Its a Tuesday, better than a Monday. I am getting ready to head out the door for work.
A have all of the above above! I got this from Lil Prisca, her blog is more college level while mine is closer to kindee-garden level. Her’s is worth checking out.
Yesterday, i had several great ideas for a post.. None of which survived the night. I woke up alert before the alarm,fell back asleep and woke up brain damaged. Duh.
its a holiday Monday here. It has been a good long weekend . I have kept busy but noticed a phenomenon. I can be busy all day, and if I have an hour idle between activities , i feel like I’m wasting my whole life. Awareness is more than half the solution though. Now that I know I do it, I can easily knock it off.
But it’s a good weekend. Beach, pickleball, yardwork (a little), yoga, went to a cookout. My Bluetooth headset died after over a year of constant use and I replaced it with the same kind.
Im trying to add a 5th cat to my crew of 4.
The first shot of a cute yellow and white cat that been hanging around. Seems to get along with the other four too!
Today i was doing my daily Duolingo. There are parts where the student speaks out loud.. I was thinking, that if i was not in the house alone, i would be self conscious about talking out loud like i do?
Then i started thinking about how I would behave differently if someone else was around. Would I change a lot? Not that much? I’m not sure. To this day, I still pretend the wife is here when I get up in the mornings i keep the room dark and keep the dogs quiet like I did when she was sleeping there. Hopefully there will be someone else sleeping there some day.
So what is normal? If i get to a place where I like myself, then in a relationship, can’t be the me I like, what good is that? On the other hand, interaction requires change and adaptation. I can’t be inflexible.
In the past I think (a little bit) I have lost myself, trying to be the person i think the other person wants me to be. That ain’t no good. But maybe a little is good?
This is something for me to think about, and I have no idea what this is like for other people.
March is almost over, unbelievably, and soon the sea swim season starts. I’ve been training and am looking forward to a good sea swim year.
Above is yesterday’s half mile.
I’m looking forward to a quiet day at work. One guy on holiday and another on travel. My van is in the shop for 100K maintenance, so it’s a scooter day. I haven’t been riding much lately.
I slept pretty good last night. Feel pretty good this morning. The dogs got a long walk and the only disadvantage of my abs app is the sessions seem to get longer. So in short, I’m running a little behind this morning.
Heres a couple sunrise pics from this morning. Usually I’m well inside by sunrise. But the days are starting earlier this tima year!
Here is my recipe for a variation of overnight oats.
1/2 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup milk of choice Half cup of yogurt (i like vanilla, strawberry or mango) 1 cup frozen fruit (or more) 3 second squirt of honey. (Or more)
In the order they appear on the list, put the ingredients in a clean jar from spicy hot Indian curry. Let sit in the fridge overnight.
You can vary the recipe as you like, but then you can’t call them Marks Morning Oats, you’re going to have to figure out your own name for the.
