Time on my hands

Time is something I once thought I could never have enough of, but this week, I've a got surplus.

Alberto and I got back from Minnesota on Thursday, but most of my lessons don't start up again until next week. Hours of work this week = 6. Awesome... or not?

This morning I was up at 7am for a morning coffee date. More on that later. By 8 I was home. By 10:30 I was in the gym, lunch at 12:30, my only lesson of the day from 1:30-3:00. By 5pm I had already got my facebook fix and had no idea what to do. My house was clean, the dishes and laundry were done, grocery shopping won't be necessary for another couple of days. I was so bored I almost considered going back to the gym. Luckily, I realized there was a How I Met Your Mother episode I hadn't seen yet. 20 minutes later... what to do, what to do?

Alberto was closed up in the only other room of our 2 room apartment, diligently making some final edits on the book he recently finished writing. Me? Cuddling our cat on the couch. How's that for focus? I really need some new hobbies for times like these. A girl can only cuddle a kitten for so long.

Now Alberto insisted on making dinner. No complaints from me... even if I think it's just his way of getting out of washing the dishes after dinner.

Maybe I'll update the blog. I haven't done this in months. Let's see if I can make it a habit.

random fact: it's colder in Milan today than it was on any of the 18 days we spent in MN this winter.
