lonely feeling

The most of the time today I spent compiling an ultimate Brainstorm/Prata vetra collection for a friend I made this summer in Prishtina Summer University. She is from Macedonia, but currenly studying in Bratislavia, Slovakia. So tomorrow I should mail it to her dorms address in Bratislava. I have been stretching my promise almost till the last... yes and somehow I am running this Lonely Feeling video clip in my head now. I do have a kind of lonely feeling
Need to pack my suitcase the same as the lonley penguin and disappear somewhere into the blue. Yes, I am kind of a nostalgic sentimental person sometimes. My sweet kitty is now sleeping next to me and I will not see and cuddle her for so long...
Just came back from jogging, had to ventilate my head a bit. Made 2 laps instead of ordinary one. Stretched my stiff joints from 2 years office work. Now my fingers are a bit trembling while I am typing this. Gosh, this grey, rainy autumn does not help my lonely feeling to vanish.
Previous 2 days spent running in rain from one agency to another, getting some papers, bringing some papers, fetching some papers, and creating some papers. I discovered that I am still officially employed by my ex Student Association though it has been a long time I have not done anything there and even paid any social tax into my account. But we forgot to bring some stupid form, so I am still in their register. And actually first of all I did not even have to be there EVER. Just a stupid law on not-for-profit organisations. Yes, we do live in a bureaucratic country - be it for good or bad. And these agencies are usually located according to the principle 'the furtherst away from each other the better'. In addition, they like to change offices. Be aware! And of course you can do none of this business electronically or by phone. So at the end it is so good I retired from my work a week before I have to leave Latvia. At least managed to get some stuff done!
To more interesting stuff - previous weekend visited a friend in Liepaja. After her EVS in Macedonia she is totally in love with the country and really helped me to integrate with the culture there while still being here :) Hope to see her soon again (October) in Skopje! Going to meet some friends tomorrow and probably party whole night. My last weekend in Latvia afterall.
My room is a mess. There is an empty open suitcase on the floor and clothes on top of the bed. I really have no idea what to take and what to leave behind. Can't take all I want anyways. But also don't want to spend too much money the first week buying stuff I already have. What to do about it? I thought I will take more stuff in my hand luggage which will be a rather big backpack. But, stupid me, I am taking laptop with me. Will be too much hand luggage especially if I wanted to see Vienna during the plane connection time (5 hours). So I also need to put the backpack in the suitcase, because I will not hitchhike around with a huge suitcase. damn, I am already taking so much stuff which is not clothes in my suitcase that there is not much space left for clothes. So - shopping in Skopje looks rather inevitable...
A bit messy one this time, but that's me right now.
