I had recorded a video but feel it is far easier to write in a blog. As someone who needs positivity in her life, to have what was such a big part of my life suddenly sapping energy from me and becoming a chore instead of fun and a hobby, I needed the time off to just think whether carrying on with it was what I wanted. I decided that I do wish to carry it on, but just need to refind the initial passion and interest I had in it.

So, we made it one week in Vienna. Well, actually a week and a half. So far, so good. What I love about our apartment is the location. We are central to what seems like everything. This is the cafe you see when you walk out of our building. They also have fresh flowers daily. You can tell the Europeans are used to eating fresh foods daily as their refrigerators are so small. There is no room to store or freeze much of anything. Elizabeth is faring well, but I am trying really hard to get her into a fixed.
