A whole week of vacation has passed and also February is almost over. I actually didn’t leave Boston at all because there quite a few things for me to take care of. After I had a bad cold at the beginning of the month, I’ve got a sinus infection as a late sequela. At least I had enough time to go to my local health clinic where they confirmed my diagnosis and gave me antibiotics. I still dislike going to a doctor here because I don’t totally understand the U.S. health system, but I also know from experience that a sinus infection requires me to get medical aid as fast as possible. So I don’t know why, but two nurses, a trainee doctor and then the real doctor saw me and examined me before I got my prescription. At least I also know again that my blood pressure is as low as it always was.

The week became much better after this. Basically I had three days of summer vacation. In February. I still don’t get over it. But it was nice. And even though it was chillier today, the sun was shining the whole day. So I walked to my appointment with my tax consultant. Another happy thought: my taxes are filed and I won’t have to think about them again for a whole year. Now I am healthily and positively looking forward to the next week because I feel like I can really get started again.
