It is almost 3pm and I am chipping away at my work for the afternoon.
I am down to about 30 minutes left and then my associate and I am going to hit the store and get some food for the week. This week is a holiday in the States, Memorial Day, but overseas it is just another normal afternoon as far as pretty much everyone is distraught. I am working like I do every afternoon and just listening to some fantastic meditation tunes to keep me focused while I finish up my workday so I can get to my shopping and yoga session. Then a climate controlled ride on my bike in the nice cool weather outside will be in order to get some fresh air and see a friendly face or two, then but I won’t go out until after 5pm because the sunlight is too intense here in the Mediterranean and I like to stay in air conditioned luxury till the sunlight eases off a bit, and usually by 5pm or so you can go out in the sunlight without getting burned, but in the middle of the Summer it is better to stay out of the sunlight until 6pm. The local companies stay open late in the Summer and my air con system is running full tilt to keep us cool in the flat each afternoon. So this week I will get my shopping done and yoga done and then maybe work another 30 minutes to wait for the sunlight to sink a bit more. The refrigeration in the food stores are great because they keep them entirely cool for shopping comfort.
