Laziness

[Bathsheba]

Funnily enough I love cold weather... I'm dreading the heat! This is because of my hyperactive thyroid though (and genetic predisposition, my dads' side of the family are all the same). I'm even LAZIER in summer!!!

I do have one plan: French language lessons on a Saturday morning. DH gives his full support... he agrees I need the mental stimulation. I'm the kind of person who also does well in groups... I can really focus when in a formal learning situation.

I also thrive when under pressure... I am really excellent when things have a deadline... my powers of time management are heightened when there is the possibility that I won't be able to complete it in time. I had a rental inspection recently... and my! i was able to do soooo much despite leaving the cleaning to the last minute. I really struggle with having no deadline. Despite the house being chaotic and the kids running rampant every morning we are very rarely late for the school run... infact we are more often early.... and I don't even drive... I have to walk 1.5km. There are families that live closer and drive and are regularly late. This is one thing I am proud of being able to do i guess.

Do it! I do French every Saturday morning and it's the highlight of my week. Same for most of my classmates - they're such a diverse bunch but for all of us Saturday morning is just a total break in our routine.

I'm already thinking of a trip to Japan after our French sojourn and it's partly because I would have a chance to do Japanese lessons lol.

As for laziness, I don't think that I'm lazy. I'm just very cerebral - I really have to push myself to do housework because it provides me with zero mental stimulus. On the other hand I never ever had the problems with researching essays that my classmates had - research is a pleasure to me and even though I'm no longer in any formal education I still find myself reading every book I can lay my hands on about any topic that catches my interest.
