Down time.

"Time has escaped me without much definition between the days."

I love this quote from 15 years ago! Early pandemic I heard this exact sentiment so many times from so many of our customers. People were home alone doing the exact same thing everyday or doing nothing at all. For me early pandemic meant working from home (like always), but homeschooling and lots of other random stressors thrown in there. I didn't have any trouble remembering which day of the week it was. I loved that my social calendar was wiped clean! I had more time to do a lot of things I really wanted to do (like go for a walk everyday). 

I am sure that I didn't properly appreciate 15 years ago this feeling of having time. Time to exercise. Time to rest. Time to let thoughts wander. Oh and quiet! My life was so much quieter then. I miss the quiet. Of course in another 15 years I bet I will even miss the noise of little children arguing.

Yesterday I stole a few moments and popped out to the now updated Waterman Pier.

Time has escaped me without much definition between the days. I am going to pretend that my bike is ready to go on the ride of its life. I put the tire liners in and added the kick-stand. Rode out to Port Waterman. I didn't actually know there was a Port Waterman on Beach drive. But there it was nonetheless. It probably used to be where they put the mine field or the torpedo test site. The windmill cyclist is quite entertaining but I didn't get a picture.
