Returning Home After the Summer Break: Reliving Memories and Resuming Comfortable Routines

Planning for Fall

While my summer isn't quite over yet, I'm already looking forward to the activities I'll be enjoying as the weather cools down. Currently, I'm fully immersed in swimming and working with railways and trains. However, when the time comes, these are the activities I'll continue to pursue:

Running and Railways

Running and working with railways and trains are not just my hobbies; they are a significant part of my life. In the fall, I'll continue to run and explore the intricate world of rail transport. These activities allow me to maintain a balance between my physical health and professional interests.

Bringing Home

My summer vacation has only just begun, but it won't be long before I return home after a long drive. Once I'm back, the first thing I long for is spending quality time with my beloved critters. There's nothing better than sitting in a comfortable chair, basking in their company and letting them know how much I've missed them. It's also the perfect time to release all the pent-up stress of travel.

Reliving Memories and Relaxing

One of my favorite things to do after being away is to put on my favorite music, go through my holiday photos, and lose myself in the memories of the past few weeks. I stay in vacation mode for the next couple of weeks, effectively extending the joy of the trip back home. This break helps me transition back to my regular routine with a lighter heart and a more relaxed mindset.

Grocery Shopping for Comfort

One particularly calming ritual I look forward to is grocery shopping. It's a simple pleasure that brings a sense of peace and contentment. I often purchase freshly squeezed orange juice, apples, and ingredients for a hearty chicken soup. Cooking the soup is a therapeutic process, allowing me to enjoy the aroma and flavors. There is something so soothing about walking around the neighborhood grocery store in the southern climate, adding to its charm.

Relaxing Back Home

After a long day of travel, whether involving hours of waiting to board a plane and dealing with cramped seating, the act of returning home is a relief. To unwind, I unpack my belongings and pour myself a glass of my favorite wine. A toast to myself becomes a moment of reflection and gratitude for having successfully navigated the challenges of travel. It's a small but meaningful way to celebrate the end of a journey and the beginning of a new chapter.
