Weekly rewind #3
It is not that we have a short space of time, but that we waste much of it. Life is long enough, and it has been given in sufficiently generous measure to allow the accomplishment of the very greatest things if the whole of it is well invested.
Time flies when you are doing what you love...
Weekly rewind
🗓️ My vacation time is almost over, and it makes me a little sad. I love spending time with the kids, finding things to do, or simply doing nothing. I’ll miss this freedom…
🛹 Wanda and Pietro took skating classes for free. It was interesting to see them working through frustrations and limitations they had due to their lack of training. And even more interesting seeing them happy after all the effort and small wins.
🏥 My toe hurt the whole week and I could barely walk in sneakers. I really wanted to star the year walking, running and exercising but life had other plans...
⛩️ I went to what would be considered Chinatown with Wanda and Pietro and bought some Pokémon toys. It used to be a Japanese neighborhood, but now you can find Chinese, Japanese, and Korean shops. If you love manga, anime, doramas, Asian food, or Asian culture, this is your place. Next month is Chinese New Year, so we’ll be back to celebrate the beginning of the Year of the Fire Horse.
Watching
📺 We are finishing Person of Interest, only six episodes left before the series finale. This show was really ahead of its time. We're still watching Hilda with Wanda and Pietro.
Reading/Listening
📚 I've borrowed -for the third time- a book about Anton Makarenko's pedagogical projects in the USSR. It amazes me how one person could accomplish so much within such a restrictive environment. If you’re curious, you can find more about him under the title "Makerenko, his life and work".
🎧 Shakira Anniversary "Pies descalzos" and "Fijación Oral" available here, maybe the last two real Shakira's albums before her full anglicization. No critics, she's still the best. But I really missed her rock-ish style.
Fitness log
🛋️ I'm still doing nothing because of my broken toe. Tomorrow I'll go to see a doctor because I don't feel it is getting any better.
