Comfort found

That too (previous post) has past, I am now back to being Content. I have slept for 11 hours. I have coffee, the internet. Alas there is still no English papers to be found in Dutch territory. I am lazy like a saturday morning. I'm good.

This week has been dark for my company as some people had to be laid-off because of the crisis :(. And specially, my friend, mentor, ex monster-boss, supermodel genius collegue is one of them. We in Amsterdam are sad :(. It won't be the same without her.

I am having a pretty grand time here both at work and personnaly, after a first week of adjustment and rain. The sun came out finally, but this morning it gracefully stays behind a slight overcast to take away any pressure out of my lazy Saturday morning.

Today I want to take it easy like a boat ride, which I might do. I haven't found a place where I can recharge. In Montreal there is my home, the canal, my bike, several cafes, book stores... Here, not yet. There is a great book store 'The American bookstore' where I will probably return too. It's open regular Amsterdam hours (never ;-)). I'm not in an exploring, intensly doing mode. I'm quite low on energy actually, and I would love a massage and possibly a gym. My bones are achy. And I won't speak about my eating habits...

So my Amsterdam knowledge is limited, I still have years of exploration to do :). Meanwhile I was looking at online creative writing diplomas cause did you know? I want to Be. A. Writer. I found tremendous good resources.

The challenge for me is not in the writing itself, it's in finding the focus to do it. Possibly, it's also just about doing it. Some say writing in here hinders the start of my writing project. I say writing in here is vital.
