That is how I feel right now… which is good preparation since I still have to spend some more time Power Pointing tonight and I have to do my Dutch homework for tomorrow morning.

It was interesting this weekend. Friday afternoon, UPS picked up my busted Surface and then Saturday morning, my laptop wouldn’t boot past the security console and I couldn’t get a recovery code from my mobile. So, what did I do? Said “It is the weekend. Bring the laptop into the office on Monday and try it there”. And that’s all it took! I know that if I had been still in my old ways, I would not have stopped until I had either solved the problem or everything was broken beyond repair. This time, I figured that means I have nothing to worry about this weekend regarding being connected 🙂

All that is left of the elephant is a few pieces. Pretty amazing, actually. Which is freeing because that means when I come back from Seattle, I can start building out my garden. The weather has improved so much that I want to sit outside and work. Of course, at the moment, there are only the pet loungers on the terrace and those are usually occupied when the sun is out 😉

Saturday night I went to see the Broadway musical “Pippin” at the Carre theatre with a group from the meetup. Not 100% my thing but I wanted to try something new. I did learn a great deal about the theatre from the other people attending who were all big musical fans. I think that I am okay not following musical theatre like I do music 😉

And then yesterday, was one of my best days ever. I sat on a terrace in Amsterdam Noord for 8 hours… I know…  And in case you are wondering, I wasn’t by myself 🙂 And that’s what made it one of the best days ever, the company. I am still not entirely convinced that yesterday wasn’t one big figment of my imagination 😉 Even if it was, it was still one of the best days in my life.

Okay, I am going to try and pull myself together and be serious about the work I need to do and all the other stuff that has to happen before I leave on Wednesday. 🙂
