This morning I took my time with my morning routine, shopping groceries, making breakfast, enjoying my morning coffee.
I enjoyed yesterday’s excitement and now today’s easy and relaxed rhythm.
I took a long walk along the Odra river into the Old Town. I took my time, watched the boats, took a very short stroll around the market place.
I love this city but tourists do so too. I was glad to escape to this green and quiet part where I am staying.
I took a walk in the afternoon through a district of the city I used to live in as a child. I even found my old primary school. The house we lived in at that time is not there any more though. Things change.
Had a great chat with my cousin. I have many of them. A big family. I love knowing there are so many people in the world that I belong with and that belong with me.
An easy evening. Some reading, maybe anime, relaxed and chillin.
Sunday gratitude.
I’m grateful I watched service on TV on the couch when my old boy had another seizure. I’m grateful I had meds for this situation and made him cramp safely on the couch so he didn’t fall down. I’m grateful the vet prepared me well for this case I’m grateful he was ok after 1 hour of being a bit desorientated and wanted my steak for lunch I’m grateful the rectally applied diazepam made him poop nicely after 2 hours. Maybe I should apply a micro clyster in the future to help with poop. He gets really old and needs special care. He is so lovely, I love him to pieces. I’m grateful for every day he is still with me.
I’m grateful the chores were done before all this happenend. I skipped everything beside cooking and spend the rest of the day on the couch to comfort my old boy.
In this situation I really missed the calming presence and support of my ex. I’m grateful I can do it alone without being overwhelmed or desperate. I’m grateful I rely on myself in a good, healthy way. I’m grateful for first things first.
I’m grateful for the wasching machine, I needed it today. I’m grateful for my lovely, caring youngsters. Their presence and purring is soothing.
I’m glad the neighbours like the postcard I wrote. Maybe they can look after the cats when I’m away for the annual family get together at the end of august. 2 full days would be nice.
I’m grateful I started to set up the new office infrastructute yesterday. It will take some time as my nerves are not the best after today.
I’m grateful I bought a nrw mailbox and mounted it, the old one has been destroyed by a thunderstorn last month. I’m grateful for doing what’s necessary, at my pace. I do the best I can and leave the rest to the universe. I’m grateful on tuesday I will be able to write my lawyer, informing him of the latest developments to discuss them on thursday. My gut is in turmoil with so much happening after months and years of standstill and stagnacy. I’m grateful I allow myself no future tripping and focus on being present. I want to save myself from expectations and hopes that are not met. I feel vulnerable but for the first time in long I don’t feel insecure facing upcoming things. It will be what it will be. I’ll handle it when I’m there. I’m grateful I know I have emotional and practical support, I only have to ask for it I’m grateful I get better in asking for help. ODAAT

I’m grateful for being able to have a counselor now and that I like her. I’m grateful for this morning hike and that it helped bring my anxiety down. I’m grateful for the eagles I saw again. I found where they live and will keep an eye on them. I’m grateful for my new friend. I’m grateful for how fascinating languages and am enjoying learning a new dialect. I’m seriously amazed at how similar to Kyrgyz it is when Karakalpakstan is located a ways from here- am interested to learn the history more. I’m grateful for creamy tomato soup and fresh basil. I’m grateful for getting the grant for the translation project and have heard from a neighboring country that they also have interest in this resource being translated. So maybe I’ll have that to do in Uzbek when I’m finished with Kyrgyz. Really loving how excited social services is about this one! I’m grateful for an easy evening in relaxing and having a cuddle with the dogs.

monday gratitude.
i’m grateful i tackled the dammed internet nonfunction. seems that the lan ports are broken. fuck the “support” hotline who could have checked that easily the 5 times I called. After hours of excluding every other problem … I set up the new PC with mobile hotspot what a crap, like using an old 56k modem, but grateful I got it. Now my nerves are done, after 2 other hotlines telling me bullshit and figuring it out on myself. Oh Jesus, I KNOW why I quit doing this crap 20 years ago. It’s enervating. I’m grateful the basics are working.
I’m grateful it was not hot today, very comfortable temperatures for me going up and down to the cellar level where the modem is. Lots of stairs today
I’m grateful for enough toilet paper at home, yesterday’s overeating took its toll.
I’m grateful for lazy cats sleeping all day while I was working.
I’m grateful I tackle things I really dislike. ODAAT
I spent the morning in my favourite book shop. It’s always the hardest part of my visit cause: books!!! In my native language! Really good books!
When I left my home country as a child it was very soon very clear that I will not go back home. Basically never again. I might go and visit, but never go back.
So everytime I go back to this country I am a visitor. What has kept me connected and lessened my loss somewhat were family visits and books. I will never get that home of mine back, but I can find some solace in books, in my mother tongue.
So today was about books, about being something in between: Visiting and coming home at the same time, and none of it completely.
I had some nice chats with people in town, enjoyed the sun, the trees around here, just life.
I think I am going to log into a Recovery Dhana meeting later.
Thankful for the new football/ soccer team I joined last week. As long as I get my daily 8h of sleep and 2-3 good sport sessions a week, I can manage so much better. Grateful I really understand that now, took me long enough, even though you can read this everywhere.
I’m grateful he was ok after 1 hour of being a bit desorientated and wanted my steak for lunch 
I’m grateful the rectally applied diazepam made him poop nicely after 2 hours. Maybe I should apply a micro clyster in the future to help with poop. He gets really old and needs special care. He is so lovely, I love him to pieces. I’m grateful for every day he is still with me.
