Like A Teapot

"Enlightened or not, it is all the very same. Have a cup of tea! "

New existence

I am happy that my troublesome sleep patten is reversed. I am now getting up early and feeling real good. I hope that it will last.

Today I woke up to a gorgeous sunny day, the second one in a week. It is going to be hot in the car like yesterday, so I am wearing a light, airy short-sleeves and one of my new shorts. I made the mistake of wearing a long-sleeves yesterday and boy was it hot in my friend's car. I felt ill on my way home.

I took a silly on-line psychic test earlier while browsing in bed. It says that my resolutions for next year should be "save money and take a trip". I am going to do just that, in the remaining months of the year.

I need a new passport. It is due to procrastination that I did not submit an application earlier in the year - in order to avoid the predictable long queue that usually emerges in spring when everyone is preparing documentation for summer travel. As it turns out, I am lucky as a result of my tardiness. As reported in this week's news, a chunk of Canada Post mails containing passport applications were stolen while on route to a federal processing facility. Two problems resulted or may result for the unlucky folks: no passports for planned travel and identity theft. I am just glad that I am not plagued by such major headaches.

I'll bet your new exercise regime has something to do with leveling your sleep patterns. I could be wrong, but exercise works a host of wonders. :smile:

Travel sounds fun. Do you have a destination in mind?

Congratulations on a successful procrastination. As if it is not already its own reward! :lol:

:lol:
As usual, and typical of me, I have a whole bunch of travel destinations in mind. Some don't require a passport; some do. And yes, I think you are right about exercise.

This is shaping up to be quite a trip, then :lol:

Good luck in selecting a destination. Do you plan to include biking as a way to make a selection? Some places we have stayed have bikes to rent so guests can get exercise and enjoy the sites.

I never thought of that before I got my mountain bike. But I would consider that now, especially with points of interest inside Canada.

Used to be, a man with a canoe and pack, or a bike and pack, could flag a Canadian train almost anywhere in the wild country, board, and get off where he wanted. Now, that's traveling!

It really bugs me that we now need passports to go between our two countries. Anyone with evil intent isn't going to cross at a port of entry, anyway. Maybe they should teach the bears and moose to ask for passports.
