Among my personal goals
We all have goals. Today, I reached one, by marking two years of second language study. Not intensively, but assiduously, I have managed to complete three exercises per day from a course of study, reaching seven hundred and thirty consecutive logins. I’m proud of myself. That was done without distraction from illness, or travel, or slow internet. And I don’t intend to stop, just yet.
Not much else to do with my time, actually. With study, writing, remembering my eye drops and eating, the days just go by. At night, I’m on call (more precisely, on paw pat), as the dog believes that my only purpose is to serve as his personal doorman between dusk and dawn. And so the idea of a full night’s sleep is just a distant memory. I don’t have to worry about marking any of those things “off” on a calendar, because every day means that the squares don’t get jumped. My personal version of hop scotch.
Right now, we’re on weather watch. Oddly, the Canadian weather service believes that things could get intense, for all locations between the MB/SK border and here. Except for here. How rare is that? I’ll be attentive all day tomorrow, trying to calculate how a storm will stop in the immediate area. Will it go beyond the predicted limits and dump on my doorstep, or… ?
Proof that we’re in a new era: a company has opened up a virtual used car lot, where you can buy real cars without the aggravation of a real sales person. Imagine the atmosphere, without a glad-handing suit at your side, talking a streak.
