The weather is good and the sun is shining quite often, but somehow something doesn't seem right. Somehow it seems difficult to enjoy the beautiful days that June and July have brought us over the last few weeks. There's always something wrong at some point, and we're still not really recovered from the month of May, which took its toll on everyone in the team.
But isn't this the best time of the year right now? Technically it is, but there's always something that bothers me. It's usually just little things, but they add up and in the end you're faced with a mountain of problems that have to be dealt with somehow. Unfortunately, it doesn't always help to close your eyes and ignore the harsh reality. Ultimately, problems don't solve themselves and your worries don't disappear as quickly as they hit you.
Of course, it doesn't do much good to constantly and loudly complain about how unfair and unjust the world is to us. But sometimes it does help to let off a little of the steam that has built up over time. Everyone has their own way, and sometimes it helps me just to punch a few lines into the keyboard. Afterwards, I may not be back to my old self and recovered from all my worries and problems yet, but at least for a moment I usually feel light and liberated.
We actually wanted to forget about May as quickly as possible, as we were all down in turns or sometimes even permanently. At least the little ones are doing quite well at the moment, which unfortunately is more than I can say for myself. After the virus is before the virus, although in previous years I had much less to complain about in this respect and often had many months of peace and quiet. But in the last six months in particular, it feels like I'm jumping from one infection to another. The breaks in between are getting shorter and shorter and are hardly enough to recover properly and regain my strength. At least it feels like the sinkhole is getting deeper and deeper and it seems to be getting harder and harder for me to get out of it. This is probably also due to my advancing age, which I unfortunately can't always hide.
I don't really have time to rest, as there are still too many tasks that need to be completed in July. I wanted to concentrate on a completely different project that would take up a large part of my attention. But I don't really have the energy for it right now and can only do it on the side.
As usual, I wish I had more time. Longer days with 30 hours instead of 24 would be great so that I could finally get everything done that's on my agenda. And be able to relax and unwind a little at the same time. But well, as we have no choice but to come to terms with the circumstances, I just hope that there won't be any more health issues to deal with. Then we should somehow manage to get everything else sorted out and, with a bit of luck, there will still be some time to enjoy the summer. It's far too short and over far too quickly anyway.
With this in mind, let's keep our heads up and look ahead. Let's just make the best of the current situation and bathe in a little optimism. The sun should continue to shine for us, which is already a pretty promising start....
