Under the weather

This second week has been really tough. I came down with some Danish virus, or at least my body has been just really shocked into a new diet, environment and said WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT! My lungs have been filled with some nastiness, and I've nearly used a whole roll of TP just blowing the snot out of my nose.

Otherwise work has been great, and its the easiest part of my week. At this moment, i dread the weekends. I finally got some feedback on my work and now can move forward with reckless abandon. I was reminded how creative this job can be, and how much it makes a difference to be able to come up with crazy ideas. And its starting to get more 'routine' while learning the ins and outs of the job.

This week, we had a guest at work and some of his superiors invited us to go Go Karting at Vandel Go Kart track. This really felt like a Mario kart track with a wonderful terrain. Too bad i could barely reach the pedals, but it was fun and painful. The bunch of old men were incredibly good and I was just learning the ropes. I crashed at nearly every corner i could, but it was great fun. I'd love to really get good at it, and its another thing to keep me busy here in Billund. Maybe its a good way to prepare myself for the autobahn!. The next day, i was sore, bruises galore and ready for more action.
We also had dinner at a lovely Danish home. Wonderful to bond and get to know people as well as a few more ins and outs.

So, this is a recovery weekend. Still need to do some shopping, and now really keep track of my spending. Time to get some errands done while the sun is out.
Maybe its Danish Mentality, but its not bad. Its surely different from NYC but this is the first time in my life to be truly independent - well at least until my first payment. I'm still basking in the glow and glory of it all. I refuse to be under the weather! Nothing will break my spirits. The sun is out and its time to get some things to live on.

The adventure continues.
