Tomorrow, we drive to Spain, precisely in Costa del Azahar, in Alcoceber / Alcossebre. One week for lazing around in an apartment not far from the beach, only 300m from the beach "Playa Del Cargador".
We drive tomorrow overnight. First short-stop in Lyon to pick Pierrick up.
Then, we'll be in France the week after, of course in Limoges as first short-stop in France. Then we'll see. 3 weeks holidays with as program only relaxation, outings, discoveries, in short the ideal holidays!

After having been through all of this, having bent over backwards for this, I finally got it. I'm finally recognized as a genuine nurse in Germany. That's one thing less to worry about, and a huge amount of satisfaction and pride!
I got it. I won't play the unpretentious, because I worked very hard for this, and I earned it. It was extremely frustrating when I came here, to have a formation and being unable to be employed as such. Some people didn't think I could make it, it's now obvious they were wrong.

When Jeanne started working in the retirement home, I adapted my work hours, with the agreement of my bosses, in order to spend as much time with her as possible. This lead me to work either from 6 to 14 or from 13 to 21, and it was ok as long as I managed to be there for important meetings. However, last month, during the biannual meeting with my bosses, I was told that time isolation could hurt team work, so I got back to usual working hours.
About at the same period, Jeanne started having to take care of medicine preparation, and started working at 5 to have extra quiet time in order to fulfill those tasks. That's how I'm left having to occupy myself from 5 to 8 in the mornings, and sport is perfectly suited for this.
After having extracted myself from nightly brain fog near to a relaxed breakfast, I still have at least an hour left, spend running or cycling on roads around the house in this beautiful summer start. Even for this only reason is the early waking up already worth it.
On the opposite, when Jeanne is working late, I have those same 3 hours free, spent trying to cook something before getting her at work. And knowing that scrambled eggs are already challenging for me, you can deduce that evening cooking training is way more difficult to me than early sport training. I'm lucky to have an awesome cooking trainer available... as long as she's not at work.

I had yesterday a last interview at the Regierung (Administration) and if all goes well, my diploma will be validated for Germany within the next 3 weeks.
"If all goes well", because simply getting in touch with them to arrange an interview was a pain. You know how it is... administration worldwide has issues concerning deadlines. We're just hoping this time they'll do it right. The man we met there (he was really nice, that deserves to be said) assured us he would do his best since we had all the paperwork ready.

I have an appointment this week at the Regierung in Munich to recognize me as graduate nurse in Germany. I called them during 3 weeks and at last they answered.
I hope that it will faster for the administration.
