... and even more busy. Too many projects to do and not enough time to do them. I'm going all-out for the next week or two, and then early March I need to get started with the studies.

Ronwen otoh is having a ball with her near-far-Eastern-fliffle-floffle-I-can't-remember-the-names archaelogical subjects. She's so diligent she's starting to make me look bad. She's now starting to learn Sumerian and Egyptian just for the hell of it. I'm waiting for her to teach me how to say 'yo momma' in these languages.

Gym is settling into a routine, we've moved away from the 7am slots to slightly more human times, and Warren and I agreed on two sessions a week, rather than the 95 he was originally suggesting. I then supplement those two weights-based sessions with as many cardio workouts as I can. This is cool for me - I had to explain that I wasn't in as much of a rush to get all Adonis-like as I am just to get healthy and stay healthy and sustain things until they're firmly entrenched as a part of my life. That's the most NB thing, not doing boot camp for 3 months and then flaking out because it's too exhaustive and the rest of my life is falling apart.

Having said that, I'm in my third week and while I don't think I've lost weight, I do feel like some long-dormant muscles are re-asserting themselves as functional parts of my body.
