Day 4

Sushi is so delicious.  I can’t get enough.

Gelato is also so delicious.  I can’t get enough of that, either.

I spent some time today planning my end-of-summer celebration, and it turns out I’ve got something quite elaborate going on.

Drum roll… I’m going to Austria!  Yes, really.  I’ve booked four nights in a bed-and-breakfast in Innsbruck.

It was sort of a spur-of-the-moment decision, but hey, life is short.  I got a great deal on the room and I’m going to take the train, so I don’t even have to dip into my savings to pay for the trip!

Today is a good day.

 

Day 25

I really, really need today to be productive, even though it’s Sunday and it’s hot and I don’t want to do a damned thing.

I’m daydreaming a lot about my end-of-project celebration – not so much because of the end of the project, but because autumn is coming.

Last night I felt a coolness in the air for a couple of hours, but then it just became hot and sticky again.  I woke up early and couldn’t get back to sleep.

Plan for the day: catch up on work and find something delicious for breakfast.

 

Goal Sixteen: Plan an end-of-summer celebration

Believe me, at the end of this project, I am going to want to party like it’s 1969.

In fact, I think a retro party would be fun. Or a snow party in the mountains. Or maybe just dinner at a nice restaurant with some friends.

I’m not sure yet what form this is going to take, but rest assured I am going to plan a really excellent end-of-summer celebration to mark the beginning of the nicest time of the year (i.e. the three months that aren’t summer), and to reflect on this project and whatever I end up learning from it.

So that’s it – that’s the last of the sixteen goals.  As it turns out, it’s now three minutes until midnight on the eve of the start of this project, and tomorrow morning when I wake up we’ll see what’s in store.  I’m looking forward to improved health, increased happiness, and best of all, spending the summer doing something other than complaining about it.
