A new job

People have to kind of find their own level, hack their own way through the jungle, and in that respect we've mostly turned out okay.

Finally I am off the pills, but my back is still rather tight and I suppose it will get better after quite some time. I hope that I will get some good advice what to do to heal it completely later this week at the physiotherapy.

I start it the same day as my new job. Yes, a new job, finally! Although I will be able to keep it only by the end of this year, it is as precious as pure gold. I know already that I will work very hard and that the job will not be really for my liking, but at least I won't have to think every day if I earned enough money with the guided tours to pay my bills. It comforts me a bit that I will be still able to work as a guide in my free time.

Cold months of the year are ahead of us and I am glad that at last my life will get the rythm I so long wished for. But first of all I will have to take care of my health. This means a lot of all sorts of recreation, not just hiking to the mountains from time to time.

Yes, my precious mountains ... it's hard to tell how much I miss them. This mountain season is unfortunatelly over for me ... but it seems like the weather is on my side, at least for now (in the picture which I took yesterday on my short walk are flooded meadow and field --- we will get another "shipment" of rain today and tomorrow).

It was like 4000 years ago

Doesn't this look romantic?It does, if you don't have water in front of your door and in the street. There were floods where I live. This is where we usually park our cars: And this is where I parked Zelenc these past few days:We won't be able to eat anything from the garden this year anymore, and this is what I am most sorry for. We helped each other as much as we could, but mostly we were saving our own homes. I saved this little one, a mole: Now we are waiting for the next rain to fall. Today, tomorrow, during the weekend.

We couldn't properly wash ourselves (what a luxury was to take a shower after two whole days and sleepless nights), my mom did the laundry yesterday for me and washed the dishes, too. Fortunately they were not flooded.

Though, I have to say that my spirits were high all the time and I enjoyed the scenery a lot. When I was a little girl I dreamed of rowing in a boat on Ljubljana moor, like they did many thousands years ago when there used to be a lake. Now my dream came true. :)
