3 day weekend and other rantings

Hurray! 3 days without working (at least in the library). There's always plenty of stuff to do at home. I always say I'm going to mend my ways after I finally get my house clean (a relative term) and keep on top of the clutter and dust. Never happens. I play a game with the housework -- For every hour of housework I get a half hour of reading (which sometimes magically turns into a couple of hours). I somehow missed out on that "cleaning gene", even though my mother thought I could learn it through repetition.

I just finished a wonderful book by Thrity Umigar called Bombay Times. The story centers on the people in an apartment complex in Bombay who are all invited to a wedding of one of the resident's sons. Each story of each resident is complete unto itself but as a whole makes a wonderful read. Highly recommend any of her books.

Anyone else have the exercising blues? Anyone have motivational ideas? It was so cold, windy and dark this morning all I wanted to do was huddle back in the covers. Unfortunately I still eat like I've run 5 miles a day.

Keep running! Those endorphins are good to keep you smiling and cheerful--or at least not quite in the dumps. And you know you always feel better when you exercise, so suck it up and go to it.
