All good things must come to an end

chesneeI thought writing would be easier and I find it harder to find time. Especially that my vacation officially ends today. Yes, it's time to face the truth: tomorrow is back-to-school day. Funny that teachers dread it too, huh?
It's not so bad for this week, without the kids. They come back on the 1st. For now, it's organising, planning, talking etc. And no sleeping in in the morning. That's the worst!
My car's repair cost about $70, so not so much as I thought. But at least I'm not worried anymore. Yesterday we went t the seaside for the whole day and my fiance even went swimming; but it was too cold for me. My parents were there as well and we had some really good time. They took pictures but I haven't seen them yet.
The ride to the seaside from my city is about 100 km. Not too far, ideal for a one-day outing. And yet, we drove for almost three hours in the awful heat (32 degrees C). It appears almost everyone in my city thought it was a great idea to go to the seaside as well. And since there's no decent highway (why should there be?), we were stuck in traffic like for ever. Seriously, it makes me so mad. My father once said: Poland got independent in 1945, right? It's 65 years already. If they had built even 2 km of the highway a year since then, we would now have reached all the seaside resorts and would not have to stand and watch sb else's back of the car. But why should anyone bother. Arrgh. At least being there was fun.
Today was fun, too. My fiance loves outdoors (and I try to love it) and invited his parents and myself for a bicycle ride today. It was extraordinarily great! I was dirty, sweaty, dead tired, and insanely happy. We are going again next week, if the weather stays right. I don't know what's so great about riding a bicycle, but when I am riding one, I just relax totally and enjoy myself to the fullest. And I really enjoy being with my fiance's parents; they are quite lovely.
Well, but now I have to prepare myself to work. Clothes, clothes, books to give back to the library etc. I don't want to go!
