it feels like Monday but it’s Thursday. I was off a lot of last week (this week) and I’m off a lot next week. I’m getting the days mixed up.
Today one of my first cousins and his wife arrive. I’m looking forward to a week as a tourist
This.morning i have to finish cleaning the apartment. All that’s left is the floor.
Have a great day!
Friday afternoon, I took half the day off work, mowed my yard. I was super glad to get that out of the way.! Friday night, went to the 1 year anniversary dinner of One Heart. It was great! Best time and company I’ve had in years.
Saturday, i took my tennant who was renting the downstairs apartment to the airport and began cleaning up for the next renter. Wanna come visit? Now is the time!
also Saturday, at about 13:16:40 hours, I passed the milestone of one billion seconds clean and sober. That’s about 31 years 8 months.
Sunday, nobody was diving, so I signed up for a 7AM class. I thought it would be crowded, but it was nobody but me and the instructor, and I again enjoyed wonderful company along with quite a workout. In the future, I figure I can make that 0700 class and still make it to a 0900 shore dive…. Beats trying to make a noon class after the dive and missing lunch with the dive crew…
I needed to tidy up a little around the house, and around noon Sunday, decided I needed some bookends. So, on a whim, I made some. More like a mini shelf, really. The ends can slide along the bottom board, making it adjustable.
I gotta say, for less than an hours work, it came out pretty good. I’ve had this old scrap piece of hardwood for years and years and it was perfect for this project. I could have spent infinitely more time on it and made it all fancy, but I got it working and left it there, I like it. It’s rude and crude, just like me.
Sunday, later in the afternoon, I went to a birthday party where there was entirely too much food.
Now it’s Monday again, back to work. 🙁
My favorite song lately is Not Now John on The Final Cut by Pink Floyd. I remember when this came out, a long time ago. I dismissed it then as they were past their prime, but I remember that song in particular.
I don’t know who John is and don’t care what the words mean, I like the music. The music being the sound of the instruments combined with the vocals. There’s all kinds of references in there.
i have a tennant in the apartment for 10 days. It’s good to have it in use. The AC wouldn’t start though, and I had to call a repairman. Goodbye rent money. It’s alright though. I like seeing the lights on when I get back from walking the dogs.
Have a good day!
My visitors leave today, I am quite sad about it. It was a very short trip.
Yesterday was so rainy, we could barely make it outside. But we had a two meal day consisting of a late big breakfast and and a late big lunch.
The highlight of the trip, I suppose, was Jessika taking the intro to scuba class at Don Fosters.
I am so sad to see them go. My life is forever enriched, seeing Jessika again. She was born (with her twin sister, Veronika) on the day I got out of the Navy. I wish they were my daughters.
Tomorrow it’s back to work for me. This morning my weigh in was 163.8, pounds an alarming new record low weight.
Have a great week!
My mother and sister arrived yesterday. They seem to like the apartment pretty well. My mother said it was much larger than she expected
I’m taking the day off work today. Nothing special planned. It rained a little on my morning dog walk.
In the news, Russia says it is looking for a diplomatic solution. The west seems to be ignoring this and threatening sanctions. Options are: make Ukraine a netural country, or do not let them jioin NATO. Ukraine joining NATO is understandiblly not an option for Russia.
Today is the ex wifes birthday. Happy Birthday ex wife!
i have been doing Duolingo for 186 days in a row. This morning I ran out of hearts and couldn’t complete the lesson. The audio I was to translate was unintelligible. And other petty keeerap!
i try to get perfect scores on Duolingo. It’s not that hard. But I think they make it hard to try and make.people pay.
Poor quality drives away customers, not attract it. Online business seems to think that if they promise a product, then fail to deliver and ask for money to do what they already said thy were going to do, the people will just throw money at them. No, I will go to someone who tells me what it costs upfront.
anyway, I’m all bent out of shape over something that is really nothing. I’ll have more hearts this afternoon and complete my lesson.
thank you for listening to me vent.
Today I have a renter arriving to stay in the apartment for about a week. After that my mom and sister come. I think I have at least one booking in March already too!
Have a good day!
I went to movie night last night with a friend. I didn’t really like real movie, Four Weddings and a Funeral. But it’s always nice to be on the beach.
Have a good weekend! I’m diving tomorrow, Have a quarantiner moving in today. I have plenty of projects to do around the house and yard. Should be a good busy weekend!
My fourth quarantiner moved in last night. His flight was supposed to arrive at 2PM but was delayed due to thunderstorms here and Miami. I rekkon he showed up at about 8 or 8:30.
A friend of mine, his marriage is breaking up too, called about the apartment, and came over and looked. He’s looking for more long term, but I told him it’s a good place to stay while he finds a place to stay.
Long time marriages breaking up… Must be something in the air.
Have a fabulous day!
I’ve been meaning to attend this for quite some time, maybe today is the day. There’s a different farmers market near where I work everyday, but it’s only full and busy on weekends. This once a week might be really good.
Got a letter yesterday from the power company, they want to put a-pole in next to an existing pole in my yard. The new pole ewill have 2 anchors in my yard. I guess it’s gonna be no big deal but I’m meeting the person from the power company this afternoon. I just hope they don’t recommend offense. They insure me they won’t.
I have a quarantiner moving into the apartment this morning, It’s only 5 days now people come on down! I have somebody else interested in renting it as soon as they move out on a month by month, basically looking for somewhere to stay while they find somewhere to stay. Then I’m expecting visitors in October!
For some reason I’m running quite late today, My exercise took longer than normal I think. And the dogs and I had the maximum length morning walk.
The weather app calls for thunderstorms today but right now it is perfectly clear. Scooter or motorcycle? The great daily dilemma.
Have a good day!
There’s not much going on, the rain continues.
Below is a joke that been telling everyone the past couple days, I think it’s quite good. Hilarious in fact
Yesterday my short term renter moved out of the apartment and I will be trying to find a new short term renter. Now’s a good time to come visit the Cayman Islands. The apartment is an approved quarantine area, so come on down! 5 days quarantine if you’re vaccinated, 15 if you’re not. Click here to see.
Have a super good day!
