I am way behind on posting here, as
I had always promised to post at least monthly, yet I didn’t post at all in
January. I do apologize. But not much has been happening here to
report on.
We are doing well here. The Cool Season had many more “cold” days
than is usual in January, and that made taking a shower a brutal experience
– since we have never had a hot water heater in our house. The relatively colder water, plus the cool
north wind blowing through my outdoor shower, made for a shocking and
eye-opening wakeup.
Movie selections in the cinemas are
thin, and pubs (such as my home-away-from-home Rock Pub) are still closed. So, there is not much reason for venturing
far and away except to markets for specialized food items.
The toxic PM2.5 air pollution has stopped
me from long neighborhood walks. We wear
masks for Covid, but more for the air pollution. Again, it is farmers burning rice stubble and
cane that cause this pollution (with no wind to disperse the particulate matter), and the
government won’t do anything because like all politicians they are whores to populist votes - with no concern for the rights of others to be free from the dirty drifting of toxins into their private spaces.
I haven’t been using my laptop
much, because sitting at it causes great discomfort. Sitting + typing = Fibromyalgia pain. I have pain in my hips when sitting too long,
and then I’m awake with pain all night.
It is much more comfortable to read
all online content on my tablet, when I can sit, recline, stand, walk around,
or lie back in bed – and I do read, obsessively.
My physical comfort prescribes tablet
use – yet it is not easy to type on a tablet, thus my silences.
I have many, many writings in draft
– personal correspondence to family and friends, movie and book reviews, and philosophical rants. Stay tuned, for I may someday publish
them.
