Oh, Tuesdays, you are lovely. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Life is crawling back to its regular non-yuletide-season self, and I must admit I’ve missed Tuesdays. \u00a0I slept until noon*, lounged on the computer for most of the afternoon, and then took Bjarki to his swim-class at the end of the day and went swimming myself. \u00a0Afterwards I napped until Finnur finished conjuring forth a dinner, and now I’m back on the sofa with my feet up in the air after putting the kids to bed.<\/p>\n

I’m not one to usually post ‘inspirational messages’ here and there and everywhere, but one popped up on Facebook today that caught my attention. \u00a0I’m posting it here as a personal reminder to stop living in the future, and try and pay better attention to the ‘now’. \u00a0(Grrrr to all those to-do lists my head likes making!)<\/p>\n
