Week 1 of 3 in Canada

My first week back home is almost over! I'm amazed - three weeks from today, I will fly back to Europe, to my other home.

Sitting in my old room, it sometimes feels as if I had never even left. The other day, I was getting dressed and instinctively walking towards the cupboard, where I used to store my socks.. When I couldn't find them, I remembered, that I put them somewhere completely different. It strikes me that habits don't go away easily.

This week I spent at a fairly low pace. I would write some long-overdue e-mails, meet Mary and her girlfriends for coffee, go shopping with my parents and spend looong hours at the pool, reading a good book. This is, what I call a good vacation!

But now I'll slowly get started at preparing everything for Clemens' arrival on Monday. Get my room in order (I lived in my old chaos for one week - that's enough! Now it must get clean again)... With that in mind, I'll get right to work!
