Friday the cleaning ladies left about 40 minutes before the neighbors arrived for dinner - takeout from Bombay Cafe. In the interim, wiping the wine glasses and preparing the snacks - separate bowls for the dips, separate bowls for the crackers - I said to Hania: "I didn't clean and I didn't cook and I'm still exhausted." And I thought: If I'm this out of shape entertaining, what's it going to be like when I start traveling?
