Monday Blues

Today I struggled to get out of bed, which is quite unusual for me. I normally wake up at 0430 prompt, but today I had to drag myself to the shower. Now I'm in the office trying to get some work done, but it looks set to be another one of those very long Mondays.

I had a busy weekend, perhaps that is taking its toll. On Saturday there was a braai (South African for barbecue) at my place, though I'm a teetotaller it was a long and loud evening with a bunch of boy scientists, talking about Uganda's political future or the lack thereof. That is an emotive issue that is gurantteed to cause alot of headache.

The evening was great though, but when you are locked for hours with a bunch of mathematicians, space scientists and astrophysists, you are assured of serious mental engagement and after that long you need a well deserved break.

Oh, next Sunday is the popular Cape Argus Cycle tour, so yesterday I had to ride my bike for a cool 42km to practice for the eminent showdown come sunday. This is going to be my second time participating in this race, and I can't wait.

I need to make this a productive day even if my whole body is screaming...
