Today I’m taking the wife to work with me. She needs a ride to the airport, and I work at the airport. How convienent! She’s going to San Diego for a work related conference.
Today Prince Charles, Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall arrive in Cayman for a visit and, among other things, to open the new airport.
Traffic will be horrendous. It would be a good day to scooter, but can’t. But… TOMORROW IS A SPECIAL PRINCE HOLIDAY!! Looking forward to it. Thanks Your Majesty!
Today our new boss starts. I was quite liking the old boss, so I hope I like the new boss. The old boss says I’ll like the new boss, so I can only assume it’s true. The old boss was temporary, from the beginning. The Who have a son with the line “Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss”. I hope it’s true.
Tomorrow the Wife goes to San Diego on a business trip. As soon as she gets back, it will be time to start getting ready for COSTA RICA!!!! I haven’t been in about two (or three) years, so I’m super-excited.
happy monday y’all. Not quite as perky as “Happy Friday Y’all!“, not perky at all.
Is the above fake news? How come this isn’t all over the big media? I read the article, and it seems to say there probably is life on Mars, but the headline indicates “Look, here’s a picture of fungi on Mars”. I’ll have to really peruse the article, as of right now, it’s merely fodder for my blog.
It was a somewhat productive weekend. I installed a shelf over the door of my workshop/storeroom. Fixed a major drywall problem in the bedroom.
Also I added a new page to this blog, Ratings. Restaurant reviews and tourist attractions and my opinions of places. So far, it’s just screenshots from my TripAdvisor account. Still under construction, but viewable.
Last night I went to bed early, slept well, and I’m still exhausted this morning. The weather is indeterminate, I don’t know whether to take the van or the scooter. “When in doubt, van it out”, I always say.
Happy Friday! A weird thing happened on my keyboard yesterday. The “ and the @ switched places. Yup, press shift and 2 and you get “ and press shift and ‘ and you get @. Anybody ever heard of that? There’s nothing on the internet about it.
Here it’s clear, and windy. And cold! I’m wearing a jacket. I rekkon I’ll ride the scooter this morning, but thinking about the van because of the comfort feature. But thinking about the discomfort of the heavy traffic on the ride home, makes me indecisive. I won’t know till I pick up my keys on the way out. (I have a separate keyring for my scooter.)
I’m glad it’s Friday. I have outdoor projects planned unless it rains, (which it might) and an indoor project if it does.
Now I’m at work. I was typing this and all of a sudden, my “go to work” alarm went off, surprising me. Time certainly is flying!
This month, a WhatsApp group of us have been having a photo challenge. Submit a pic a day with the above topic. It’s been pretty fun. Here’s my pic for today, “Happy Place”.
My back porch, in the sun.
I like this picture. I would have (obviously) taken a pic of the beach, or the sea, but I like the shadow of the slats of the chair.
Cloudy here, very windy. Cold front moved through last night.
It’s Thursday. Been a quick week, which is good. Tomorrows payday!
Tomorrow is the equinox. One of the two “Hump Days” of the earth. The sun moves into the northern hemisphere sometime today or tomorrow. Start of the longer days, warmer waters. (Here in the summer, the water temp is about 86 degrees F, but in the winter, it plummets to 82 F! Brrrr!)
Yesterday, I received my building permit for the downstairs addition on the house. Hopefully, and quite probably construction will take less time than getting the permit! Hopefully, it costs less too!
Looking back over the past few days, my posts seem pretty negative to me. Not really an accurate depiction f how I generally feel throughout the day. Overall, I know my life is fantastic.
Today, is another dentists appointment, to finish a root canal started last time. Then pull my broken tooth, and get ready for the implant. And two caps. I should be in tip-top shape after that! Hopefully, home additionn construction costs less than all my recent dental work! Ha Ha!
Yesterday, my post indicated that I wasn’t in a good mood, but I failed to describe why.
I used to run and swim every morning. Now I just walk the dogs. I really liked running and swimming. I used to stop on the way home from work every day, and swim the half mile. Then I started having to have to come home in hopes dogs haven’t peed all over the place.
How did I get shenaggled into this? I can’t tell you the last time I set foot on Seven Mile Beach. I still go to the beach at lunchtime, but it’s only an hour.
It’s nobody’s fault but mine. It’s like I just quit, and am blaming others.
I used to dive every weekend, sometimes after work. When’s the last time I posted an underwater photo here?
My brain is floating in a teacup filled with clear water. There’s a tiny littlee pump and a tiny little filter that slowly circulates the water and cleans it.
When I get angry, it’s like someone threw a teabag in the teacup, and the water gets all brown.
Brown water = anger.
Even when the source of the anger goes away, (someone takes the teabag out of the teacup), I stay angry for a while, because it takes a while for the tiny pump and tiny filter to clean the tea-water until it’s clear again.
My theory is that anger is just some chemical squirted out by the brain.
What’s really distrubing, is that this morning, I did an image search for “Human brain floating in a teacup” and got no results.
Well, the last 12 hours have not been good for New Zealand. Mass shooting. I’m at a loss for words, I have all kinds of thoughts, across a broad spectrum, usually followed by “Is that how I feel? That’s not right.” Then I think something on the other end of the spectrum followed by “Is that how I feel? That’s not now I feel either.”
I don’t care what someone’s religion is, as long as they don’t fuck with other people. But if they fuck with other people, they need to be dealt with. I doubt the people in those Mosques were messing with anyone.
I’ve always thought I had prejudice concerning people from India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Maldives and that general area. I seem I like them all. I like the way they talk, and I like the way they think, in that, when I’m talking to them, it’s enjoyable to me.
I never wondered if they were Hindu, Muslim, or any other religion, I have always liked them, primarily, I guess, because of their accent . I got a feeling of emotion, hearing the survivors and witnesses talking on the radio news this morning, because they sound like people I’d like.
Yesterday I set a new record for sitting in a dentist chair. 3 hours, 20 minutes. It was not pleasant. Over $1800 out of pocket. Went in for a filling and ended up with a root canal. And don’t ask me the details, I’m not going to explain it in the comments section. I knew it might not be filling-able shortly after he started. I maxxed out my health insurance long ago.
Trying to get the building permit for our room adddition. Every month, the architect calls with some new, additional fee. This month it’s $164 for EEI or IEE or some such nonsense.
I’m getting tired of it. There’s no way to check the validity of everyone’s claims.
