My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • Well, it is time for a fur ball update! They are doing well and enjoying life. ​ Pippi has somehow become addicted to chasing around the reflection of our devices in the sunny spots of our apartment. She gets her exercise this way now and even has started to chase shadows…. No one said she was the smart one…. ​ Pippi’s favorite thing to do at night when we are watching TV is…

  • Opposites attract. It is a proven magnetic truth. We need opposites to be whole. Yin-Yang have pieces of each other, but also make a circle of unity in their differences. This is also me and my husband. I adore his silliness and optimism towards life. Although we share many qualities, we are definitely opposites in many ways. One of these areas is my need and desire for consistency, decisions and purposeful proactive actions…

  • _The Power of Habit_ by Charles Duhigg  I believe I started this book some time ago and then got distracted from it due to Book Club, life etc. My completion rate of books seems fairly dependent on either my holidays or time on the treadmill. 🤣 Since I have had no holidays for over a year ☹️, it is my habit of heading to the gym that is getting me back on the reading…

  • Yesterday, I was busy and out from 7:30am until 7pm. You can imagine how exhausted I was after doing 6 hours of Apple Training with a short hour in between, then straight to a Japanese lesson in the evening.😓 I did not have a moment to myself aside from a bathroom break until I got into the bath once home. Thank goodness I had stored up some energy and properly planned my week…

  • Well, this week was sadly very spotty in my workouts. I blame it on my Aunt Flo visit, and also the instability of my life lately. However, I vow to get back to it properly next week! Jan 15 (Sunday) 💪🏽 5′ elliptical warmup 4’21” 20/20/20 20 3kg bar squats 3 10″ arm hangs 25 2kg tricep curls 30 30kg total abdominal x2 20:10″:20 1.25kg ab crunch x2 25 25kg low row 15…

  • I missed writing yesterday because I was catching up on the day after a shock to my system on Wednesday. I am still trying to work out what the universe and God are trying to teach, tell and show me. At the moment, I am not fully appreciating whatever it is or may be. 😒 A while ago M mentioned that there is a chance my visa will have to be cancelled because…

  • _Mornings in Jenin_ by Susan Abulhawa  This month’s Book Club reading was this one, which I had never heard of nor of the author. Seriously, there are so many stories to be heard and read! 😅 Having just finished this book a few moments ago, I am still processing the whole story and trying to recall the 80’s when some bits of this story would have been in my lifetime…. The book is…

  • I cannot recall if I have already written about this topic recently as I know I have talked about it and written in my journal…. Honestly, age is hitting me, I think. It seems I am forgetting things more and more, even while I am talking words escape me so that I sound even dumber than I really am…. 🙁 Anyway, if I have written on this, feel free to comment and tell…

  • To say I am addicted to this podcast might be an understatement. I love ❤️ this podcast so much.  I cannot recall how I heard about it but most likely this was another Paleomg recommendation from her lists. When I heard the very first episode I was not sure about it as it was extremely difficult for me to follow who was speaking and their extremely random tangents of conversations. However, it only…

  • Well, after a focused week of posting last week on goals for the year based on my NYRs, I suppose I should update on a few discussions we had last week. *It is looking more and more as if we will be leaving sooner than later from the desert. Our destination is still in negotiations depending on M’s prospects, but the Philippines has taken lead recently. We will continue to wait for more concrete…
