'What next' moments
This question has plagued me since we bought the tickets to Denmark. In good ways and bad ways. What next? The reigning question. Today it has morphed into What next in my research? What next since we cancelled our plans to leave on Saturday, like our tickets say we should.
It's why I haven't written yet. I'm so busy living the story, I haven't had the time to write the details. Last night we were up late trying to get the answers we needed. It has been a lot of research, on many levels. A lot of re-defining. Each day is filled with something different. Today was supposed to be about going to a historical sight, we are all dressed up. Then it took something like an hour for Ron to just find an address. This is how it goes. So we stayed home, missing the first item on the list, making more plans for the next.
I want to do so many things right now. I want to crochet, I want to blog, I want to sweep and dust, I want to do more research, I want to reach the archives building to make an appointment to go to a 'reading room', I want to learn more about the happify project, and I want to plan for all the rest of 2017, not the just the end of May through June. Plus it's my daughter's birthday, and my brother's. So I feel a little homesick. To the point of having a sour nightmare last night, and being so happy to wake up. The more I travel, the more places and pieces of family that I miss. Plus every time I wake up, they are all asleep unless they are staying up late. I wanted to call my daughter all day, but it's 1:30pm here and only 5:30am there. Then there is the book I'm trying to put together on a website, but I'm having issues with the editing. I need to finish what I started!!
Being in Poland is different, we have our own place, but I miss having someone help us navigate the grocery store. Ron likes new food but for me it's finding something to eat that I understand, something that isn't a best guess, something that might be satisfying, even comforting. Comfort food is a real thing. I need a bit of soothing at the moment.
I got some soothing in yesterday, don't get me wrong, Life is what I make of it while navigating the struggles. We went to the mall, because it's the biggest one I've ever seen. I have shrunk, I only brought 4 pairs of pants and 3 of them are just too big now. Plus, it was a dark, grey, misty, spitting rain kind of day. I still don't even really have a wallet. With all of the culture change and unfamiliar. currencies, it's a longer process to determine the value of things. I am always with Ron, so I stopped carrying money. It has been enlightening, because it makes me think twice about what it means to be a consumer. I like spirituality. I have always been haunted by the phrase: Work, buy, consume, die. Now where was I? Oh yeah, I was buying clothes. But I like saying that my husband bought me clothes. I am a tightwad anyway. He is always the one talking me into getting things. He talked me into an entire new outfit. It helps that the high-top sparkle shoes were only $7.
Poland is so different, and I am wrapped up in it. I still need to get back to Denmark. Oops, but time to go. Hugs to all those that I miss so dearly. When will this adventure end? I still don't know.
