Home Sweet Home!

I am finally back home. I brought mom with me on Saturday. Sure nice to know that I will be home for a while.

I gave the keys to my rental apartment to a real estate agent I have worked with before. I am hoping that he will find another reliable tenant soon. There is a crack in one of the windows and I have withheld some of the deposit for that. The agent will take care of that for me.

I have seen my cardiologist last week. My sleep is still out of whack. The good news is my blood pressure is back to normal.

Mom and I are both trying to lose weight so, I am planning our meals carefully.

I haven't started exercising yet. I need to figure out the best time for me to exercise. Reading about this online. Any suggestions?

Sooooo good to be back!

All done!

The laundry is done, folded and put away. The suitcases are put away. The fridge and the pantry is nicely stocked. The house is cleaned thoroughly and the vacation mode is switched off.

I am going to Ankara to go see my eye doctor and cardiologist this week. Then I will bring my mom back with me. She missed me and we shall be together more since that I am no longer working full time.

There are some cluttered areas in my home. These will need to be addressed soon. I have to go through my closets, my shoes and all my drawers. So much stuff unused and not needed.

Come November, I shall talk to my lawyer friend to see if he is still interested in working on a joint Contracts Management Training package.

I also need to discuss my new rate with the consulting company I team up with.. I must check my old records and see what they are offering now.

Back again from another prolonged vacation

I enjoyed the last leg of my vacation very much. I went to visit my sister and BIL for a few days. Then I went to a nice small town with an ice cold river and nice beaches where I stayed for three days. On my first day there, an old colleague called me to say hello and when he found out that I was not too far away from where he is now living, he and his wife came to have dinner with me. They had been inviting me over to their house for years so, they told me this time they are not accepting any excuses. We agreed that I would go visit them after my time with my High School buddies.

During the rest of my time, the weather and the sea were very pleasant.

I then went to this beach resort to spend another three days with my High School pals. We all had a very good time as always. I enjoyed the sea and got a nice tan under the October sun.

I then went to visit my old colleague and his wife. They have a wonderful little home in the woods. They took me to a very nice beach at a nearby island. The weather and the sea couldn't be any better.

I am happy and relaxed.

Now, I am back home doing laundry. What else? Lol!

Next week I am going to Ankara to see mom. I think, she will come back with me.

The best part of my vacation was that, it was all paid for in the spring. So, other than buying gas for the car, eating on the road and treating my friends for one dinner, I haven't spent any money. Did not buy knick knacks or anything like that. I only bought some towels deeply discounted at a factory outlet.

I am so glad I was able to do all the laundry today. Tomorrow I will be putting things in order.
