Terror

Laying at night
Need sleep
Freezing sweat
Fear
“Who will I call when I die?”
No one.
Need sleep.
Guided meditation
Count 6 in, count 6 out.
I can’t hear the message because I’m counting.
I can’t count when I’m listening.
The meditation is over.
I missed it.
Back to terror
Need sleep

No More Pennies

I just found out yesterday that the US quit minting that one cent coin, sometimes called the penny.

Im sure there’s plenty of them out there. I remember once I had a 5 gallon glass water cooler bottle that I threw pennies in. It was durn near impossible to get rid of. It only had a few inches in the bottom, but man o man, it was a nuisance..my mom ended up putting them into rolls.

If a penny cost 3 cents to make, how much does it cost to make a dollar bill? Same price as $100 bill. Probably 50 for a penny….

The crappy weather continues.

Have a great day!

The Wind Continues

Its been very windy here for a few days. The only swim I swam this week or last, was the sea swim.Im missing the swimming in my daily routine, both morning and lunchtime.

I love these weather maps best. You can see the front further to the south than I expected. Hopefully that means the front will be weakening and calming down wind-wise here.

And that’s your Cayman Weather!

Have a GREAT day!

800 Meter Harbor Sea Swim

Yesterday was the Pirates Week 800 Meter Harbor Sea Swim. It was AA fairly rough swim as far as swims go. There were little choppy waves coming from behind, making it hard to see ahead and breathe. And the buoy course markers were skewed, so you couldn’t really see the next one. Especially the finish, it was tucked way back into a Cove and I couldn’t see it until I was there. The safety kayakers were pointing the way.

I was very tired at the end. But, I won a little toy action camera in the raffle!

Tofay, maybe as a continuation of yesterday’s weather, is like a little mini hurricane. Very strong winds all night stuff blown around on the back porch.

Theres a cold front, hovering over is , drifting back and forth… I wonder if it might turn into a system as it drifts away.

Yesterday was the holiday I understand today is the holiday in the US.

Have a great week!

“Considerable Degeneration”

in the last 6 weeks, my vision has gotten “considerably worse”.

in addition too wet macular degeneration and glaucoma and cataracts and upper retinal membrane I now have a macular hole. Normally there’s a little dent in the retina, mine is a hole now.

so I’m looking at a trip to Miami where they scrape the upper retinal membrane off, and then they inject a gas into the eyeball to create pressure that somehow can help cure the hole.

Since they inject a gas, it creates pressure. Since there’s pressure, I won’t be able to fly for 6 weeks after the operation.

in the image above, normal is on the bottom mine looks like b or c but much more messy. Jagged edges and rough looking.. Mine looks like broken, disintegrating plastic.

Maybe I’ll take a cruise ship from the Miami back to Grand Cayman..

Have a great weekend !

Meditation

Yesterday afternoon I had a one-on-one position with my original meditation teacher. I have another in 2 weeks.

they will always looking for ways to improve my meditation practice. I haven’t missed my daily meditation for 1,291 days.

Westerners, Americans Canadians Europeans English speakers basically I think, all learn to pray. We used to pray at school, (I don’t think they do so much anymore.) but kids are taught to pray and Sunday School, Church and in several other ways. Little win or any kids talk to meditate? Nobody ever taught me how to meditate,

I have discovered meditation is very very important for my well being and probably yours too, although you may not know it.

Give it a try, commit 5 minutes a day for 30 days.. Just sit quietly and try to meditate. Trying to meditate is meditating. There’s also many good books and articles written on the subject. YouTube videos…..

Give it a shot!

The Vegetarian At Work

Theres a new person at work who is a vegetarian. One thing that strikes me is how much he has to eat. He brings huge meals from home and is very serious about eating them. I say serious, I mean, not like someone is eating, an attitude more.like someone who is exercising. Seriously focused on getting the job done.

Many months ago, I was going to try vegetarianism for one week. I went to the grocery store and couldn’t find tofu. (No way was I going to ask where it was). So I decided the universe was telling me O didn’t want to be a vegetarian.

I deduce from watching, I can eat 100 grams of non vegetarian food, and get the value of 1000 grams of vegetarian food.

It doesn’t seem worth it. My co worker really actk like it’s a chore to consume these huge meals.

I think I got the correct message from the universe!

Boox Color Note 4C

I purchased one of these the last time I was in the us. I have not been impressed and not been using it. I really like my Kindle scribe and have considered the boox to be inferior.

however I’ve decided to use it exclusively for the month of november.. I’m getting used to it. It has its.differences

I had a really good, busy weekend.

Saturday I went to two yoga classes and the above meditation/breathwork class. It was a very good day.

Sunday was a relaxing day with beach and naps.

Now it’s Monday and in just not feeling it… Bah humbug

Have a great day!

Damn Chickens!

I’ve always tried to feed the cats in the dark, or else I have to sit there and guard them from the chickens, you steal their food. Now it seems the chickens are living on the front porch. I walked out yesterday and they didn’t even run away, they stand there hopefully like “are you going to feed us now?”

Two of my neighbors feed the chickens. It’s slightly illegal. I find it very annoying as there are literally dozens of chickens in my yard. They drink the cat’s water and make a mess all over the porch. I think they actually stand in the water bowl and poop in the very water they’re drinking. Chickens are dirtier than pigs.

I’m considering getting a cage, trapping chickens, and haul them away to the other side of the island and let them go.

I know some of the chickens are like pets to the neighbors kids, high school age kids who should know what’s going on. I don’t know which chickens are which, and I don’t care. Sorry.

Happy Halloween!
