Weekly rewind #2
Oh, home, let me come home. Home is wherever I'm with you. Oh, home, let me come home. Home is wherever I'm with you
When you've been living more than a decade far from your hometown, home is a complex word...
Weekly rewind
✈️ We came back to where our lives have been happening for the last 6 years and the sensation of not wanting to come back was huge. Leaving family and friends was hard. I won't see them until the end of the year and it is a heavy weight for my heart. At least, we got to see these beautiful clouds...
🏥 Before leaving, as an announcement of how I was going to feel as soon as we left Buenos Aires, I broke my little toe when I hit the sofa of the Airbnb apartment we were staying in with my right foot. I didn’t think it was broken, so I waited two days before finally going to the ER in pain, only to confirm that yes, I had indeed broken it.
💍 On the good side of life, Olek and I celebrated 17 years of marriage. And our kids decided to use their savings to pay a lunch for the 4 of us. Time flies, and too often we forget to stop and reflect on how lucky we really are.
🗓️ I've organized our annual activities taking into consideration we came back owing money to the bank due to Argentina's unbelievable inflation. Free activities, free courses, free everything. Good for creating a financial plan, bad for stability if you do not follow that plan strictly.
🥵 It is extremely hot and rainy around here so the last days of vacation have been focused mainly on not dying. We've been going out after 15:00 pm and choosing places where air conditioner is part of the deal.
Watching
📺 We are (re)watching Person of Interest (amazing tv series) and watching Hilda with Wanda and Pietro. A year and a half ago we borrowed one of Hilda books at the public library and loved it. We discovered there was a tv show created after the books and we can't stop watching it.
Reading/Listening
📚 I finished reading two books I brought from a used-book-shop in my hometown; one from an Uruguayan teacher, Alfredo Gadino, called "How to help kids to be more intelligent?" (spoiler: not measuring their IQ) and "Ecojuegos para chicos de 6 y 12 años" (Eco-games for 6 to 12 year old kids) written by Leonor Vita. Both offer very interesting perspectives, especially considering they were written 30 and 20 years ago.
🎧 I've been listening on repeat songs from "KPop Demon Hunters" movie soundtrack. I am amazed at the singers' voice range.
Fitness log
🛋️ Does it count as exercise getting up from the couch every time I need to refill my thermos with hot water to drink mate (the tea we drink in some South American countries)?
