According to my Garmin Fitness Tracking, I’m “maintaining a high aerobic shortage”. I need to exercise more, apparently
For the past few weeks, I’ve been swimming at least a half mile almost every day (half the days). I guess I have to pick it up. I also have been exercising and diving and yoga. I’m pretty active each and every day.
Maybe I need to get up earlier and start running before I walk the dogs…
Just kidding. Garmin also says I’m physically fit like a 53 year old, and they know my birth date. .
I love my Kindle Scribe. I use it every day. BUT! A couple weeks or so ago,i got an actual email talking about a new firmware update. I’ve seen articles about it . But it’s not there on their website and it’s driving me nuts.
I’ve had the April update since April. That was way before the email and articles. I want the update that converts writing to text!
This morning it rained again, Good rain, better than yesterday, 30 minutes or an hour. The plants definitely needed it and enjoyed it. I’m grateful for the rain.

My Android had an update available this morning, i installed it without fear or hesitation. It installed flawlessly while I was in the shower. I haven’t checked for new features, but I’m using it now and so far everything works ok. As always.
Not so with Windows updates. Practically everyone i know has automatic updates turned off on Windows. When an update is available, it is usually avoided, at best researched and verified bad bits rejected. If you choose to install, it is a gruelingly long, interactive process . And then you almost immediately find problems with your machine.
I have had a Windows boycott for many years, and it’s nice. I have windows at work, unavoidably, Also i have the laptop at home that i use mostly for external hard drives. When I turn on my windows laptop to move files from a flash drive to a hard drive. It’s a nuisance getting to the OS to do the job, like “Let’s finish setting up your email”. Let’s not.
On my laptop,it takes 20 minutes to get to the screen to do a 60 second job. Windows at work, Microsofts arrogance still continues to amaze me. They think I know what I want better than I do.
Yesterday, as you already know, dear daily readers, I went to work. I was there about two hours, completing vitally important tasks. I probably saved the planet from destruction at least twice in those two hours.
While discussing my vacation situation with our cleaning lady. I showed her my calendar, and realized that yesterday was a vacation day, and I was at work, working!
So I finished my vital task’s and left, I went to the beach, went shopping for groceries, read my book and had a really nice day. And I’m not going back to work till 2023!
Ya know what really grinds my gears? The fact that it rains everywhere else except in my yard
As you probably know, I live in West Bay (center of the universe) and as for being on an 8 mile X 22 mile island, it sure does segregate the rain. I can drive home through flooded streets all the way home only to find dry pavement and sunshine starting a quarter mile from my house. Repeatedly and consistently.
Right now there’s clouds all the way around here, thunder, lightning and I can actually see rain coming from the clouds…over there. Not a drop here.
There’s a saying in Cayman, and you have to see it to believe it. “It can rain in George Town and not in West Bay, but when it rains in West Bay, it’s raining all over the world”
There was a guy in a country called Delgiun who drove trains for a living. He loved his job, he wanted to drive trains since he was a little boy. Unfortunately, he liked pressing the trains to their limits.
One day he wrecked a train because of going too fast and killed one person. He went on trial for murder and was given a death sentence.
For his final meal, he asked for one banana. He ate the banana, got hooked into the electric chair and the switch was pulled. Sparks flew and the room filled with smoke, but the train driver was unharmed.
According to Delgiun law at that time, surviving an execution was considered an act of divine providence and the man was set free.
He ended up getting his old job back. Unfortunately, not too much later, he wrecked another train and two people were killed. Again he was tried for murder and sentenced to death. For his last meal, he requested two bananas.
He ate the two bananas, got hooked into the electric chair and the switch was pulled. Sparks flew and the room filled with smoke, again, the train driver was unharmed.
Divine providence again. He was set free and ended up again getting his old job back, driving trains. Unfortunately, he didn’t learn his lesson and soon wrecked a third train, killing three people. He was again given a death sentence.
For his final meal he requested three bananas. The executioner refused, and against protocol, without a final meal, the train driver was strapped to the electric chair, the switch was pulled, sparks flew and the room filled up with smoke, but again the train driver was unharmed.
The executioner was speechless, the train driver saw this and said, “the bananas had nothing to do with it, I’m just a poor conductor!”
I heard a funny (kinda) story this morning on the BBC. I looked it up and found the article HERE. A woman parked her car in Washington DC, took a picture (above) to remember, but couldn’t find the parking garage after her and her daughters appointment.
Finally, she had no choice but to give up and head home, carless.
she posted her dilemma on social media and people all over began searching for her car. Finally it was found, with the finder posting a selfie with the car.
I had a similar situation at a concert in Baltimore. We lost our driver. I found the right parking garage and empty parking spot, but no driver or car. I had to call my father who drove an hour from DC and pick me and two drunk girls up.
Everyone was drinking 151, except me, I was drinking beer, luckily. My date was puking in the bathroom, the drivers date seemed relatively ok, and was giving me a play by play about the happenings in the ladies room. My father picked us up at a bus station.
I notice lately that there always seems to be a group of half a dozen or so chickens in my back yard. Digging huge pits. I don’t know what made them decide to start hanging out back there but I wish I knew a way to get rid of them. (If I left the dogs out, I’d probably be rid of the cats too and probably end up with a worse hole digging problem;)
I came home yesterday afternoon and thought the litter box was stinking. I keep it pretty clean anyway and it didn’t seem too bad. I figured the cat peed outside the box somewhere, but all inspections revealed nothing unusual.
Finally I realized, it was one of the two guavas a friend had given me. One was “over”, I threw it out the back door. The other seemed pretty good so I cut it in half, delicious looking beautiful pink. I took a bite.
It tasted like smelly armpit.
I threw it out the back door too.
The cat pee smell is gone too. Not sure how I feel about guavas anymore..
