Christine's Bday

Last night was the second and official celebration for Christine's bday. We seem to have always at least 2 celebrations and I even think there were 3 but I missed the Wednesday one. Since Tevia and Teeba celebrated their birthdays for a week it is hard to keep up.
Christine is my Austrian friend with the sweetest Austrian accent from the sweetest Austrian place. Yes, I had actually been there before, Zell am See! I was there during the time I lived in Wien for a skiing weekend organized by the super hectic students' association. She is right from where the Sound of Music was taped but yet she had never seen it until she came to HBS and we offered her the film. Her 20-year-old brother, who is visiting for the weekend, says that they live the Sound of Music in their childhood so they don't need to see it! But I think him and Jaime were impressed with my singing and coreographies...
Anyway, the party was at Christine's house and what started quiet ended up being a really fun crowd. A lot of section A people came over, and it was really great to see them again. Off course I had to be a pain here and there because of the missing yearbook pictures but I think overall I was ok! I just thought I would leave some pics here!

Me and the Birthday girl!Me and Tevia, she did not tell me to make a sexy look!

We are not afraid.. are we not?

I see signs saying we are not afraid. Londoners are tough and endured the bombings of WWII. But those Londoners are hardly the same as the ones here today. Yes people in general are resilient, more than we think we can be when looking outside out. That is anywhere in the world, not just in London. And truth be said there is merit in not letting fear control our lives and terrorism win.  Well I just walked into the district line, 5 stations away from Parsons Green and I am afraid. I am not shaking, crying or running away. But I am afraid mostly because it is all so natural. Life must go on I said, as I decided I was not going to cancel my lunch and avoid the tube. But that is what makes it scary. Life goes on and in an effort to not be afraid we recklessly do not change our habits and rely on the stats that more people die on the road then on terrorist attacks. Reality is, the law of probability does not matter because terrorist events are binary.  So I think about my frie...

Too low

Sometimes I feel too low. .  My job by nature involves a lot of rowing against the current, or sometimes just rowing on my own.  I have these immesurable drive to get results and some moments in th day, whére I look and evaluate what I have not progressed, it just brings me down. Today I almost cracked. It does not happen often, I must admit. Maybe I should have blogged during the day to help with the venting process.  An accumulation of incompetence, unwillingness and also just the absolute amount of work it needs to be done by a single person (me) has made me really question why bother. As B says, it's just money, and it's not mine. I wished I could feel like that today.  Maybe i just need to buy those supplements And naturally on top I feel like a bad mother. No matter how I spent the day thinking how I missed C, that wont bring me closer, and what does she care about my thinking. She wants me there. She has struggled with the last weeks, and has become more attac...

Wonderful day

What a wonderful day. I am grateful for this newly found ability to enjoy my surroundings. As this was the second weekend in a roll that we were in Lisbon, the should word was quieter than usual and B triggered the crazy thought. Let's just stay home and do nothing! Wow - can we do that, are we allowed? More than allowed, we do that in London all the time and it is possibly one of my few fears if I ever move here - the inability to do what we want over what others want.  We gave it a go and i indulged into cooking us a proper lunch. As we sat  to do nothing after lunch I commented 'what a luxury'. I truly was not familiar with the concept. And even better family came to visit so we had the combination of both worlds. I ended a day with a friend over for dinner over a bottle of wine. I am grateful for all the little moments that filled my day. I am grateful I did so many things I love in a single day, without even expecting. Thank you.
