Over the last week my desire to go online was decreasing by the day. Mostly because nothing really happened, and because I was superstitious: I felt like I'm disturbing the creation of good memories when I only pursue them to talk about them online.

All in all things are ok. I felt somewhat gloomy in the last few days which I spent with my parents, but today's wonderful evening with Wolfgang made things good again. We discovered a new cafe in my street which for some reason I had never really noticed before. It's a mixture of bookshop and cafe. Actually it is what I was missing, a good place to go to in the evening to have coffees and a book to read. The books are used yet somewhat expensive, but it's within reasonable limits.

A few years ago, while I still lived in Radebeul, I sometimes used to drive to the city's railway station in the evening, to buy a book there and spent the night reading it in one of the station cafes. Tonight it became clear how much I am needing this again, and the cafe is a perfect place for that.

My dad gave me 200 bucks, which I really was needing because the gym membership was a bit too much than I could afford on my own. I'm glad I have this dad ... I guess it is clear now that I can go to him when I have problems, he loves me and only wants to help me. He didn't even chide me in the least bit .. although he said I have to be more careful with my money, but of course I deserved that.

Mmmm .. they had a coffee in the cafe to which I could get addicted. It has such a rich aroma, quite unlike the cheap decaffeinated coffee I brew myself at home. The waiter/barkeeper even told me where he got that coffee, I think it might be a good idea to go to that coffee shop to get a package of that coffee for myself, and another one as a thank you present for my dad. My dad always says the coffee is better in Dresden than around his village, because of the water. It's true, the coffee I get at my parents always tastes a bit sour.

As far as my diet goes, I was a bit lazy in the last days. I ate quite a lot when I was with my parents. But I'm determined to go back to my diet today. I'll keep rice as my staple food, but will eat some more vegetables with it rather than the fatless ham and the feta cheese that I usually had. I'm somewhat fed up with meat anyway. When I have it on my plate already, I mindlessly eat it, but when I think about it it even somewhat disgusts me. Time to do some exploring into the realm of vegetables. And into the realm of soups.

Good night for now.
