Vacation Where Are Though

I am so READY for vacation, not even funny. I am dragging myself through the days, its a nightmare. Of course given the current situation at work, I can dream about vacation and nothing more. Its ridiculous. I hope I can go to that special clinic soon, than at least I wont have to work! *needs a thumb up smilie* I hope they can help me with this grieving thing, its particularly bad again lately. Life. 💡

Tuesday I had my clinic appointment. We decided to cut down on my meds until we can think of something else (not that we have many options left…). I told the doctor that I just have no luck and she replied “well you are lucky you have me!” I thought that was a nice thing to say. âž¡ Of course with the lesser dose of Ciclosporin A my skin started to turn for the worse very fast so I went up again. I just cant handle terrible skin anymore. I will see what she says next week.

The week went by horribly slowly. I spent my afternoons in bed, I could do nothing but sleep. As the weather was quite bad, I didnt miss too much. I need to write another paper soon and I have some exams coming up, yikes.

Das Bernstein TheleskopFriday I finished “His Dark Materials and I very much enjoyed the books. Especially part three is really good. As I already posted on Goodreads, I especially loved the concept of Death being born right along with the New Life. But because death is such a big taboo it hides throughout our life and only appears when we are dying. Whereas in this other world, people befriend it almost immediately and always have a good friend in “it”. I loved that idea, plus a bunch of other things. The triology is really worth reading. A nice inbetween read where you dont have to think constantly. It did take me a while to get into it though. But the idea behind it, I love. I also watched the movie in the meantime, they did quite good. Although I still think movies destroy ones fantasy.

MoenchsbergSaturday was quite nice. The weather has finally turned sunny again, so a friend and I went up a city mountain, just because we could. 😎 So lovely up there. Nature is a nice thing. We wanted to go on pilgrimage on Sunday, but I was so unmotivated. Bummer. Its a little church up a mountain and its so lovely up there. I used to go there a lot when I was younger, with my Mom and friends. I figure we will go eventually.

The Sunday I spent reading almost the complete Alison Arngrim Memoir, I love it! I will finish it in a bit. She is quite a person, too. Oh so strong, really smart and with a good heart, thats important.

So much for the last week. I-Pad progress: 65 saved, 535 to go.
