I’m typing this in the stillness between the stabs of acute lumbago. Most likely it’s a delayed bill for overdoing it at the gym a week ago, and in combination with a cold the past week has been so-so; I’m fearful of sneezing because it throws my back out and is really<\/em> painful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer is in full swing with 35\u00b0C \u2013 scorching heatwave by Swedish standards \u2013\u00a0and I’m in front of a screen, gently flexing my spine and sweating. Sara is on a road trip to Malm\u00f6 with Tura so my plan was to catch up on some work. Which is somewhat hampered by having to take a break every half hour to do stretching exercises or just lie down for a bit. Whine whine, whinge whinge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a weeks time I’m going back to work for a short spell, and then I’m on leave for two years to go to school! It’s a vocational course in UX design, and my hope is to find a new line of work where I can combine my analytical and pedagogical skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m looking forwards to focusing full time on studies and finding my own space within the field. Most of all I’m looking forwards to reevaluating what I actually enjoy doing. I have 40-odd years left before I expire, and I’d like firmer steerage of the sloop of my destiny, instead of drifting along the shores of placability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
