I just finished this book, “Your Second Life Begins When You Realize You Only Have One“.

It was a good book, translated from French, about a woman who wants to improve her life and coincidentally meets a “routinologist” who coaches her to break the routine and improve her life.

Its a good read, and I’d recommend it to anyone. I personally thought it was a little too stickly sweet. But it’s a good theme and has emotional bits.

Pretty good surprise ending too

Have a great day!

Had a good weekend at a yoga retreat that was here in the Cayman Islands. Sea & Soul Retreat, only about a mile from my house.

Now it’s Monday and I’m all depressed, sad it’s over, wishing it could go on forever.

I’m back to work tomorrow . I basically work a week, take a week off, work another week, take another week off, work one more week l, and I’ll be retired. Getting near the end of the wire…

Have a great day!

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the plus side of the HRV. I don’t claim to understand HRV, from what I have been told, it cannot be too high.

My understanding is this, when we inhale, our bodies move toward panic. When we exhale, our bodies move towards rest and relaxation. HRV measures the difference between the individual heartbeats and the inhalation / exhalations.

I don’t claim to understand it. Imagine a fit person watching TV, they get up to get a piece of celery and walking to the fridge barely changes their heart rate. And obese person watching TV, gets up to go get another piece of cake, his heart rate may increase drastically for the effort of getting up and walking to the fridge. His heart rate variation is much higher than the fit person.

I’m told I’m looking at the “wrong scale”, but don’t understand it. HRV. Again and probably not for the last time.

I also realize I completely ignore the “balanced” & “unbalanced” words in there. I only see H heart R rate V variability.

I am going to a yoga retreat this Saturday and Sunday and I am pretty excited about it.

Have a great weekend!

Yesterday, I made a cool video of my morning walk on the dock, where Inswim in the dark. The video looked like it was coming out good, but when I played it back it was mostly all black. (That rhymes) Above is a screenshot from the video yesterday

It’s really nice when the sea is flat and calm and the air is warm. (In the winter, the air is too cool to swim, because I’m spoiled)

Thw weekend is almost here! I’m looking forward to it!

i drink coffee every day. I look forward to my coffee..

Im considering giving it up. I think it stains my teeth. A long time ago I blamed a cigars, and I gave up cigars, (not because of my teeth.)

When I see a picture of myself I am disturbed by my teeth.. Maybe I’ll start drinking a delicious mug of white paint in the morning instead.

I’m thinking about i quitting coffee, I’m not saying I’m going to do it at this time….

Happy Hump Day

Last night, as an experiment , I went to bed at 8:30 instead of starting to get ready for bed at 9 and getting into bed at 9:30 or 45.

The other day I went to bed at 8:00 and got an “excellent” sleep score, which I don’t think I’ve ever done. Last night I went to bed at 8:30 and got a “fair”, which is like usual, but it felt like a really good sleep and I feel good now..

I had nice dreams of being at picnic tables on the beach with lots of friends.

I’m going to have to experiment with this. It seems nice, going to bed at 8:30. Like an old old old old old old old old old man. But I do love waking up early.

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Today is the 11th. In 2 month ,, July 11th, I’ll be retiring.

It was a nice weekend. Quiet and restful. Did a little yardwork and a little housework and took a couple naps.

have a great week!

It wasn’t until the 1980’s or 90’s (was it the 2000’s?) that humankind thought to put wheels on suitcases. It took apparently till 2022 for another genius to put a windshield washer fluid reservoir that holds a full gallon bottle of fluid in a car! Before my Suzuki, each and every one of my vehicles held half a gallon and a cup, or some random amount so that we all perpetually had a third of a bottle of washer fluid sitting around the house, rolling around the back of the car or in the garage somewhere.

Finally! Who says humanity isn’t making progress?

Hava great weekend!

I bought a microwave /convection oven last week. So far, I’ve made a bag of popcorn. Last night I went out shopping for things to cook in the new unit. There’s nothing but garbage! Burritos and egg rolls?

What can I make in a microwave ? I remember when microwaves first came on the market, the selling point was “boil water in a paper cup!” Amazing! That was impossible before microwaves.

Before I built the house, the apartment I rented out of microwave, since then I haven’t had one or needed one. Thay was 20 years ago. Why did I buy one now?

Sheesh

Here’s this mornings sunrise… Disregard my finger in the second one!

Have a good day !

I discovered this song by Blondie. I think it’s her best song. Happy Dog. The lyrics are quite suggestive but the music and sound of her voice is great.

What do you think? Have you heard it before? No you haven’t, because I discovered it just the other day! I also discovered Velcro, but didn’t invent it. (But that’s a story for another day). I hope you enjoyed this song, Happy Dog by Blondie.

Have a great day!
