Today was our first day at the hotel. It's beautiful and (relatively) quiet, and I really didn't do much of anything today.

I did start the day out with exercise. It was to be the sculpting routine this morning. I didn't bring my dumb bells with me, because I knew they had a work out room here. I assumed they would have weights of various sizes. Unfortunately, they did not. So I improvised. We had a pack of water bottles, each 1.5 liters. I don't know how heavy that is, but they were definitely heavier than my weights at home. The bottles were awkward to hold, because they were fat. But I think I have proved to myself that I'm ready to buy heavier dumb bells. Feels pretty good. Not only are my arms a bit sore tonight, other muscles are a bit sore, too. I didn't expect that.

Other than that, I didn't do much today. After exercise, we ate breakfast. Then I took a dip in the pool and basically dozed for the next two hours. After that, well, more of nothing. A little sudoku, a little Angry Birds, some Hebrew study, music, and more swimming and snoozing.

I have trouble with days like this. I feel very uncomfortable and guilty about "wasting time". But I was tired, and wanted to just rest.

Well, except I did manage to burn a DVD today. It's only half of the project I've been working on. Hope to finish it tomorrow.

So, I didn't completely blow the day. But almost.

By the way, the cat continues to be naughty, even while we're here. I got a call this afternoon from the lady who went to check on her, and she told me the kitty had knocked a few books and a plant off of a shelf, breaking the vase the plant was in. She said, "I wanted you to know it was the cat, and not me." I was tempted to say, "I don't know. The cat just called and told me a completely different story." But I refrained. She wouldn't get the humor, anyway.

She concluded, quite logically, that the cat was mad because she hasn't "seen your faces" for a while. There might be something to that. Mr. is still claiming that cats are evil, after yesterday's wire chewing fiasco. That's just silly, but the kitty does not seem to be doing a good job at redeeming herself.
