Another 5 days off from work

Here's an update from the lazy c*** (I won't say it again. lol) turned early bird. I was in at 7 on Friday, yesterday, and today (take that Mette!!) so my 5 days off, starting tomorrow, are well deserved (yeah right). The reason why I got up so early these last couple of days was my flexi time account. My sad, battered account. My laziness documented on black and white. And it will not get better from next week when uni is resuming. So I had to put in a few extra hours to make up for many short days earlier in the month. Alright, this is a boring and depressing subject so I will...

... switch to an even more depressing topic. My paternal grandmother, the one I am more or less estranged from and not biologically related to, was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer this week. She is a life-long heavy smoker and has a year left at the most. I can't say I'm surprised. We all know cigarettes cause cancer but I don't want to be cynical. Hearing the news last night actually had an impact on me. It's the first case of cancer in the family and it has to be difficult learning that you have cancer and no chance of pulling through. I wish my grandmother the best. Maybe I will call her at some point. Right now, I rather push those thoughts to the back of my mind. I don't like to think about illness in general and cancer in particular. I'm also a cold-hearted bitch when it comes to estranged family. *sigh*

I haven't said anything about Leo in a while, have I? We had little time to speak this last week and only exchanged a few messages. I always end up completely paranoid and missing him terribly when we go through these periods of not really talking. As he may or may not end up reading this, I don't want anyone to think it's his fault that I get hurt. It's me. And maybe it's a little bit him. Unintentional of course. He always makes up for it though. With his sweet and caring nature. And no, I am not kidding. He is one of the kindest people I ever got to know.

My flight is leaving in one hour. My sister's going to pick me up from the airport. I will update from Dresden. Either before or after that wedding I am going to attend on Saturday. Ciao.
