...it's funny how I'm feeling lately... When I go home from work in the evening, as soon as I step into the house I become stressed and frustrated with the preparations for the big move... Then I go back to work in the morning and fall into the usual routine which makes me feel everything is "normal" again. Hmmmm... I'm actually enjoying numbing my mind with numbers and problem-solving... but then the evening comes and I arrive home back to STRESS! Some days I'm wishing for more days until the move, other days I wish we were leaving today! On a bad day the idea of backing out crossed my mind... but... as Rafael so wisely put it... the train has left the station... and we are on it!! In the end, when all this stress will be over, we'll be sitting in Barcelona on a terrace sipping wine and eating tapas, laughing at all the commotion this move had caused. As you can see, I always like to thing there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Besides, it's not all that bad. After announcing at work that I was leaving, I got invited to lunches and "happy hour" celebrations. So, for the next two weeks I'm set! Then we decided to throw a "See you later!" party and a good friend graciously offered her house for the get-together. That was a lot of fun. Before that, we celebrated 4th of July at the coast with a couple of really good friends. That was the warmest day I have ever spent at the beach. Keep in mind I'm talking about the Pacific NW... I actually walked in the water (no swimming though) and lied down on the blanket to work on my ten. Not bad, not bad at all! I guess I should start singing
“Always look at the bright side of life… tutu,tutu,tutututututu”

Hi Carmen, your post left me sad... there's something melancholic in it, no? But it's true, I think of backing out almost everyday... hahahaha, and considering that I already live in Spain, I can really understand you, but, you know,
"don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best..." (nice song)
Thanks Gonzalo. Your comment brought a smile on my face! I’m already feeling better! :)
Carmen, the blog you linked is not mine... hahahahaha, it's only my school class' blog (a little bit outdated)... how embarrasing!!! We posted a picture that our teachers took us when we were children... (so, if my classmates see your link, they will probably kill me, hahahaha). So, please, delete it, hahahahaha... (in anycase, I really thank you: it was so kind of you)
