What Day?

it feels like Monday but it’s Thursday. I was off a lot of last week (this week) and I’m off a lot next week. I’m getting the days mixed up.

Today one of my first cousins and his wife arrive. I’m looking forward to a week as a tourist

This.morning i have to finish cleaning the apartment. All that’s left is the floor.

Have a great day!

The Breath In Between

My visitors left yesterday, i was sad to see them go. I have a short rest and one day at work and the next visitors arrive. My first cousin and his wife get here Thursday. Since I am now an experienced master entertainer, it should be easy to show them a good time.

But as for now, it’s off to work! Have a great day!

visitors

I have visitors who arrived yesterday. . Yesterday was picking them up, getting them settled in, dinner and of course my Pickleball Lesson number two.

I can see myself playing that pickleball.

Today is a scuba dive and I don’t know what else today entails .

Have a great weekend!

Violinist Takes The Bus

An airline told a violinist he either had to store his 5 million euro 1685 Stratovarius in the cargo hold or not get on the plane. He ended up on an 8 hour bus rude instead of his one hour flight. Read the article HERE.

A violin in a case is small enough for carry on. Airlines are getting more and more out of hand. Everyone is expected to obey every unreasonable whim of every airline employee, irregardless of the regulations.

Cyclone Gabrielle – New Zealand

Cyclone Gabrielle hit New Zealand yesterday and New Zealand has declared a National Emergency for only the third time ever

I have a couple friends there that I’ll be calling later. (7AM here is 1AM there)

Cyclone Gabrielle is now forecast to pass over the Great Barrier Reef, east of Australia. It gets warmer and warmer as one heads north, so Gabrielle may get stronger and stronger.

Something to keep an eye on.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

the beginning of the busyness

it’s Monday it’s a work day. I’m headed to work in a few minutes.

it was a good weekend. Very busy, recorded the Roundup and watched the Super Bowl. Although the Super Bowl was a very close game it wasn’t that interesting. I’m glad it didn’t go into overtime.

I have visitors arriving Thursday, and it promises to be a very busy week and weekend. Like I said earlier, it will go on until March.

Pickleball and Tacos

Pickleball lesson #1 was really fun. I had never seen a ball or paddle before. The ball is like a whiffleball and the paddle is best described as an oversized ping pong paddle. It was fun and easy and I’m looking forward to the next lesson and can see myself playing regularly.

After the lesson, we went to a new place Taco Cantina. It was very good..

The Cayman Islands needed a place like this.

Tonight the Cayman Islands Roundup starts, 14th annual. I’ll be there at noon today setting up my sound and recording equipment for a full weekend of AA Speakers and workshops and events.

Have a great weekend!

Turnaround

I slept good last night, I went to bed a little early and was instantly asleep. I didn’t even get to get my watch off the charger (my watch has the sleep monitor built-in.) I’da liked to have seen that one!

In more sleep news, I believe I’ve mentioned awareness and negative thoughts while sleeping, and while I remember the negativity and persistence, i seldom remember the specific content. So, I put a pen and notebook by the bed. Since then, the torturous self destructive where I’m asleep, telling myself bad things about myself have stopped. I’ve had nothing to write down. Which is good!

Luckily, many problems vanish instantly when confronted. The hardest part seems to be becoming aware of them. By the way, yesterday’s post about not sleeping was from a different source than this mental stuff I’m talking about now. I didn’t go to bed because I was upset about something else.

It seems that I’ve been meeting a lot of people who have trouble sleeping similar to mine. It seems our little quirks (MY little quirks I maybe should say), magnify into larger personality disorders as we (I) get older..

It’s almost the weekend! Bring it!

Normal Nights

I have very few “normal evenings” between now and the beginning of March. Visitors and recording events filling the weekends and some weeks.. I’ll be pretty much running nonstop for a while.

I’m not complaining, I’m glad to be busy, don’t get me wrong, but I didn’t sleep very well last night I’d like to be getting off on a better foot.

I doubt lack of sleep will affect me too bad today I’ve been swimming the half mile almost every day and pretty strenuous exercise in the morning. I was planning on taking it easy in that regard today.

Tomorrow should be back on track, sleep-wise!

Earthquake

There was a massive earthquake in the Turkey – Syria border region. There’s wars and politics and borders messing up the relief efforts. 5000 dead so far, a number sure to rise.

My heart goes out to the people of that area, we’re all the same. Our only differences come from the fact that we all believe the local stuff we are immersed in day in, day out. From childhood to adulthood.
