TGIF

Yes it is now Friday. And I must admit I am extremely grateful for that. It has been a long week and I am feeling my commute and my days are getting longer.
I was relatively good this week. I went for a swim only once but I still took it easy in the mornings. But i finally had a meeting with a foundation yesterday and i had doctor today so it is hard to do everything. Story of my life. But I am impressively not concerned about it. All went as planned, and that is unusual and nice.
This weekend i will have the entire time for myself so i plan to make use of that! To just catch up with missing pieces and try to sleep and swim. Maybe I can still improve my weekly swimming average! Baby might like that.
What Baby really likes is to know she has a new friend on the way. Just as we were inspired by one another, Baby's friend will also be the same, in the same order. And that makes us very happy. Almost part of a plan we never thought we would execute on living miles apart. So that makes this an even better week.
Baby also started permanent moving. I mean she moves all the time anyway, I never had to count any movements or kicks. But since yesterday she is now in frequent and very lasting little jumps or contractions. Yesterday was the first (of i am sure many) nights when the parents gave up and slept before the Baby!

Time is what makes us different

I heard what is likely to become one of my top 3 favourite quotes on a podcast on Friday. "Time is the only real democratic asset. We are all awarded the same time, it is what we do with it that distinguishes us".  Now, I recognise that most of us need to work with survive and that is not democratic throughout. But on an equal opportunity basis, this is an interesting way of putting it. For many years I did not understand why MS thought my resume was so interesting. In fact, they chased me during the entire recruitment process, even though I had no idea of moving to London or Finance. I wanted to be a consultant and stay in Lisbon forever. But traditional consultants in Portugal saw nothing in me, and MS did not let me go. When I started screening resumes and hiring people a couple of years later is when I understood why I was different. TIME.  I was truly different about what I did with my time. Not necessarily the basics - choice of degree or anything. But really ...

Short one: D-Day

It is D-Day today :-) I took out the braids, and the clock is ticking. Bernardo will be in Maputo in two hours. We have plans for the weekend and so much to catch up on. I doubt I will be blogging soon, hehe

Blogging

I have not written in a while. As I hit the bottom I was afraid of what might come out and what might be registered in the web for eternity. But it does not matter. As I go through this stage I know that writing is probably one of the best things I can do, and keeping things inside one of the worst. And short of re-starting my book (or books) any time soon, as they feature about 27 in my list of things I wish I could do, this is just as good.  People used to write diaries, now they blog. I reas on facebook that people used to be upset if someone read their diary, now they get angry if no one reads their blog. It is a funny phenomena. I must say that most of times I think no-one is reading, so why bother, and even those reading won't miss it amongst all other things they surely read. But then a comment comes through, an email reminds me of something I wrote and I know that someone out there comes and visits my home away from home. For good or bad :)
