The End of the summer in Serbia / Kraj leta u Srbiji

Corrected:
Summer in Serbia starts on the 20th of June and ends on the 20th of September. That’s why today it is +31 degrees Celsius (+87.8 Fahrenheit). Real heat, but it still feels like something already floats in the air. Something depressing. I probably hate the cold, dark, nasty, and gray winter here in Serbia, with all of this polluted air.

This summer was good but also depressing. We visited Vienna, visited Budapest twice, visited friends, and bought a car. I believe I found a new friend.

We also spent so much money on the car, on maintaining the car, and on traveling. My beloved sort of coffee, Yirgacheffe, suddenly appeared in Gradska Pržionica.

I started bodybuilding here in our new basement. I like the results so far. I’ve found better sleep here. Rarely did the sleep estimation drop below 80 points (out of 100). Almost like in Cyprus.

I am attracted to Cyprus. No, seriously! I have fallen in love with the island, mostly because of the weather and warmth, but also because of the freedom I experienced there. I felt free from my routine duties, like an endless to-do list in Trello. Probably I wasn’t born for routine duties, but I’m still pretty good at them.

I regained my independence from my wife. I started to clean the apartment on a regular schedule. Maybe I’m not the best at it, but I’m also not the worst.

It seems like my depression left me—or at least stepped aside. Not so bad, huh?

Leto u Srbiji počinje 20. juna i završava se 20. septembra. Zato je danas +31 stepen Celzijusa (+87,8 Farenhajta). Prava vrućina, ali ipak izgleda kao da nešto lebdi u vazduhu. Nešto depresivno. Verovatno mrzim hladnu, tamnu, odvratnu i sivu zimu ovde u Srbiji, sa svim ovim zagađenim vazduhom.

Ovo leto je bilo dobro, ali i depresivno. Posetili smo Beč, dva puta Budimpeštu, obišli prijatelje i kupili auto. Verujem da sam pronašao novog prijatelja.

Takođe smo potrošili mnogo novca na auto, na njegovo održavanje i na putovanja. Moj omiljeni sort kafe, Yirgacheffe, iznenada se pojavio u Gradskoj Pržionici.

Počeo sam da se bavim bodibildingom ovde, u našem novom podrumu. Sviđaju mi se rezultati do sada. Otkako sam ovde, bolje spavam. Retko kada je procena sna padala ispod 80 poena (od 100). Skoro kao na Kipru.

Privlači me Kipar. Ne, ozbiljno! Zaljubio sam se u to ostrvo, uglavnom zbog vremena i topline, ali i zbog slobode koju sam tamo osetio. Osećao sam se oslobođenim od rutinskih obaveza, kao od beskonačne liste zadataka u Trellu. Verovatno nisam rođen za rutinske obaveze, ali i dalje sam prilično dobar u njima.

Povratio sam svoju nezavisnost od žene. Počeo sam redovno da čistim stan. Možda nisam najbolji u tome, ali nisam ni najgori.

Čini se da me depresija napustila — ili bar odstupila. Nije tako loše, zar ne?
