Wednesday Weirdness

Posted on by

its a Wednesday and I’m drawing a blank for a post today. My meditation class has been over for a week but I’m still practicing daily. I seem to be in a better state of mind overall I guess.

i had a lot of weird dreams last night. A gear shifter on a large truck with the red knob alongside, thinking I should at least hang a picture in an empty room that had no furniture or windows. And all this stuff that I should read but the list kept getting longer and longer until it was impossible.

im expecting a quiet day at work today. One out sick and one on vacation. I have a ways to go before I get caught up at work. Next Monday I report again for jury doodie. (Yes, I spelled that how I intended) I’m thinking about wearing the exact same clothes and acting the exact same way so I hopefully won’t get picked again.

Anyway, i hope you’ll have a wonderful day.

Really Good Weekend!

It was a really good weekend. I got the front yard mowed in between downpours, I fixed a silly mistake I made on one of the anti chicken lids on the planters. I re-did the tripod that is helping the Otaheite apple tree stand up straight (I think it’s slowly falling over since it fell in Hurricane Grace and I stood it back up). I cleaned the floors in the whole house. I dissected a cherry tomato and planted the seeds. (We’ll see how many come up.) And I went to a “Sashing” for the Cayman Islands Miss Universe contestants. It was super fun!

Lisa is sponsored by One Heart, and she works there. I was invited to attend by the owner. I was so happy to be there!

Sunday morning I slept 90 minutes later than usual, which is huge for me. I barely stayed up past my normal bedtime. I got up at 6:30! Can you believe it!?

And now it’s a back to work Monday. Weather’s supposed to improve. I can mow the back yard this week!

Have a great week!

Anticipation: Goodness!

Good morning, happy FRIDAY! I slept good and I feel good today. Tomorrow is a half mile swim. I’ll be there if all goes according to plan. Hopefully there will be some scuba diving going on on Sunday. Not much work needs to be done around the house. The weather isn’t looking too catastrophic. It should be a good, leisurely weekend.

Hope yours is too!

Happy day to you.

The image below was on Twitter, it struck me and I liked it so I saved the image. And posted it here.

if you’re on Twitter, let me know so I can follow you.

Its Wednesday. Ready for the weekend. Didn’t dive last weekend and want to bad right now.

This morning was clear but there was a huge cloudbank coming from the east. A while ago I heard thunder. It’s been threatening rain for a couple weeks and not delivering. Some rain would be nice. If it’s going to be freaking cloudy, then rain. If it’s not going to rain, then be sunny dammit . That’s what I think. This has been going on for weeks. Clouds and no rain. I’m putting my foot down.

Have a good day.

Cheer Up!

Well, we got that Monday out of the way. Now it’s Tuesday. I went to the eye doctor yesterday, my glaucoma is getting worse, although the pressures are lower, 14 and 18. So I got more drops. It can get worse, but under no circumstances can it get better. Nothing I can do about it. But I’m kind of crabby today.

Here’s a picture of me standing on my head this morning to cheer you up. From my security camera.

Have a great day!

Some Underwater Photos

Its Discovery Day, a holiday Monday here in Cayman. It was supposed to rain for 10 days but it’s been mostly sunny. Hurt at last two of my low light plants pretty badly. I out them out for rain and they got sunburnt.

Below are pictures from yesterdays dive.

Also, on Saturday, I did the CIASA 800M Swim, I was pleasantly surprised to come in 3rd in my age category, willing a 3rd place medal. 3rd out of 5. I’ve never been a racer, I’ve never been on a swim team. I’ve been a lifeguard and swimming lesson teacher and scuba diver/instructor. I realized I am slow and steady,.one speed no matter how far I have to go. So I’m no longer obsessed about going fast, I want the t-shirt.

Anyway, have a fantastic week!

Mission Failed

Posted on by

All i planned on doing this weekend was cleaning the house. I failed gloriously. Saturday I went to breakfast with friends, then lunch with a different group of friends, then saw the Batabanu Carnival Parade.

Sunday I went diving then went to a yoga class, and then mowed the yard . Below are some underwater pictures from yesterday.

And now it’s back to work on a Monday and I don’t mind going.

Have a great week like I’m going to have!

plain day.

morning walk pics

it’s a plain old day. Nothing spectacular just work, staff meeting, hopefully a beach lunch hour. I plan on going back to that yoga class tonight. I liked it.

And it’s looking like a good day is going to be unfolding today.

Hope it’s looking good for you too!

Breaking The Routine

Posted on by
This mornings road shot

I have a very fixed, unvarying daily routine. I need to break up this routine. The way it is now, I go day after day after day and nothing changes. The days are identical. The routine doesn’t allow me to meet new people. Sometimes on weekends, I can go without contact with anyone at all.

Some parts of the routine are inflexible, like work and caring for the dogs, cats, plants and house. But I am trying to identify and alter the parts that are variable. That’s why I went to the yoga class the other day, and again last night. There’s people there!

That is.my mission, break the routine. I also notice that if I’m alone, I either feel like I should be doing something and am wasting time (my life) or I’m depressed feeling. The inside of my head alone is often not a pleasant to be.

That’s what I’m working on.

Have a great day!
