Although I woke up at 3:30am, I spent the morning organizing my room. The ayi, what we call the maid in China, helped me yesterday to move the furniture in my room around to create the arrangement that will permit curtain rods to be suspended. I'm going to hang the curtains for the practice space from them. Since I have myriads of small stuff, it all had to be piled into boxes, hidden away temporarily, to be sorted later. I don't have a lot of time for arranging things. Once I resume work it brings on its own requirements - project deadlines, trainings, resuming my Mandarin studies and resuming my pursuit of green architecture credentials. So I just have to place the things in the room in the best possible way that looks orderly and sort it out later.
My flatmate arrived from Switzerland. The other flatmate did not travel further than Taiwan during the holiday. He must be patient with those of us that are jet-lagged and waking up at weird hours. There are 12 hours of difference for me and 7 for the Swiss. With the Swiss being in his room, which is next to mine, it is easier to maintain a warmer temperature in my room. Before, my room was like an island surrounded by the cold exterior and the flatmate's unheated room. Now his warm room helps to keep mine warm. In my warmer room, I meditated on the cushion.
