We spent a good portion of the day going through the stuff we accumulated over the years. How did this all happen?
While I was making curry for dinner, I looked out the French window and realized I forgot to finish setting up the solar-powered lights again today. Add to the to-do list for tomorrow..
Today the time flew by so fast. It’s already dark out before I could finish setting up the additional lights for our porch. I have purchased these solar-powered lights before our last trip. It’s a bit late but I know that if I don’t get it done now, these lights will just be sitting somewhere in the garage and be forgotten..
These days, living in a world like this, it’s getting increasingly difficult to do the right thing..
I’m a bit tired today..
(To be continued..)
On this first day of September, I went out for a run in the morning. I didn’t go to Cerro Alto Trailhead as I planned to. My companion thought that the trail condition could be messy due to yesterday’s surprise downpour. I understood he meant well and didn’t insist.
To mark a new beginning of this month, I deleted my main Pixelfed account permanently. It was only a matter of time. Plus I no longer see the point of having it anymore. So, adiós Pixelfed.
I suppose tonight is one of those nights that I can’t seem to be able to even try to look at the bright side..
Another rather quiet day in Eldorado. My companion had a PT appointment this afternoon. Afterwards we went to Java Joe’s on Rodeo Road for our usuals. The temperature wasn’t too bad today. Or perhaps we’ve gotten used to the heat.
On our way back, we made a little excursion and drove by the other house that we were interested in when we were looking for our next home. Sometimes I wonder if things would have been different if we had made a different decision..
Sometimes all it takes is observing sunset in complete silence to soothe my mind, to realize that at the end nothing else really matters..
In order to avoid the heat I went out and worked in the yard as soon as I finished my daily Españo course this morning. I filled up all the bird feeders when I noticed they were completely empty. And I saw a ground squirrel for the first time in our backyard..
It’s mundane but I don’t mind a bit. I’m quite content with a life like this..
Although today’s temperature continues to be oppressively hot, I feel light and without restraint. That invisible heavy weight has vanished. While my companion was resting in our bedroom with the AC on, I sat alone outside on the porch watching the sunset slowly turn into night. It’s so beautiful.. and my heart is full of gratitude and hope.
In order not to let the parcel exposed to the heat outside of our door, my companion wanted to wait till he had it before going out to do some planned shopping. He got a message that said it’d be delivered between 1:30 to 3:30pm. Then another message saying between 5:30 to 7:30pm. When it finally was delivered at 7:42pm, it was delivered to a wrong address..
So we wasted the whole day waiting for the parcel and never left the house.
The image was captured shortly before sunset, when I felt I could no longer stay inside although outside temperature was still around 85°F..
