Reflections of a Man's Heart

Not much free time these two weeks, after Rye arrived.

 

In fact, I'm writing this early in Sunday, while she sleeps like a baby. . .

 

These days we have been around shopping, and had to do some paperwork for her Visa here.

 

Unfortunately, we had some trouble when she arrived, so apparently we will get a Visa for only 8 months.

 

It seems Visas are being handled much more strictly nowadays, maybe because there is a lot of illegal residents in the country. Now, no less than 12% of the population is from other countries...

 

Whatever, I don't think we will have much of a problem to renew it later.

 

. . .

 

These two weeks since she arrived have been good, but both of us have the feeling that we haven't been able to really meet, and missed a lot just having a rest.

 

Yes, it looks more like a military instruction camp, with so many chores to handle ^^

 

In fact, I think yesterday was the first day we enjoyed that "like in vacation" feeling. We spent the evening doing nothing, just reading in bed. Soooo lazy!

 

While she had some appointment with other students in her academy to get out on Saturday night, in the end nothing materialized. Exceptionally, it was a *good* thing. Really needed to spend some time together doing nothing.

 

. . .

 

At work, things are just so-so, most of my energies put into something else nowadays. Now that Rye is here, I think I will start to rethink what I want from my work, and what new directions to pursue.

 

Let's see what happens. . .
