Starting At The Finish

Posted on by

I would love to sail solo around the world in my own sailboat. However, I do not want to sign up for sailing lessons and putter around on a Hobie cat, learning how to sail. I don’t want to go out on dates, looking for a girlfriend like some high school kid. I want to already be established in a year’s long, happy, marriage.

This flawed logic of wanting something,, and imagining having it, without doing the work is defective thinking.

those guys on the Titan sub that imploded on its way to the Titanic, were engaged in this same flawed thinking. They could have dived shallower wrecks, they wanted to do one dive and that was the ultimate dive for the most advanced Submariner to ever make. They wanted to start at the finish. It cost them their lives. Same as if I just bought a sailboat and tried to sail around the world without sailing lessons, it would possibly cost me my life. (If I could even get it out of port!)

how much time do I waste, wishing for things I am not willing to work for? There are probably several examples in my life that I’m not even aware of.

Food for thought.

Bullet Post Today

Posted on by

Its Wednesday, it’s cloudy and promises rain today. .

I can’t think of a topic.

Im giving someone a ride to work today.

Yesterday I was having problems with a Bluetooth speaker but it seems fine today.

As far as moods go, I’m more on the crabby side today.

i.made a video of my morning exercise routine, but not sure if I’m going to post it or re-do it. It’s ok, but in parts my head is off the screen when I stand up.

It’s time for me to go to work.

My Last Drivers License?

Posted on by

i got my driver’s license renewed yesterday. It now expires in August 2033. I’ll be 73, if i make it that long living, will I make it that long driving?

i find it amusing, seeing the end of my life coming down the road. I just hope it’s quick,.not some long, drawn out illness.

The foot is God, that’d be quick.

Anyway, this is not a morbid post, it’s funny. And it’s FRIDAY! I’ll probably have 3 more 10 year driver’s licenses!

Have a good weekend!

Blah Notamonday

Posted on by

At least it’s not Monday. I was sleeping good when the alarm went off this morning. I am groggy and sore this morning. All my muscles hurt like i was lifting weights (but I wasn’t) My right ankle is swollen but i didn’t do anything to hurt it.

At least i don’t feel as bad as this kid!

Yesterday was a holiday day for the Kings Coronation.

Have a wonderful week!

Happy May First!

Posted on by

Almost halfway through 2023, it seems like it just started.

it was a quiet uneventful weekend. Saturday I went grocery shopping, twice. First I went out and got a few things, then i went back later and got mostly cookies and ice cream and 72% dark chocolate. I don’t know why, insane urge. Don’t worry, i won’t let it go to waste.

sunday was a strange day, i went to the beach and got sandblasted. And it was cloudy and humidly hot. It’s still cloudy with high clods and a hot seeming wind from the south.

I may have to close the windows and doors and turn on the AC this merry merry month of May.

We may (May, get it?) have an extra holiday this month. The King gets coronated the 6th. Maybe there’ll be a holiday associated with that.

One can only hope!

Hane a delightful day, a wonderful week, and a merry month!

Older Than I Think

Posted on by

I think I’m much older than I think i am . I see people who i think are about my age, and sometimes find out they are much younger than me. People who are actually near my age i think are much older than me.

This is a disturbing altercation in my perception of reality.

im in excellent health and should live forever, but I’m so old, i might die any minute!

And nothing in between!

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Free Ice Cream

Posted on by

it’s better to sell ice cream than to give it away free. If I sell it, then even if a person who has only a little money can get some ice cream. If I give it away free, people may take more than they need or want and in any case, I’ll run out. Then someone who wants ice cream won’t get any.

This is something my counsellor and I discussed the other day. After we talked about it andit soaked in a few days, I had to call him back to re-explain it.

In short, if you sell ice cream, you can make everyone happy. If you give it away free, you can’t.

I’ve been one to give away my ice cream for free. Some take all they can, knowing I’m’ a fool for giving away free ice cream. The others are unhappy because they wanted some ice cream and I didn’t have any.. Nobody hangs around long.

Better Than Monday!

Posted on by

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.

Have a great day and wonderful week!
