Soft Saturday...and catch up

I like to think I will have a Soft Saturday today...even though I started by watching an Italian programme called Annozero.
In "Complotto" is the title of the last episode which talks about the disgusting possible liaison between Berlusconi and a minor with the involvement of the whole family.
What's worse is that the little girl, just turned 18 told the press that she calls Silvio Berlusconi 'daddy' and he will take care that she will have a great future career both in show business as well as in politics.
Personally I did not mind having porn star Cicciolina in the Parliament back in the 80's as she was also a very intelligent woman but I find Mara Carfagna very difficult to digest...
If you don't follow international politics, you might not know she was a topless model who became a minister after a 'friendship' with the Italian premier.
I am sorry for all Italians myself included beyond belief as we now have proof that he is connected to mafia and P2 but yet we cannot do anything to get rid of him! It makes me sick!
And talking about digestive system, my brother suggested that I go to see a new doctor in Milan for my problem with weight and possible thyroidism.
I will see him but will not accept any operation as usual.
I am free of my husband who went to see his family abroad and I am having a great time at the gym.
I have been going almost everyday and will go again today at 16.00.
Since I saw my GP last week and she told me I hadn't lost any weight I did not stop for a second...I started running to every possible aqua class.
I do feel as bloated as a balloon and I have a very strong desire to lose some weight before summer...I would be very happy even with a size 16 just to go to the beach in Sardinia in June...
And this is the most stressful part: I now have two job offers but I cannot start work because I am still waiting for the CRB check to come through.
So disappointing! I really do need some money for my holidays and I am willing to work for it but everything is stuck!!!
The very positive note is that I have increased my chanting of nam-myoho-renge-kyo (www.sgi.org) and my study of Buddhism in the last week with a fantastic increase of my energy levels.
Also yesterday I invited 10 women for a catch up dinner and we had a great time. We enjoyed a buffet and got to know each other much better. We had a great laugh about families and cultures.
Now I will go to do a bit of chanting.
