Things are progressing very fine, getting better for each new day. Still weird skin around one of my eyes, still somewhat puffy - but it is no comparison to what was - so I am not complaining. Since I am always at home, either sleeping, going around or watching movies and tv-series - as well eating with very good appetite.

My strength returns

On the short list...

Fantasy is quite short on the list, though. I've started some few photo experiments with some close-ups and focus bracketing / stacking... but seem to have no fine feeling for the motives, really. However, it is a way to pass the time.

I also notice the lack of enthusiasm about writing in my diary. To begin with it is just boring to write anything revolving my illness. It is just dull and boring. And I don't really have any urges to write about other things, either. So, i am bored and uninspired - and does my Diary.

Tonight after midnight

Sal is returning from Sicily. He said it was absolutely wonderful to meet everyone in the family, Mary, the girls, his sister Rosie from the US, Mom of course, and his sister Gabi and everyone else. However he didn't really meet friends. He felt comfortable just to be with the family, or having really deep talks with Mary. He enjoyed that very much and says she has evolved incredibly though time.

After all, his ex Wife is also his best friend. I am sure even more so today, now that they share even deeper connection compared to when they where together / or the time after they separated.

I am very happy for him.

The special time "in between"

I am also happy that he takes one day off after arrival. Normally he would arrive a couple hours after midnight, and then go off to work early afternoon. I always felt this is a very stupid thing to do. If there is something extra precious, then it is that time right after you come home from the journey. Work can too easily dissolved that special feel.

I often refer to that time as if you exist in two places at the same time, while also not being entirely at home just yet. A really, very special time. Kind of partially released from the old habits of daily life.

Don't spoil that by going directly to work half day after you landed.

So this time, Sal isn't !
