Domestic jungle book.
Сегодня во дворе какой-то jungle book. Выхожу из дома и на траве сидит заяц, с наглым выражением лица ест свеже выращенную зелёную травку, смотрит глазищами с вопросом “Что пришёл? Не видишь у меня вечерняя трапеза?”
Под балконом, на улице у окна, у меня стоит стол где я обожаю присесть с чашкой кофе. Две птицы мира, свили себе семейный очаг, прямо над столом под этим балконом и миротворнеем своим украсили все в радиусе 2х метров. Так что кстати, если есть суеверные которые считают что птичьи радости к деньгам и удаче, то есть шикарное место где удача от птицы мира гарантирована…
PS. На комментарий друга не завелись ли рыбы в бассейне, скажу только что рыбы нет. Но акулы и сирены иногда заплывают…

Grit, Grind, Routine. Hate It or Love It, but Execute.
I am bouncing all over the place today. Struggling to stay with the routine, stay on task, stay focused, have grit. Not just wrestling with grinding through tasks, I am in a hurricane, a force of thoughts which mashed to-do’s and feelings, and formed a sky high column of swirling utter chaos. Colorful blimps, of random “must do”, “love to do”, “should have done”, “hate every second of it” are whizzing around my head, spew out occasional muttering or a smile, while I am stuck in place.
