  "textContent": "I am back!\n\nI have been back for a few days, actually, but this is the first time I have some time and energy to sit down at my laptop and write.\n\nI had planned to write more often during my time off from work, but I severely underestimated how little interest in sitting in front of a computer I would have.\n\nSo here I am now, almost ready to go back to work, and finally writing an update.\n\nI spent most of my time off recovering as best as I could from my burnout: this includes not making any plans, taking things easily and walking a lot.\n\nI went to see a great concert one evening, of the Brazilian death metal band Crypta.\n\nI also walked around Old Town, met a friend from work one day, and visited the Royal Palace and the Marie Curie museum.\n\nIn the Curie museum I bought this amazing book containing a collection of all letters that Marie Curie and Albert Einstein exchanged.\n\nIn terms of my health, I got plenty of rest, went for some easy runs, and did some HIIT and body weight exercises at home.\n\nMy diet however has been horrendous: lots of treats, lots of eating out, way too much beer and not enough water.\n\nI plan to get back on track with eating healthier this week.\n\nSeeing my friends and family back here in Italy was great, and I am glad to be here now.\n\nMy mood is OK-ish. I still feel quite sad for how my relationship ended, and I am not done mourning it. It will probably take me a long time still to get over it completely.\n\nIt is hard to detach completely while we are still being so close, but at the same time I don't want to let go.\n\nI know this is something I need to work on, but at the same time I can't expect an easy and quick solution.\n\nI only have two more days before I go back to work, and I am planning to maximise my rest, enjoy some quiet, and exercise.\n\nI hope the rest of the week will be OK...",
