Good news and routine

Dragon gave me a new teapot as a birthday present yesterday - I joked ages ago that when Dragon was rich and famous and I could stay at home and do nothing all day, I should start collecting teapots... since then people have been giving me teapots as presents. Mind you - I only collect really nice ones that are somehow special - like this new one that is shaped like genie lamp. I'm not convinced of how good or practical teapot a metal pot will make, but we'll give it couple of tries - and in any case it's very pretty. I also got an email about the birthday present I'm buying for myself saying that Iron Council has been sent from Amazon.com! To top the good news my dad called to say that my grandfather was better, though not quite out of the woods yet.

But I swear - that's the last thing I will say about my birthday!

It's funny how quickly everything just comes back to the old tracks after a holiday. Memories from the past two weeks are still clear in my mind, or at least as clear as the photos, but mind is moving on. I don't know if other people's lives are more exciting than mine - but mine seems to follow a strick routine and I like routine. Monday, Tuesday free evenings, spend time with Dragon. Wednesday ashtanga, Tuesday hatha, Friday ashtanga (and that doesn't leave room for much else!). Weekends off - Saturday going shopping, Sunday going weekly grocery shopping. Watch TV. Start again. The only thing breaking the routine at the moment is the thought of the Toronto trip and final preparations - we've now got pretty much all of the tickets and travel sorted out - final thing left to do is get the travel insurance and hope for better luck than John Kovalic. At least we're not flying with Air Canada.
