Sunday morning rituals

Believe it or not, I woke up this morning because sun was shining in my eye. Honestly, this is the first time I've seen sunshine for weeks - but of course it didn't last. Whether Vancouverites did the traditional thing and ran outside for a walk I wouldn't be able to say, as I dedicate my Sunday mornings for talking with my loved ones in Finland. Time difference is 10 hours, so it puts some restrains on when it's possible to have proper discussions (lets say, three hours or so). Basically, when it's 9 a.m. here, it's 7 p.m. in Finland - if you go the other way around, 9 a.m. in Finland would be 11 p.m. in here which is too late for me (I want to be bed by 10.30 p.m.) - so morning phone calls are the best compromise time. And since I'm normally at work at 9, it needs to be on the weekends - on Saturday morning I'm just too tired, so Sunday morning it is.

Anyway. Before the marathon call I need to get all my things and get comfortable - I make a pot of tea (for which, the new thermos tea pot is just perfect as it can keep the tea hot for over an hour), breakfast, maybe some fruit, pillows... and then I'm ready to begin. I'm usually done around noon, depending on how early we get to start, and from that often follow very lazy Sundays. Reading books, playing games, watching TV, the way we like it.

I'm very content at the moment... work is good, challenging enough but hours are good, yoga practice is going well and I'm very happy with Dragon - I think that's why these lazy Sundays are so satisfying: nothing is missing.
