Abstract Random

Hello and happy 2010! (Do you say "two thousand and ten"/"two thousand ten" or "twenty-ten"? I'm thinking twenty-ten is the way to go.)

Anyway. After two lovely weeks of sloth it's back to the usual work routine for me this week. The hardest part has been readjusting my sleep schedule from my ideal stay-up-till-1, sleep-till-9 back to the necessary 11:30 bedtime and 7:00 wake up. I hate waking up early.

I'm not one for new year's resolutions (I usually save that sort of thing for my birthday) but in advance of my rapidly approaching 35th birthday, I have resolved to rededicate myself to the gym in an effort to feel good and be super fit for then instead of feeling old and icky. I've got 11 weeks and it's not like I'm completely out of shape so it's doable. And it's nice to have a goal to focus on instead of working out just enough so I can eat without guilt, which is my usual motivation.

I found my first grey hair the other day. I'm torn between beliving it's just a single mutant hair and knowing it likely has some company. It's hard to tell for sure since all that's been seen of my natural hair colour for the past 15 years is the centimetre or two that grows between colourings. Still, it's an unwelcome sign of things to come.

I'll post photos from Madrid and Barcelona and do a final vacation wrapup in the next few days. Promise.
