Wednesday, the 15th of May 2024: “Reflection of Struggles and Possible New Strategies”!!!

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 21 degrees, warmish, sunny and slightly overcast.  It is Wednesday, the middle of the week, and a strange week. As I wrote yesterday, there are many loose ends and conflicting situations at the moment, and I don’t know what I want to do. I’m working, giving classes, and making money —not exactly what I ideally want, but […]

Wednesday, the 8th of May 2024: “Resilience and Struggle In Contemporary Brazil”!!!

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 22 degrees, hot, sunny and with blue skies.  My usual early morning routine includes exercise, writing a blog post, and journaling, then I begin classes at 11 a.m., with additional classes today until only 5:00 p.m. It’s an easy day for me, which is both good and bad. Good because I can finish early and do other […]

Friday, the 19th of April 2024: “A Rainy Day Gesture in Wordsley”!!!

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 15 degrees, sunny and slightly overcast.   I’m dealing with a cold that doesn’t seem to be getting better, and the weather isn’t helping, with short bursts of sunshine trying to pierce the clouds and showers. I’m unable to exercise because I’m suffering too much from the cold. It’s not that I don’t want to, but I […]

Thursday, the 18th of April 2024: “Curry Night at Wetherspoons”!!!

Wordsley, Stourbridge, England: 14 degrees, sunny with showers.   It is curry night at Wetherspoons. Julie likes Indian food, specifically curries, and it is curry night at every Wetherspoons in England every Thursday. Funny enough, there is no discount or special price for Thursdays, and Indian curries are offered all week round during Curry night at Wetherspoons. I woke up […]
