My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • 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…

  • Well, the remaining days in Japan flew by so that I ended up not taking as many photos since we were busy socializing and enjoying our time. I put together a quick montage of images in video format here, so you can have a look at the whole trip in quick images. Enjoy! ~T 🔥🐉♋️

  • We are back in Japan for a visit. It’s been just over three years since we left during the early pandemic/shutdown days. When we left, we didn’t quite know what we were doing but the timing seemed right to try to move with the freedom of online work. Turns out we rode the wave well – thank you Universe. 🙏🏽 Since it was a somewhat unplanned decision and M was still working in…

  • We love a party – yes, even me, the introvert! Although I tend to prefer smaller group gatherings for catching up with people, I do enjoy bringing people together and seeing what sort of social interactions will arise to give me food for thought. M loves a large party to play host and to flit to and fro. So, it’s a good combined activity for us to organize and put on. Luckily, it…

  • Ladies’ trip with the fabulous A.N. in Palma Majorca (Mallorca) is a wrap with wonderful memories, lots of laughs, much chit-chat, and as an overall amazing experience. First, about Palma – the Spanish capital of the Balearic island of Mallorca (Majorca in English spelling). It’s an interesting city with a mix of flavors in architect and dishes that come from European and Moorish influences. Even good ol’ Gaudi has had his hand on…

  • There is a mixed feeling of awe and sadness when I look out the window of a plane as it takes off into the air leaving behind the ground below.  The awe is amazement for the technology that makes flight possible in a big chunk of metal and a mass weighing hundreds of pounds somehow soaring in the atmosphere above.  Thanks to this technological advancement that we often take for granted in today’s…

  • It’s been a bit busy this week with final electrical work being done on the kitchen, changing of seasonal clothes around in the closet, yoga and tennis, plus preparing for my long weekend ladies’ trip to Palma Mallorca. I haven’t been to Spain for a proper visit in quite some time, so it is nice to explore a different part of the country on the Balearic Island of Majorca. Also, I love that…
