First nights

I’ve spent the last couple of nights in my new home. Besides an awful lot that still needs painting (probably this weekend), it’s coming together nicely. I’ve got a contractor lined up for the exchanging of power fuses and another that will take a deep dive on the heating control.
Although I’m basically living in a construction site now, I can already feel how good it is for my mind. I’ve been living in a “city” for almost 10 years now, and having a place where you don’t hear traffic or other city disturbances is quite a nice change. I’m even starting to sleep though the whole night instead of waking up regularly because a heavy vehicle drove by or some other kind of noise.
The only downside, I don’t have internet access there yet. But I should get fibre by Monday. As time progresses, everything falls into the right place. Once again.
For now, I’ll be using the coworking space nearby to work “normally”. I think by the end of the week we should have moved the remaining things from my apartment to the house too.

I really enjoy sleeping through the whole night, to be honest. I’m normally only up once for the usual stroll to the toilet. Interestingly (probably because of the “hard labour” of moving over the last couple of days) I also wake up on time right when the alarm rings.

I approved of the improved sleep environment.
