Life, Brazil and Resilience!!!
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warmish and sunny. It is late afternoon, almost evening. I have worked out, worked, had a rest, and now I am bored. Yasmin is at home doing her things; Nalva said she would arrive later than usual, so I need to do something and go somewhere. After some contemplation, I decided to walk around Flamengo, […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 26oC, warmish and sunny. As I mentioned, I typically arrive on Fridays, I prefer not to have such a packed schedule. I need time to relax and turn off after a long week of classes. Sometimes, I have to give a class to Marcelo, a top bankruptcy lawyer on a Friday evening, but luckily, I gave […]
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro: 22oC, warmish, sunny, and slightly overcast. This morning, I walked about 7 km but did not exercise. I am still feeling some effects of the cold, and returning to normal is a little tricky because I had broke my routine. However, it is essential not to stop completely. Even walking without any exercise is better than […]
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: 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: 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. […]
