At the beginning of July, my daughter tripped while playing basketball. It seemed like a simple sprain, but it turned out to be a hairline fracture of the fifth metatarsal. Brace and rest. Two weeks later, we were supposed to leave for the seaside.
I’m about to leave for the Netherlands. I’ll spend a few days there with my family. It was a coincidence: Amsterdam wasn’t on my bucket list, but I’m very happy to be going.
I just returned from a beach vacation. I needed to rest, and a place and way to spend my time that wouldn’t even make me think about what to eat. I made it, but it was so boring.
During last week, being away for a family trip, committed to walking and to visiting and to playing, I didn’t use my phone, didn’t check never the email, didn’t watch RSS feed, social things or podcasts. Absent on everything. Voluntary darkness on the news, on the tech update or any web content or curiosity stuff. I deleted any routine. And this liked to me.
