Observations, absurdities, personal stories, comedy
We had a meeting to discuss how to reduce the number of meetings.
After an hour of discussion, we agreed that the issue required further investigation.
A working group has been formed.
Their first meeting is next Tuesday.
I have decided to mind my business. I have bills to pay. 😂
Apparently, the working group has scheduled another meeting.
My sister informed me that the jacket I wore to dinner was out of style.
I told her I bought it because I liked it.
She said that wasn’t the point.
I’m still trying to figure out what the point was, but I had a great evening, the food was excellent, and three people asked me where I got the jacket.
I’ve forwarded this information to my sister for further analysis.
Someone recently asked me why I moved back to my village after spending so many years studying, working, and traveling abroad.
I told them I like it here.
They laughed, thinking I was joking.
This morning, I sat outside with my mother, drinking tea and listening to her tell me a story I’ve heard since childhood. Except this time, she added something I had never heard before.
I asked why she’d never mentioned that part.
She looked at me and said, “You never asked.”
And there it was. Another reminder that I can travel halfway around the world looking for knowledge and still discover something new sitting outside my mother’s house.
I’ll probably be off somewhere again soon. But for now, I’m enjoying being home.
I spent twenty minutes looking at houses in the countryside today.
A big garden, fruit trees, space for vegetables. It all sounds wonderful.
Then a friend called to ask if she could come over for dinner, and I remembered why I still live in Brooklyn.
Perhaps I just need a bigger garden in Brooklyn. 😂
