Right after I got better, I sort of got slammed with work and I spent the weekend working on a very interesting project, which is prompting a field trip this upcoming weekend to yet another Berlin historic site. The work has kept me busy—while working over the weekend I took a little bit of time […] I’ve had a pretty busy week – MT showed up Tuesday afternoon. I spent the morning before her arrival going to the gym and getting my hair cut—so I’m looking buff (ha!) for her. Wednesday we went south to Leipzig—she wanted to see the Stasi museum in Leipzig and I was more than willing to […] For each project I have at work, I write a Post-It note with some details and leave it on my desk.

So now I have a conundrum: I will have a total of 15 […] Happily now that I’ve been working for just over a week, I actually have work to do—this makes me very happy. My first real work came last week and I decided to work on it over the weekend—specifically Sunday morning. And I had a cunning plan… On Vacation.
