My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • 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…

  • 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…
