A reset month

I’m at this amazing cafe in Old Town, Zadar right now. I got up early and got some work done in the morning. Afterwards, I decided to get out and change my work scenery for a bit. It’s about 70 degrees, sunny, and life is good right now. Maybe my opinion will change after my string of calls from 3-9pm today, but for now, I’m enjoying this change of work pace.

I’ve had a lot of mixed emotions about being here. There’s moments of sadness and the feeling that I am indeed “stuck” in a small town in Croatia for likely another month at least. Then there’s moments of joy and adventure that hey, I get to live in this cool ancient town in Croatia for a month.

There’s undoubtedly a lot to be excited about this month amidst all the difficulties that my family will be going through. One positive that I’m excited about is that I can use this month as a bit of a reset. While not a vacation by any means, I can use the month to get back to better habits.

I found a gym here yesterday and I plan to get back to a better schedule of working out. Being in the Mediterranean naturally allows me to get on a better diet that I’m excited about. I also plan to get more sleep and rest more now that I don’t have many morning obligations.
