Still Not Bored
Well, here it is, Wednesday. I’ve been home for about 6 days. In the house. Not going anywhere. Not really DOing anything. And I’m not even bored out of my skull.
Today I wrote a thank-you note and started the hospital survey questionnaire (I’ll finish it in a minute), unpacked and organized the vitamin shipment, read another issue of Caribbean Travel and Life in search of future island destinations (found Montserrat and Bonaire to be VERY interesting), emptied the bathroom and kitchen trash and garbage cans and I still have more to do (and of course, there’s TONS of stuff I WISH I could do. Like sweep and clean the dog puke off the front porch, pooper scoop front and back yards and weed-whack that little yard). But for now I’ll be content with finishing up the few miniscule tasks that I can do.
It’s so different from last week when I was in and out of sleep for the first two days. Just staring out the window at the clouds and making pictures out of them. There were clown clouds and dog clouds (of course) and even a waltzing couple floated by our window. It’s also nice to be able to watch the birds. The hummingbirds are cool when they stop atop a vertical branch of a mango or neem. And last week, Michael and I watched a Kestrel who was perched on top of a telephone pole soar over to our gutter, grab something from it and return to his/her pole. S/he proceeded to tear whatever prize into shreds and devour it. Today the cloud cover is thick and gloomy. There is occasional thunder and lightening, but no rain as yet. I guess the 80% chance was for other parts of the island….
Let’s see, I can read more of what I missed in last night’s book episode. I can start on our business plan. I can play word games, read more C T & L. Oooooh, and I can listen to another Spanish CD. Osmosis Amoebas!
