Life in Brazil and Perserverence!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Sunday, and I do not want to do much today. I need time for myself and to think about everything happening in my life. It is the second day of the new semester, and this semester, I want to focus on the changes I have already made. I […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 24oC, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast. Today is the day that I will pick up my new glasses. For some reason, I am more excited about these new glasses than about others in the past. I am 57. Why should I be so excited about another new pair of glasses? The idea is to go out […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 23oC, warmish and overcast. Thank God it is Friday, even though it has been a good week. I resolved my Brazilian ID and will receive my new glasses tomorrow. I am tired and have not spent enough time developing the sites. At least I have decided my priorities for the next six months: my teeth, the […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish, sunny and slightly overcast. It is Thursday evening, and I am exhausted. Teaching so many classes from Monday to Thursday has taken a toll on me. The only relief is that tomorrow is Friday and the weekend, but Thursdays are always tough. It feels like the peak of the mountain that I have been […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hot, sunny and clear sky. It is Wednesday, the penultimate day of the month. I am still happy about resolving my Brazilian ID issue, but now I am more interested in what I will do for the next month and the second half of the year. I like the number 3 and its multiples. In […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 27oC, hot, sunny and clear sky. I am still happy after resolving the issue with my Brazilian ID at the federal police yesterday. Today, I was up early with some effects of a dying cold, but I was ready to take on the world, or at least the day and the next part of my journey. […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny and with a bright sky. Today is Monday, the start of the week, and it’s Federal Police Day for me. Unfortunately, I didn’t sleep well last night, a recurring problem. I suspect it might be due to anxiety about the upcoming week or my appointment with the federal police. I didn’t exercise today […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish, sunny and with a bright sky. It is Sunday, and it is a beautiful day, but I am still a little down with a lingering cold. The plan is to get up early, work out in the park, have coffee at the Portuguese baker’s, and then maybe walk to Urca. Urca is my church, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 25oC, hottish, sunny and with a bright sky. My intention for this Saturday is to do a heavy exercise routine even though I am still recovering from a cold and need to relax. On Monday, I have an appointment with the Federal Police and must take some documents. Yesterday, I sorted them, including which needed to […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, hottish and sunny. It is Friday, the end of the working week for most and almost the end of the month. The week has been reasonably good. I have had to choose the templates for all my sites. I have bought a new pair of glasses and am just waiting for them to be ready. […]
