When in Rome...

Two down, 28 to go.

We finally managed to have a good heart to heart with Chu this morning and she was saying to me that adjusting back to work after such a long employment might take quite a long time, definitely over two months. You see, I had naively thought it might be something along the lines of couple of weeks... but what she's saying makes a lot more sense.

One of the things that I've come to realise is that as much as I'd like to do nothing at all at the weekends, the fact that I have very little time to do much else than eat and sleep while at home on weekdays means that lot of basic maintainaince like laundry needs to happen on the weekends. It's like I wait until the last possible moment to do the necessary evils, wait until the last clean garment is used before doing the laundry. For that basic weekend lazyness, yoga actually helps. I get out of the house early-ish in the morning, and once I have to momentum it's easier to get going.

As a result, today (and yesterday) haven't been nearly as lazy as they would otherwise be. Granted, we did watch five hours of the new HBO series Rome as per Henri's and Chu's recommendations - I was promised rugged men for me and politics in ancient Rome for Dragon, and on both accounts it pretty much delivered. I'm not a huge history buff like Dragon, and while most of the names in the series were familiar to me, I couldn't place them - and first couple of episodes were literally too full of people for me to be able to follow it entirely. But it was good time for me to do some cooking (we're currently doing Britain and Mexico) and after a while I was enticed by the story and the charactrs.
