I feel better, happier. Somehow, I am accepting the loss in my family, and slowly overcoming it. I am thinking about holidays in Sicily, just have to check whether I can already have holidays at the new job.
And now, back to work. Will write a report... And then reward myself with climbing or a coffee in the sun :)
Things I am thankful for -having learnt to take care of myself -sunny day -seeing friends on the weekend -my lil colorful flat -my new interesting job
Life is good!
