I'm having one of those zzzz days....

Anytime I sit still reading for more than 2 minutes my head starts falling to the side and I'm almost asleep, catching myself in the last minute, luckily as sleeping is a bit embarassing at work... I hate days like this. Days when you know that if only you could have a nap for an hour you would then be super productive the whole afternoon/early evening, but you cannot as there is no napping place at work and hence the whole afternoon is a struggle where nothing useful is done.

It's been quite some time since I had such a bad afternoon as today. Normally by going outside for a quick walk or moving around a bit I can manage to snap out of it. Today however there does not seem to be any solution. I've been in a daze since 12.30, no matter what I do. Today is the kind of day that my job should includ standing up and moving around the whole day, but without including any heavy equipment as I would probably hurt myself.

Actually change that, I have been in a daze ever since this morning when I first used my boyfriend's toothbrush by accident - quite an achievement as it's kept on the other side of the sink from mine - and then managed to loose the veggie peeler while preparing my salade - somehow it had ended up in it's place in the drawer rather than on the table where I was working.

I'm scatterminded and tired. Tonight I'll try to get to sleep at 10!

me a boat in troubled waters?

got the comment today that my mood is like a boat in high sea - and yes, that is indeed a good description of me. up and down and up and down and not always that easy to follow as i switch quite fast into angry, especially when tired, and very fast from angry to happy.... at least with me you know that after rain comes sunshine, quickly ;)

first step towards realising my dream

Yesterday I went to the bank and opened my first savings account (well, think I might have had one as a child but the first real one since I've started to earn my own money), transferring a first little chunk of money. And every since when I think about it I have a smile on my face - like a little child with a new toy.

Considering that it's just my money having been moved from one account to another, it's not really the money itself but what it signifies that puts such a stupid grin on me: another 20 chunks or so of money and I'm ready to leave, ready to go on that long-term dream of mine to travel the world :)

Easter in Geneva

I have been thinking about writing a word or two about Easter, but haven't really been motivated yet and don't you know, before I did it, my lovely boyfriend wrote an entry about it and also included a small competition about the best painted egg (so go there and vote!).

In short, we had planned to go to Cinque Terre in Italy for a nice 4 days off at the coast enjoying hiking between the villages, meals on terraces, breaks on the beaches etc. However, the forecast said that it would rain for the 4 days and suddenly the idea of having to hide out in hotel rooms and/or hike under the rain just didn't seem that tempting. So we decided to save the money, stay at home for once and go to Italy for another long weekend. This was of course done for reasons of environmental concerns only.... ;)

Anyway, a forecast of somewhat ok weather for Geneva (but spending days in the apartment if it rains is nicer than in a hotel) turned out to mean sun sun sun sun :)

So, we ate, and walked, and went to the baths of lavey, and painted eggs, and met with friends, and suntanned (first bikini use of the year - for 3 of the days!), and ate some more.

All in all a good Easter break in Geneva. What did you do?

travel the world

First couple of friends following their dream to travel around the world just took off from Geneva last week. First stop Austria on their way Eastward - Russia and on.

I wish it was me.

But if I'm good saving money then in another year or so it will be ;)

Miguel and Eva, I wish you an excellent trip with lots and lots of joys, adventures, interesting meetings, beautiful views, different experiences, good food, interesting food, and lovely memories! Still don't know what we're going to do on Wednesday's now - no more body combat, no more dinner with you two after, hmmmm.
