for science, you monster

# Job related: Interesting things that I am not at liberty to talk about yet (I need to get the paperwork signed first, everything else is bad luck in this family. Suffice to say that I am sleeping a lot better and am feeling a sense of accomplishment and reward for the first time after clawing myself out of burnout and depression post-Spain (I am only realising now how that segment of my life nearly destroyed me. I feel pressure on my chest just thinking about it - I still love Madrid and bcn, the language, my friends, but I probably wouldn't do it again. Funny how a lot of stays in my professional life - starting with an international/diplomats' grammar school and finishing with an MA in Spain can be filed under "made me what I am, wouldn't do it again." I am not ready to talk in more detail about this, so please don't comment on this paragraph - thank you and sorry about that). But yes, I am getting better and I am getting where I want to be in this point in my life.



#ugh, movement: Spring is here, and I overindulged by running 20km, walking my dog and doing some agility with him yesterday which lead to dehydration, a sun-strokish experience and a really bad headache. Thank God there is a pill for that. In short: movement yay, too little water and shade, nay. I'm also going to start doing frisbee sports with my dog. Expect goofy photos.

#stuff I've been overindulging on a bookish and fashion front lately (I love it (I don't care)), but I finally got around to seeing my optician (haven't been to one in six years) to get two pairs of glasses, one pair of optical sun glasses and one to wear with contact lenses, still need sports sunglasses that don't look as if I'm on my way to a rave and protect my eyes during our all-summerly glacier hiking trip. Also waiting eagerly for my desktop to arrive.

#books: I'm on goodreads and have been adding recently completed books somewhat randomly, everything there is basically AMA, so just poke me if you want my thoughts on any of the books listed there - and add me if you're on goodreads! I'll eventually come back to posting reviews here on reading wednesday, at least that's the goal. But goodreads is like ... facebook! With actual books instead of people!

#TV: Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal --- I'm sorry there are other shows currently airing, too? (Ok, that and Elementary.)

I hope everyone is well.
