Coming here I knew I wouldn't like some of the food. But this is really throwing a wrench in my eating patterns. Yesterday's lunch and supper were both losers in my book. Gourmet food, just not my kind of food. I was through the kitchen several times this morning and saw a big lentil salad. Yuck, lentils! So when the lunch menu was posted I was super happy that in addition to that salad there was french onion soup and savoury muffins. Win!
And then I ate two helpings. I hadn't planned to but then I thought "what if there is no more food I like for another couple days?!?" At least it was just soup and muffins so I wasn't too full for the afternoon. But I think I just have to live with feast or famine since that's how the food is going to be.
Today was my first day of Karma Yoga. This morning I spent vacuuming, sweeping and squeaking (we'll get to that). And I was asked if I was physically able to do these things? Seriously, am I physically able to vacuum? With a central vac (so nothing to lug around)? With the hardfloor attachment (not a heavy carpet one)? Seriously?
Squeaking? It's cleaning the hardwood floors. It's like a big swiffer with a cloth cozy on it and you spray the floor and then push this thing around. But it does not push easy, so it was a bit of a workout.
This afternoon I spent on the Mac computers uploading audio files and checking them against transcripts. It was a bit slow moving but I talked with the coordinator and he gave me some pointers to help move it along tomorrow.
I'm glad that right now my Karma Yoga is split between more manual labour and more thinking stuff. It's a nice balance.
