Two things I do on a daily basis, meditation and Duolingo. They are things like Seinfeld’s calendar with red Xs on it. At dinner time for myself, I decided to eat some leftover pizza. Heat it up in a pan, like the pan I described yesterday. We have found warming pizza in a pan is great. As I put the slice of pie I realized I had not yet done Duolingo. This is good, I thought, while the pizza warms up I will get some language lessons. It should take the same amount of time. After doing the lesson I went to the kitchen and realized I had the heat up too high. Shucks. I ate it anyway. A little carbon would not hurt anyone.
So much for that daily thing to do. As I bit off another bit of pizza I reflected on my earlier interruption for meditation. I was, at that time, trying to read Sam Harris’s book Waking Up. A half paragraph in my brain wandered off and … I caught myself I decided to meditate to get some settling down in my brain. A few minutes later I emerged from mostly watching my breath go in and out, catching myself thinking about other things, returning to in out in out in out. I could read a page or two before I drifted off into other thoughts.
112 # of 35 units. Make that #112 is the waiting line at our local library. I decided to buy the book. Stolen Focus, see yesterdays ‘s Give burned pizza and not paying attention to a book I was trying to read it seems I will need more than three weeks to read the book. And I expect I will be needing to write in the book. One does not write in books they get from the library. One should write in the ones they own. So I bought it.
