I never get as much homework as I plan to on weekends. But they are ALWAYS eventful. My room can now be a hospitable place for house guests. I can see my desk and actually work on it now. Made the complete effort to attend mass and stayed for Soup and Soul afterwards, a super intersting one for me since our guest Fr. Jai gave a talk on the Indian Yoga System. It's not just a posture practice after all. There's cleansing, focus of the mind, control of breathing, stages of consciousness, sheets of the self... so much. I'm not sure that I can really call myself a yogi anymore, not until I get the whole fascinating big picture. It takes an eternity to cook meals, which is why I only do it on the weekends, and do as much as I can to make sure I can get myself through the week. Today Mom suggested Chicken Aliozcaldo, which turned out more like Lugao, but was absoulutely delicious - and I have my housemate to vouch for that as I still cannot taste everything for what it really is with my sickness. Punctuated my constant stirring of my soup with knitting, my new, obsessive hobby that Sarah has gotten me into. I'm warming up for my Thursday night shawl-making class by working on a scarf. Got a lot done this weekend, and I have to leave it at that as it is now time for serious schoolwork.

Your scarf looks so awesome. And if you want some help starting your shawl before you go and try to work with Elizabeth (just getting the round started)I can help just cast on all your stitches and let me know.
