First. I've decided not to worry. I've decided that I will get a much better job, where people treat me well!
The sun is shining. It's dark and cold most of the year in this country, so it feels like luxury to be able to enjoy the summer. The Swedish tradition is to enjoy the summer in a cottage sometimes without heat, water and WC. I'm at home and enjoying warm water, shower, bathtube, broadband but also closeness to the nature and the water.
I've got time. For the moment I am using this extra time to do workout, bike and swim. Who can feel low when doing that in the morning or late in the afternoon?
I've got time to keep myself updated by reading online papers. Normally I just scan through the morning paper.
I've got a few good friends. Not a large crowd but quantity is not always quality and I look forward to get to know some new people when I get a new job. (please note "when", not "if"!).
I'm not spending money, ie not shopping or travelling but my wardrobe isn't empty, and hopefully I can show my children a bit of the rest of the world some other time.
A lot of things are for free. The latest thing I've discovered is Spotify (I've never pretended to be an early adopter). Finding music I've not listen to since 1985 makes me feel about 25 years younger.
Today I'm not complaining. It seems I'm pretty lucky after all. At least in the short perspective, but who knows anything about the long perspective...?
