The Day After Tomorrow

Dear blog,

I owe you an apology. Sorry for not posting for the last two weeks. The thing is, the last two weeks were simply too much and I did not have the motivation to do anything around posting. Not only did I fall into the famous year-end-work-trap by having to do so many tings in a short timeframe - a.k.a. "being overworked", but also on the private front something happened that made these last weeks simply too much.

My grandfather died two weeks ago. He has started to loose his memory a while ago and was in hospital for a while. Still it was unexpected and quite shocking. It brought up memories of my other grandfather when he died. At the time I was 18 and was preparing for a maths competition and my final exams at the same time. And so I couldn't go because of my exams.

So this was my first funeral. My brother and I flew in - we met in Frankfurt at the Airport after he took a flight from Amsterdam and we flew together to Vienna. My parents went to Budapest by car and we followed the next day.
The ceremony was sad but nice - pretty much what I imagined. It was a way of saying goodbye and at the same time having old friends around was very nice to see. Since then I have been thinking a lot about life and the things in my life and - as this is not a book or one of those hollywood movies - did not come to a conclusion :-)

Except that I need some time off to relax. And this is what I am doing this week. And I thought it would be nice to write a couple of lines and see what happens the next days.
