back up and running

All systems appear to be go, if at limited speed. I'm very relieved. I was at the gym yesterday and I definitely couldn't go all out but I focused on my legs and ache quite a lot today :)

A week of Spring-like weather came to an abrupt end with lots of snow yesterday, but it's already melting and we're getting a balmy 6 degrees (C) this weekend. I'm spending it with my folks in the forest. I was so miserable and 'homesick' the last two weeks so I'm gonna go home. I mean, I have my own home of course, in Lund. But Home is where your Heart is it seems so that's with my family (the majority of it, anyway).

My parents drive me nuts a lot of the time but I think I might be lucky, because I like hanging out with them. Of course my kombo has a bfriend to spend her free time with but she never seems to have the urge to go chill with her folks. Fair enough though, she has lived there for more years than me and more recently...
But I still really appreciate the fact that when I miss my family I can just *go* and it takes me an extra twenty minutes on the train, instead of trying to distract myself with long (lonely) walks or buying some DVDs to watch (alone) because hell you can't just fly home just like that.
And then, of course, there are the times when I miss that feeling of independence you get being away and completely on your own, where your parents have no idea what you're up to and especially don't feel the need to meddle in your affairs (or at least, the meddling is decidedly less annoying and successful when done only on the phone). Or, as Mr Darcy puts it: "It is possible for a woman to be settled too near her family"
But for now (because one never knows what the future brings) I am making the most of being within such an easy distance of them.

And yes, it is entirely possible that I spent some of my covalescing hours last week with a P&P marathon.
