One of these days
It’s one of these days. Even though I slept fine, had a great morning excersise walk, took my vitamins like a good girl and had some mounting adrealin gushes when thinking of what I could do all today, I’m still hanging here.
It’s a great day outside. Not humid and just perfect for a walk. Though the pond in the park smells now in some corners - too little moving water. I definitely would not want to go visit the Rainforest. Next to the critters, I’d hate the smell of rotting wood and standing water.
Decided that I could do some multi-tasking today: next to working I could scan all my old photos onto my powerbook and then finally update the section of me. First stop in the process is that the Epson Scanner Monitor software refuses to start and error’s out. It is a hell of an old software, even though the scanner is a new model. I sometimes wonder how they dare putting such ugly software onto a Mac. But this software is still better than the last I had, and the scanner is decent.
While tracking down the software installed on the desktop (maybe there is a newer version which would handle the problem, on the desktop it runs just fine), I get side-tracked reading some daily websites and blogs. A half an hour later I feel really squashed. Obviously I came accross enough words I didn’t understand to put me down like this. Since moving to the US, the times of easy reading have definitely become a thing of the past.
Now I have to again turn the day around to what it was in the beginning: a day full of promise and potential.

LOL - afterer posting I look into my sidebar and see what the weather report tells me: 69°F which is nice, but humidity: 90%. Guess my observation was not very accurate this morning - or maybe the humidity just increaded by 40% within the past 2 hours?

Gawd, I have days like that all the time. I will get up full of ideas and plans, and then get side-tracked and out of whack by late afternoon.
I know I’d get really frustrated if I had to learn a new language. Reading is like breathing for me, and I can imagine how frustrating it would be to have to start over.

Yes, language and the ability to express myself explicitedly always has been a big thing for me - it’s like painting, mixing the exact color one had in mind and achiving the exact intended effect with it - having a big vocabulary and understanding of language and describing something with the exact words - it’s a thing of beauty!
BTW.: I really like your blog - seems like one (interesting) picked subject per day. For a moment I got really thrown off, when the email notification of your comment dropped into my mailbox: marlyse is pronounce mar-leese in english, and my nieces, 7 years ago still pretty young had a hell of a time trying to pronounce it, so after repeating it for about 20 times when introducing myself to a new face of my husbands huge family, at one point I said in exasperation well, my name is mar-leese but you can call me lisa. For one reason or the other this has become a recurring joke to tease me with, thus at first not so sure from whome this comment would be :-)
