Being organised and knowing in advanced what I’ll be doing is my way of dealing with daily chores and, in the long run, with the future. I know I can’t label, note down or predict everything but I feel better when there is order and consistency in my life. But (in certain situations I adore these buts!) this weekend made me see things from a different perspective – the one of unexpected things.

Working from home is divine! I know have two days a week when I wake up early because I want to, not because I have to, when I don’t rush to work, when I cook and work even more, when I can enjoy a pot of my favourite tea instead of endless cups of so-so tea, when I spend time with Urma (if she wants) and when I am constantly smiling. I feel as if a huge burden has been lifted off my shoulders!

Friday night, as we were leaving the restaurant and wanted to head home, we accidentally bumped into Amalia and Ovidiu – I haven’t seen her in ages! and me and Ovidiu said we’d meet for a tea one day – and I was so happy to see them, the surprise was so intense, that we decided on the spot to go somewhere together and catch up. And so we did. We haven’t been drinking and socializing in a very long time and it was great to do it again. There were so many things we shared with one another, so many laughs we weren’t able to hold back (and why should we?) – it was so so good! And while we were staggering home I realised that unpredictable outings are the best.

And then there are people which I can’t get enough of. We see each other almost daily at work and then I still want to see them afterwards, to go somewhere and talk even more, spend more time together. And I think it’s a good thing that I’m still able to feel that way about certain people, that it’s not only about people disappointing me but also about great friends who have found a special place in my heart and who will stay there a long long time.
