but... who's counting. Can't wait to get on the plane home! The last few weeks have been really busy, but fun. We had our work Christmas party, I managed to drag Steve out to dinner with some friends and then we went out towards the 19th district, always seems like a lifetime away out there. The party was great, it was on a Wednesday night because we had the following Thursday off for some random Austrian that I don't even know what it is. I went a bit crazy shopping that day, I went to this store to buy Reidel wine glasses that were on sale but ended up with all kinds of random things that I decided I desperately needed after living here for over two years. I ended up needing a taxi home, but there was not one to be found. I would have to walk maybe 10 feet, set the bags down, rest and then do it again until I managed to drag myself onto a bus that I knew would take me to a taxi stand. Ha! I looked like quite a fool, but now do have everything I own in tupperware like containers.
Work is work, I'm definitely needing a break.
Everything else in life is good. Steve is still deciding where he is going for the winter and how long he will be gone, I plan to meet him in February wherever he might be. I, of course, am hoping for some hot tropical destination, we will see!
I"m totally ready to go home! I went a bit crazy online shopping, but it just seems like such a better deal at home and as much as I'd like to be that person that adjusts and buys all the products that are here and available, I'm not. I like my Crest toothpaste and Neutrogena face soap.
Yesterday was Day 1 of Ironamn Zurich training. It is fairly easy in the beginning, I will definitely run and bike more than what is suggested, I don't want to go backwards, but the idea of dragging myself to the pool seems like torture. And, I'm going to try to add in weight training this time too. I sitgned up for a swim class that starts January 12. It's quite annoying because the only time I could get in for was 8:00pm, that means not getting home until 9:30 or 10:00 and that is late for me! I have been working on structuring my race plan and trying to figure out what and when to eat, it all seems managable now, but I do remember those days that are yet to come...
For now though, I am just anxious to get through the last couple of days here and head home to see everyone. I can't wait
