When I was I kid, I smoked ganja every day. In high school we’d be out partying in parks and at secluded roadside locations and it wasn’t uncommon for the police to “catch us” and take our week and make us dump our beer.

I remember telling many police officers (concerning ganja), this should be legal, and when we get older, we’re going to make it legal.’

Now it’s legal in many places and practically legal in a lot of others. I don’t smoke ganja anymore and haven’t for years.

But you know what? I don’t like smelling it all the time. It smells good, but too much man, c’mon!

Is that hypocritical?

Have a happy Thursday!

Its no longer about survival. I have almost 25,000 gems. Duolingo doesn’t even make me pay gems to get more “lives” if I make too many mistakes any more.

They use energy units now instead of whatever it was before that you could run out of and have to buy more with gems. I seem to never run low on energy units.

I wonder how many people have a streak as long as mine or longer? Probably less than 1000or 500. I don’t know how many users they have.

Despite my previous complaining, I’ve been pretty happy with the program for months now.

Rock On

Happy Hump Day!

PS: I was sleeping pretty peacefully when the alarm went off this morning. Much better than yesterday..

When my alarm went off I was dreaming in a place far away from the clock. I woke up dazed and confused.

I had a dream, that I was on some vacation with a group of people. In a wooded, junglish area. I woke up on the back porch. One guy was saying he was going to spring for breakfast and coffee. Yeay!

I walked from the back porch thru open sliding glass doors into my bedroom (where I hadn’t slept).

It was a nice big room, large open area, queen size bed on the left and door to the bathroom on the right. Straight ahead was another open door to the smaller front porch.

There was apparently a leak in the front porch roof, and a stream of water flowing thru my room and out onto the back porch. I was thinking that it was a good thing that I had my flip-flops to walk across this squishy carpet. My bedroom was fine and dry except for the wet floor.

This seemed to be a repeat dream. There were several people there, but in the dream they were all indistinct. Even the guy who was buying breakfast had no face or image. Other people were there, but they weren’t in my dream, if that makes sense. I know they were there, but I didn’t see any of them in my dream.

Also I woke up (and dreamed) about concern for spending so much time scrolling on my phone. In my sleep last night, it was a major problem.

I woke up very disoriented and confused. But had a good morning stretch, run, walk and swim Now I’m headed to work.

Adios!

This is a truly good book to read. I heard of Alexandra l because I use the Insight Timer app where Alex is a famous meditation teacher.
I could really relate to a lot of this book I underlined almost the whole thing. I felt like I was invading her privacy in the chapter about getting pregnant..
She was doing in her twenties what I am trying to do in my ’60s. It makes me feel hopeful and hopeless at the same time.

Highly worth reading if you’re turbulent inside like me.

Itbwas a good weekend. Dinner Club Friday, Earth Day Cleaanup Saturday.

Sunday was a good day of beach yoga and then picked up a friend/co-worker at the airport.

Rhis morning has been nice so far. Nice sunrise,

The sea was flat calm but I didn’t swim because it was a mite chilly in the air. In hindsight, I wish I did swim though…

And now it’s off to work!

Have a great week!

Yesterday at work we had a few pallets of equipment come in.. The company delivering them isn’t too far from the airport. They drove their truck with the pallets and drove the forklift to take the pallets off the truck over to us on city streets..

Hilariously, (to me anyway ) the forklift got stuck on each and every speed bump and the truck had to gently nudge the forklift off. At the airport, it seems like there’s speed bumps every 6 inches!

I thought it was funny, It reminds me of the little train that said” I think I can! I think I can!” from some childhood story. Then “boop!” Stuck on the next speet bump!…

Its one of the many things I love about living in the Caribbean.

Have a great weekend !

Here’s a picture of my house at night. I think it’s a pretty cool picture. I think it’s the first time I took a picture of the house at night.

I don’t remember the circumstances or why I took this picture, probably because Lenny was sitting there.

Have an overly fantastic Wednesday !

I burn incense fairly regularly. Last night I had some going and wasn’t really thinking about it much. But then I went out on the porch and immediately could smell it quite strongly.

I thought “Hmmm, isn’t that odd, I smell it when I leave the scent.”

Either I take it for granted and only notice when it’s gone, or, being in it means I cannot detect it.

Both views are applicable to life in many different situations.

I know when I walk in the door from work this afternoon, I’ll smell last night’s incense and maybe it will prompt me to light some more.

Have a good day and try not to take the ordinary goodness for granted.

Right before last, sleeping was a little warm. Last night, I turned on the AC. The breeze is supposed to pick up again today, but the no AC time of year is approaching an end and the high electric bill time of year is getting ready to begin. Oh well.

This weekend was “different”. I worked Saturday, partly because I volunteered. We had a guy here working on one of our satellite systems. I would have missed my Saturday morning Camana Bay yoga but it was cancelled due to smoke from a dump fire.

Sunday, , I got up at 3:45 and took the satellite system tech to the airport (again, I volunteered) and then had a drywall guy come over to fix my ceiling in the kitchen..

I would have missed Sunday morning beach yoga, put the teacher wasn’t feeling well and the class was canceled.

Today’s post could have been entitled”No Yoga Missed”.

Now I’m getting ready to head into work for what I think, for some strange reason, will be a pretty good day..

I hope you have a pretty good day too and a fantastic week!

April 17, 2005 was my first blog post. I still don’t know what I’m doing.

Aaannnd here’s a few pictures of last night’s sunset!

Have a great weekend!
