Below is a picture of yesterday’s breakfast. An Acai Bowl from Island Naturals.
Saturday I had breakfast had a new place, near my house. Since it’s new, I can’t remember the name .Two Italian words. I think it was her first time in my life I ever had eggs benedict, on an English muffin with salmon and potatoes.
And here’s my coffee I’m drinking right now..
today is a holiday here. Emancipation Day. Today I’m having lunch with a friend and then I’m having guests over for tuna on the grill.
I think the last time I posted about Duolingo, I said I was going to quit. Well, I didn’t. I’m still going.
I I suppose the description under the 30 is fairly accurate, but general conversations that I hear are too fast for me to understand. I still enjoy the lessons, and it’s become a pretty significant part of my morning routine..
here’s my Duolingo avatar, looks just like me, doesn’t it? Except my head is a little bit more pointy.
Yesterday wad election day here, Republic holiday, today is back to work. Like the week’s second monday.
As previously mentioned, I have quite bad eyes.. Cataracts, glaucoma, epiretinal membrane and macular degeneration. I noticed recently (actually for quite a while now) that I “see slow”. When I see a person, it takes time to scan their face and recognize them. Yesterday in a store somebody called my name, I turned and waved and said hello and then they walked out of sight. I didn’t have time to really see their face. I stopped at a stoplight and looking at the license plate in front of me, some of the numbers will be blurred or seem to be missing parts, I absorb the numbers that I can see, and then I have to go back and like scan the parts that I can’t see clearly.
it’s difficult to describe what a defect in the vision is like. I can see okay to drive, reading still seems to be okay, but slower, and I practically need the extra large text I get on my Kindle.
Did you ever see somebody, like Stevie Wonder, move their head and fa kind of igure eight pattern? I catch myself doing something similar, trying to get a good part of the optic nerve to see the missing part of my eye’s image.
Haf a great weekend! A day pass at a Yoga/Meditation retreat on Saturday. It was completely fantastic. Relaxing and spiritual with a lot of new people coming into my life and time spent with dear old friends and teachers.
Sunday was Beach Yoga followed by an excellent coffee and breakfast with some fantastic yoginis, then an event at Eden Rock Dive.Center about a cruise ship terminal that has been proposed and re-proposed as long as I’ve been here. It can’t work. The water is too shallow. It would create problems on top of problems on top of problems, and kill the reef for miles. Vote NO!
And we had a good rain here last night, in fact, it just stopped raining.
To me, it wasn’t a particularly great night’s sleep, but I have been noticing and improvement over the past several months. I (I hope I don’t jinx myself by saying that!)
I know that this morning when the alarm went off I was dreaming that somebody had lost their car keys, and I was trying to “fix” a key so that it would work in their car. On a table in a restaurant. And the person who lost their keys was under the table.
The weekend is almost here! Have a peaceful, calm day.
I guess I’m going to another topic drought. Unless maybe I have written everything that I know and am in this blog. There’s no more topics, I’ll cover them all.
Every time, throughout the day, when I think of a possible topic, I’m sure I’ll remember it. And then I don’t. Every time. I have to learn to start writing them down..
The week is half done almost. I’m ready for the weekend already. A friend of mine turns 65 today, he’s working too.
here it is on a Tuesday morning, after a 4-day weekend. I didn’t do much., studied my course and laundry. Soon my yard neglect has to end. Once it starts raining, I’ll be back out there mowing.
