Stuck Fork Truck

Yesterday at work we had a few pallets of equipment come in.. The company delivering them isn’t too far from the airport. They drove their truck with the pallets and drove the forklift to take the pallets off the truck over to us on city streets..

Hilariously, (to me anyway ) the forklift got stuck on each and every speed bump and the truck had to gently nudge the forklift off. At the airport, it seems like there’s speed bumps every 6 inches!

I thought it was funny, It reminds me of the little train that said” I think I can! I think I can!” from some childhood story. Then “boop!” Stuck on the next speet bump!…

Its one of the many things I love about living in the Caribbean.

Have a great weekend !

The House At Night

Here’s a picture of my house at night. I think it’s a pretty cool picture. I think it’s the first time I took a picture of the house at night.

I don’t remember the circumstances or why I took this picture, probably because Lenny was sitting there.

Have an overly fantastic Wednesday !

Burning Incense

I burn incense fairly regularly. Last night I had some going and wasn’t really thinking about it much. But then I went out on the porch and immediately could smell it quite strongly.

I thought “Hmmm, isn’t that odd, I smell it when I leave the scent.”

Either I take it for granted and only notice when it’s gone, or, being in it means I cannot detect it.

Both views are applicable to life in many different situations.

I know when I walk in the door from work this afternoon, I’ll smell last night’s incense and maybe it will prompt me to light some more.

Have a good day and try not to take the ordinary goodness for granted.

AC Monday

Right before last, sleeping was a little warm. Last night, I turned on the AC. The breeze is supposed to pick up again today, but the no AC time of year is approaching an end and the high electric bill time of year is getting ready to begin. Oh well.

This weekend was “different”. I worked Saturday, partly because I volunteered. We had a guy here working on one of our satellite systems. I would have missed my Saturday morning Camana Bay yoga but it was cancelled due to smoke from a dump fire.

Sunday, , I got up at 3:45 and took the satellite system tech to the airport (again, I volunteered) and then had a drywall guy come over to fix my ceiling in the kitchen..

I would have missed Sunday morning beach yoga, put the teacher wasn’t feeling well and the class was canceled.

Today’s post could have been entitled”No Yoga Missed”.

Now I’m getting ready to head into work for what I think, for some strange reason, will be a pretty good day..

I hope you have a pretty good day too and a fantastic week!

Living In The Pacific Garage Patch

This is a very interesting article I read about life living in the Pacific Garage Patch It seems like it’s almost an island now.

Read the article HERE .I thought it was a really good read.

I was walking into the hardware store day before yesterday, and in the parking lot I received a complaint about my dirty car. Pretty shocking isn’t it? So I had it washed yesterday. It looks very nice. I’ll have to keep it clean from now on. I also purchased a new floor mats which I like quite well.

Actually,, I just bumped into a friend of mine who worked at the hardware store who said my car looked kind of dirty.. has been meaning to wash it for quite some time. I actually bought the sponges so that I could wash it myself, but as you can guess, haven’t to use them.

incidentially, since I washed my car, it made it rain last night…

Have a happy Thursday!

Gravel In The Driveway

There’s gravel in my driveway. Last week I slept it away and it’s back. Call Sherlock Holmes.

1700 days in a row on Duolingo today. Todavía no puedo hablar español.

I went to the dentist yesterday for a cleaning. My teeth were cleaned by Elizabeth of Borg. She let me wear cool sunglasses too.

My share of the dental bill was $2.09. I had to give them $3 and they apply the rest to my account. I suppose bill collectors would come get my ass if they had given me the nine cents…..

Happy Hump Day!

Mild Improvement

At the bottom of the picture is the latest image of my macular, taken yesterday. The ophthalmologist says it is an improvement. Normally would be a gentle dent there instead of a valley. I think the thing to notice is at the bottom of the valley is thicker to the bottom of the macular.

shifting day by day, sometimes I think my eye’s getting better one day and not getting better than next. I feel good though. It takes up to a year.

have a happy Tuesday!

40 Years

I’ve had my American Express card for 40 years this years. It has been my only card since I chopped up all the others in the 1990’s.

We’ve had our problems but for the most part they’re great. The bad part is their worthless automated telephone answering system. But once you get through to the human everything is handled perfectly.

Here’s to 40 more years!

It was a good weekend . Seemed nice and long. Now it’s back to work!

Have a great week!

90 Days

In approximately 90 days, I intend to retire.

i.plan on reminding my workplace of this today. Not sure how I’ll do it, it will be an email, but to who? My boss? HR department?

Today is a big day for me!
