My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Well, it is exactly halfway through the first month of the year and I feel good still about the last bit of last year along with the start of this one, so far. Unlike some years, I do not feel a sense of starting slow or that I need to rush forward. In a way, I feel for once I am perfectly placed and in the prime state of life on every aspect…

  • Well, it’s already been nearly a week since returning home – how the time flies. Somehow, or not really a mystery, I seem to have caught a cold. Just when I was nearly better from catching whatever it was during holidays. So, I am hoping it doesn’t linger long but it has put a little kibosh on my exercise progress…. On the plus side, though, I have already dropped about 2 kg or…

  • Home after about 26 hours of travel door to door. No complaints here – it was just a long day. It’s good to be home with the animals and our things. Now, it’s all about catching up on laundry, reorganizing after having house/petsitters, and settling back into the routine. Anyway, got some things brewing that I will attempt to organize into comprehensible words and thoughts once I have a couple more days to…

  • Well, it’s hard to believe it, but we are just over 24 hours away from the end of our month-long holiday away. Our reasoning for taking time away was initially to escape the winter rains and greys that we had experienced the previous couple of years in Orvieto. Ironically, this year had a rather late summer; thus, resulting in a rather warm, sunny, and gentle winter – so far. Instead, we experienced rain…

  • It was a beautiful start to 2024 and we are looking forward to how the year unfolds after having a rather amazing 2023! We’ve started our goal-writing as a couple and are working on our individual ones, though I had already started mine back in September, but as with all things they change. So, I’m narrowing down a bit more on some things and letting others go. Since we are still on vacation…

  • Sometimes unexpected changes in plans brings about an even better experience than the one anticipated. Although we would have had a lovely time spending the holidays with my parents in the Bahamas, we would have missed out on family time with my brother, catching up with a few family and friends, and enjoying just a quiet chilled time. The past ten days have really flown by without any tension or stress that can…

  • I’m still coughing…😩 fits of it make me feel as if my entire body is shaking to pieces like an earthquake. Luckily, the body is well put together that, so far, everything seems to be staying in place. Still, my head hurts 😵‍💫 on occasion and the inability to laugh or sometimes move too much without an outburst of spittle flying through the air (TMI?) is frustrating at times. Still, I’m writing this…

  • My happy place has always been by the ocean. When I started to travel, I learned that there were warm beaches unlike the chillier one of the Oregon Coast, which I still love in many ways. Still, when given a choice, I would prefer a warm beach, blue sea, and golden sand. I’ve seen a number of beaches over the years that have come close to this ideal. But, this…this is something else.…

  • I’m still alive – a cough lingers in the chest even after almost two weeks, but not suffering. Nothing that a bit of time in the sun can’t cure in a few days. In the meantime, we are in London for a few days. Will try to update on this part of our winter travels in a few days. Until then, stay warm and healthy! ~T 🔥🐉♋️

  • Well, it has happened despite my best efforts to Jedi mind-trick or deny its existence. I am sick. I tried my best to positive energy it away and perhaps it is not as bad as past illnesses have been because of this, but there’s no denying it. I. am. sick. I hate being sick. I hate feeling less than 100 percent. I hate having limitations on my energy, activities, capacities. I hate being…
