….life really was that simple: eat, sleep, love, be happy – but you don’t notice, because you’re to busy worrying….what a waste!

(Insight this week)

My last four days in Canada this year were highly influenced by the weather….
(mehr …)
My four weeks of „Digby working-holiday 2011“
(mehr …)
After receiving virtually no feedback on my job applications over the summer, I decided to make good use of my time and take another trip to Canada.
Conveniently, I found a cheap flight on Air Transat – and on September 20, I set off once again for Toronto.
(mehr …)Today there is some news!!
First of all: I’m officially blue…..unfortunately I had to delete the pictures of me because they all looked stupid…but I have a picture of the final result:

| tool shed after my paint job 🙂 |
And my body is already preparing for this event, too – unfortunately without asking permission.
I try to convince myself that this is some self-cleaning function I haven’t been aware of until now:
for the last two days everything I’ve been eating turns into liquid…..really strange….and NO, it’s not nerves – not yet :-P. It might be the water I drank from a stream three days ago but I refuse to believe that our clean German stream water is not drinkable!!!
So, I stick with the self-cleaning theory and hope that my body is clean enough soon. I obviously don’t need any more weight reduction otherwise I’m going to be blown off my bike by the start signal next week.
This is what hopefully helps to get my body back on track:
I haven’t tried that stuff before, therefore: keep your fingers crossed!!!
So today’s THE day: I’m moving back in with my parents……and I feel terrible.
Not only because we’ve been to the wine festival yesterday as kind of farewell party and my head is pounding now. But also because I came here with high hopes for the new job, for new people, for a complete fresh start. Like you always do when you start a new job. But everything here has somehow come to a dead end. Everything I tried seemed just to not work out. So much wasted time but leaving here still feels like giving up.
Especially like giving up my freedom.
You shouldn’t be moving back to your parents when you’re over 30, it makes you feel like 10 again. I feel like my life is shrinking and like I’m moving back into the golden cage. I hate this dependecy.
I want to be free, I want to have my own flat, my own income, my own freedom. I feel like I’m never getting back on my own feet again.
Hopefully it’s just the hangover talking….
….wow, it’s already middle auf August but nothing much has changed yet.
I guess due to summer vacation there are not much offers at the job market right now. I sent out another application the day before yesterday but that’s about it.

…and tomorrow is my day off – and I don’t have a clue what to do (it’s supposed to be raining again). Maybe just go to Beacon Hill Park and to the seaside – or Butchart Gardens (haven’t been there yet)….
But if anybody has any other suggestions, please write me NOW 🙂
