So okay, just work with me on this one …
Today I was at the Corte Inglés supermarket with Nog, getting a few things for tomorrow’s “baby step brainstorming” lunch with Pip. Being a Saturday morning the queues were just awful, so I asked Nog if he’d mind waiting in line while I nipped upstairs to have a look at the computers. And ten minutes later I was in love!

I’m so busy these days it’s just crazy!
At last count I have four “jobs” … or at least four projects I’m working on that I hope will turn into money-making ventures. The only one actually bringing in any cashola at the moment is teaching, though since I started back in mid-January I’ve only had three classes a week. I should double that amount next month, with Ricardo and Pilar (from The Team) and maybe Bosco coming back. But even though this is not nearly enough to live on, Pip & I have already decided that the focus for me in February should be Health and New Projects. To wit, I plan on expanding on my morning gym time next week to include working out on the machines a bit after yoga classes (M-W-F) and also starting back with Pilates classes (T-T). Monday to Thursday I’ll have English classes at home between 6-9 pm. And the rest of the time? It looks like I’m going to be crazy busy…

This is where Flor lives … beautiful, isn’t it?
Who’d have thought that going back to yoga class would not only be good for my health & well-being, but also for my social life? Last week I was walking into the gym at the same time as one of the new yoga members (well, new since I left last May) , who said hello to me and asked my name. I was expecting the usual confused response that Spanish people have when they first hear my name, but instead this woman said, “is that with a W?”. Ha! It turned out that she wasn’t Spanish at all, but a lovely and vibrant planetary citizen called Flor …

Yesterday morning I went to yoga class and then came home to ride The Bike for an hour (go me!). I was also helping Nog with a temp job doing exam prep stuff for an English school and trying to figure out how to update my WordPress, so I didn’t get round to looking at the first “baby step task” on my list until after lunch. This was to put google maps on the tapas blog so that people could see the locations with just one click. Before I knew it, it was 8 o’clock and my one class of the day was at the door – and I was still in my sit-around-the-house clothes (eep!). But as it was an old student/friend coming back after a few years it didn’t matter … much.
