Anyone got a compass?

I'm so glad September 1 fell on a Thursday - it was always a poor TV viewing night in my book. Except when Grey's Anatomy was on (and only before Meredith irked me to the point where I stopped watching completely).

Day 1 went well, although I have had to make a few concessions to appease my surprisingly tolerant (though, 24 hours hasn't passed yet) husband. When it's my turn to cook and do the dishes, the TV can stay on but I have to potter about doing things - I can't stop and watch.

When it's his turn to cook and do the dishes I get banished to a non-TV room.

We had to come up with boundaries because anyone who has been to my place knows the main part of the unit is only about 10 meters long, which means there's only about 6 meters between the kitchen and the TV. Additionally, we generally cook whilst the news is on and my husband "feels it's important for you to at least hear what's going on in the world, just in case something relevant to your work arises."

This is man-speak for "don't involve me in your crazy-ass plan."

Feng Shui wise I gave myself a crash course in the basics, ready to start putting some bits of it into practice tomorrow. I've got to make my 'bagua,' find a compass and embrace essential oils.

Did you know that there is specific Feng Shui for your home, your office space, small kitchens, losing weight and increasing wealth? 

I didn't.

The things you learn when you're not lazing around watching TV :-)
