see you in a few days

I'm gonna keep this short.



Today I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. The very, very wrong side. Not only had I fallen off (don't you see why the expression is great?) I was also just in a really shitty mood (for the first time on this trip, really). It was one of those mornings where you don't really have a reason to be in a crappy mood, but you just are, and every little thing makes it worse.

Due to the absence of food in the house, I stopped on my way to work and picked up a franczuskie. With strawberries. And until now, when I order things, there are generally a few hang ups. But this time, no. I used my newly aquired vocabulary word (to go), I gave her exact change when she asked for it, and I even asked if they had the ones with apples today (they didn't, but I was undeterred). Everything went smoothly. No deer in the headlights moments, no giant question mark on my face moments, none of that.

I got to work and I heated it up in the microwave, figured out how to use the actually, pretty complicated coffee machine and made myself a latte. I sat down at my desk, opened my Outlook, and started looking through my emails. I stopped and smiled.





Honestly, people, this is it. This is all you get. So do what makes you happy. For me, it may be walking around strange cities, taking pictures, and ordering food in new languages. For you, it may be reading, running, riding bulls, rocky road ice cream, ritz crackers. It can be simple, it can be complicated. Just make sure you get out there and do it. Because frankly...what else matters?
