    Monday, May 23rd 2022 Okay, I know what time it is and I know you’re just about ready to go to work or you are on your way. You are like a rock. However, this is one of those Mondays where all I’m doing is watching the clock tick. Enjoy your day in the office… Continue reading

    Sunday, May 22nd, 2022. Week number 20 Good morning. It’s a little after 3:00 in the morning and I guess I’m done sleeping. Yesterday was a fine day off except for the mosquitoes. I wouldn’t say that I was tortured by them but there were a few aggravating moments where I just wanted to stop… Continue reading

    Friday, May 20th 2022 I am sitting in my ex-partner’s kitchen eating peanuts, veggies, black bread and drinking some Ivan Chai tea. Salty roasted peanuts are becoming an addiction for me. I know they are not very healthy for me. I don’t have a peanut allergy but they are very fatty and salty and when… Continue reading

    Thursday, May 19th 2022 It’s 6:45 and I’m in the kitchen letting the gas burn a little bit. It’s cold. I haven’t made a fire in a while and I stopped drinking coffee. I guess I could make a cup of tea or something like that. I went to bed very early last night. I… Continue reading

    Tuesday, May 17th 2022 It’s 3:30 a.m. and I’m not complaining about being awake. I went to bed early and it’s not unusual that I only need this many hours of sleep. I checked in with the war and I found that Mariupol has fallen to the russians. The words in the news articles are… Continue reading

    Monday, May 16th 2022 It’s 3:20 in the morning. We don’t really have white nights here. I am a little bit too far south for that. We also don’t get the Aurora Borealis. We used to get pickles but now there’s climate change so I’m not sure. But it seems as though it never really… Continue reading

    Sunday, May 15th, 2022. Week number 19 Good morning. It’s about a quarter to 7:00 and I’m in the kitchen sipping on some chocolate coffee. I had black bread with sunflower oil with some mildly cooked cabbage for breakfast. I know this is not the breakfast of champions but I was told that the well… Continue reading

    Friday, May 13th 2022 Yeah, that’s right. Friday the 13th. That’s as ominous as It gets. Here’s another intercepted communication from the war in Ukraine. It seems that the Russians are waiting for help from the belarusians. And it also seems that they do not believe Putin to have the mental acuity to pull off… Continue reading

    Thursday, May 12th 2022 It’s a quarter to 8:00 and I’m sitting out in front of my house watching the sun come up. Yesterday was incredibly warm. Too warm. Technically, it was in the twenties which translates to the 70s in Fahrenheit but to me, it felt like a sultry August afternoon. Very warm. Almost… Continue reading

    Wednesday, May 10th 2022 When you need water, you need water. When you’re a bicyclist, you are a bicyclist. My favorite part was when he passed the mountain biker. Brilliant. *** Back in reality, and it really is very weird to think about this, but for a country to join the European Union, they have… Continue reading
