When it’s raining, I always wish I had a window ledge with cushions, like Anne of Green Gable, to sit there and smell the rain falling. Unfortunately, reality has given us the slanted ceilings and gables but no wide enough window ledge to sit on. It isn’t raining much but I love that wet dust smell for some reason. It reminds me of camping a bit. 🙂

Most of all, it reminds me that I need relaxation. Somehow, everyone assumes that because I don’t have my work visa yet, I’m sitting at home, bored and playing videogames or something… Believe it or not, it’s entirely the opposite. I’ve been busier than I have ever been when working in an office job! At least, at the office, there is a finite amount of work and a deadline. Here, we’ve got two business that are being started, we had a wedding to plan. Now I’ve got to do my official name change and all the paperwork that goes with it, get my visa and apply for jobs. So while some of you may be surfing the net at work and reading my blog (and getting paid for it, you lucky buggers!), I’m working too, and sure ain’t getting paid for it!

Ahhh I feel a bit better now that I’ve ranted about that! 😉

So Andrew and I are on a no-drinking-during-the-week break. The weeks preceding the wedding were great, the week of the wedding was great, the honeymoon was great, and the back-from-honeymoon drinks with our friends were great too… Except, my little body wants to get healthier and junk food and alcohol are the best things to cut out to help that process 🙂 Last night’s cheese fondue followed by maple fondue were both lovely but *scratches head* they just reminded me of how unhealthy I feel!

Join a gym? Might do once I work, but I know I have very little initiative when it comes to going nowhere fast on a treadmill. Get a bike? Unfortunately, the Moorings offer no bike sheds or areas to lock them, and in our one-bedroom, I find Andrew’s bike is already too much. Two would be ridiculously in the way. Swimming? Very tempting and most likely option at the moment. I wish the Bishop’s Stortford and Sawbo pools had more than like an hour a day for adult swim though, their schedule is *already* getting on my nerves and I’m not even a member yet. So tell me, tell me my friends! What should Vero do to get back in shape? 🙂
