It all seems to go slower than planned but I still try not to stress myself. I haven't started with the bike trips yet. On Monday I was busy trying to figure out how the washing machine works and yesterday I had a doctor's appointment. Today, depending on the weather I might do a first round. I think I have decided on a new camera. The Canon Powershot SX710 seems like a good alternative. It's not crazy expensive and still has good reviews. But it might be another couple of weeks until I can afford it. I would love to have it for the summer though and summer is right around the corner.
The next bigger project is my balcony and that I will take on this weekend. There is a handyman coming on Saturday to finally fix the plastering around the balcony and then I will put in these IKEA tiles and set up a table with two chairs and of course, flowers and veggies. Once it's all set up I think it will be beautiful and I very much hope to get it done this weekend. It's supposed to be 30 degrees and I can't wait.
Besides that, everything else is still kinda in the air. I feel like I am floating and I just don't know yet where I am going to land. But I do want to try other things or go back to things I really enjoyed. I loved doing the high-rope course and I definitely want to do that again. I also really want to go kayaking again. All of that can be done by a lake close to my house. Maybe I can also try different high-rope parks. There are quite a few in the area but I like the ones in woody areas more than those that are out in the open. I want to feel that I am really climbing from tree to tree. I also really want go hiking again. I know that I can make it work so that I don't have too much hip pain the next day. But I need to challenge myself and I need to find things which are just a great experience and give me a good feeling. I want to feel like I am achieving things and like I am getting ahead in my personal development and that is not just mentally. I really want to be fit again and to grow some muscles. I used to be so different as a kid. I used to be active and confident, now I am just lazy and anxious. I also really want to spend more time in the city. It doesn't take me more than 20 minutes to get there by train and then I am in the heart of Cologne. It's such a great city and I should really make more use of that. Maybe I'll meet a few new people again. Other than that I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
I will film the balcony make-over. :)
