I found evidence of a leak in my roof. Same place it leaked before, more than a decade ago. In this day and age of people losing everything on 10 feet deep flooding and getting blown away by hurricanes, I think I’ll be able to handle it alright.
Saturday I told myself I was going to mow the front yard, only the front yard, I’m not mowing the back till Sunday. I ended up mowing the whole thing. Then Sunday, I went to a 90 minute yoga class taught by my meditation instructor, then went and had a nice breakfast.
I made it home in the early afternoon and finished my book and lazed around, took a nap, etc. All the while berating myself for wasting my weekend, wasting my life and accomplishing nothing. If I’d saved the back yard for Sunday, I would have had a feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction for a job well done, time well spent, a life well lived.
I treat myself worse than I treat anybody else. And nobody is crueler in words and opinion than I am of myself…. It has been pointed out to me before, sometimes I can see it but most the time I can’t.
I had a really nice day yesterday with my visitors. It started off rainy, but the weather cooperated and it turned into a really nice day.
I do have some bad news for you though.
They moved International Taco Day and we missed it this year. Although it will be nice in the future to always have an International Taco Tuesday, that really doesn’t help us today .
We were not properly informed and drastic action may seem necessary, but after a night of reflection, I urge you to find peaceful acceptance within yourselves. Yes,we were seriously wronged, but we can survive.
Last night I went on a little one mile bike ride. I forgot to turn the ride off on my watch. I didn’t notice till this morning. So it recorded me as being on a bike ride all night
Since the watch was in ride mode,which o am not particularly interested in,it didn’t record my sleep, which I am particularly interested in.
This morning , near the beach there was what looked like a rabbit. It was totally dark, and my camera had about a 10 second exposure time on the photos. Not to mention an excited dog pulling on the leash, destabilizing the picture process.
It didn’t seem afraid of us, in fact I almost stepped on it about the same time I saw it.
It’s s Friday but I’m not feeling it. I’m paying over $300 for a spare key for the new car. The money is flowing out and I’m trying to apply the brakes but it doesn’t seem to be working.
It finally quit raining. There was enough blue in the sky this morning to make a fat man a pair of pants, (my navy friend Dave always said that) So hopefully Hurricane Helene is gone from Cayman. Not that Helene was ever really here.
I feel for those in Florida and the US where Helene’s going to hit..It’s a very big, very strong storm. Evacuate if you can and good luck to you.
Tha Cayman Islands is still in the hurricane spiral, even though the current storm, Helene, isn’t a hurricane and isn’t close to us.
Hurricane Beryl went by as a category 5 hurricane and Cayman hardly felt any effects at all. Tropical storm Helene wasn’t yet a named storm, wasn’t very close, and has been moving away since it began and we’re still getting howling wind and driving rain from it.
You never can tell what’s going on with the storms these days.
I’m headed back to work this morning, still stormy, screamingly windy and raining, probably worse than yesterday. I’m glad, yesterday was boring, depressing and lonely. I didn’t leave the house, except for the dog walks.
