The weather turns to be a bit hot, which means summer actually coming. I saw a concert with my friends, have a summer wine with them, talk about my annoyance, make me calm down and finding the motivation to insist on.
Look at work, last week, I try to comb the whole picture of yearly plan, but always interrupt by other trivial things. I will continue to complete it this week.
