Timing

I'm back in Germany in late September.

There are a few positive things about returning at this time: 

• Spring and summer are long gone so I do not have the urge to spend hours working with plants and flowers for our balcony. (It's too early post transplant to do so) 
• Strawberry season is over too. It would be extremely hard to resist them when the lovely looking and tasting strawberries are every where and I wouldn't be able to eat them.  
• Given its already getting cold, I am not craving for ice cream and/or gelato.
• With my weight gain, its easier to hide it under multiple layers of clothing :D

The only negative aspect of landing back in Germany at this time is, we walk straight into the 'cold/flu' season. Almost every other person is coughing/sneezing. With the days of sunshine progressively reducing, this tends to linger on almost through the winter months - doesn't make it easy for an immunosuppressed person.
