I'm a little under the weather today so I stayed home, nothing serious. I thought I should post something so that I don't get a lecture from.. Mr Lurker 🤭.
Hmm, what to say. It's hard not to start pouring out my thoughts regarding getting older, I mean that I did have an idea that it wouldn't be fun but I just feel beat down all the time. I have just realized that no matter how much sleep or vacation or eating healthy or exercise I get, I will never again shake the feeling that I was at an all night party, even though I wasn't. It seems that every teen idol I had is celebrating a 75th birthday and I am shocked every time. A friend's daughter said to me the other day that she and her husband can't afford a honeymoon until sometime in 2025, I laughed because in my head I was thinking ten years from now, then I realized that is next year. 😳
We were in Cuba for a week after the New Year. It was great, perfect weather, drinks, food and beach. It's my second time there. The thing about Cuba is that it's very inexpensive to go, however if you have never been there, you have to be warned about what to expect. It is a third world country under a communist government so you really have to lower your expectations. There's not a lot of choices regarding food and it's almost impossible to get anything there, the markets are mostly filled with trinkets for tourists. Unless you want alcohol or cigars, there's plenty of that. As usual I didn't get any colour, thanks to my pasty white Irish background. I will also say that most Cuban men are very handsome. If you decide to go, it's best to go with a group of people, it's more fun that way.
Thanks for all the comments on my last post, I always read every one, I seem to be having trouble responding to them individually, yay technology 🙄.

It is good to hear from you. Sorry that you are a bit under the weather. I guess it is that time of year for sickness. I hear what you are saying about aging. Just the other day I was thinking about the year 2000, like it was yesterday and then quickly realized that it was almost a quarter of a century ago! I guess the moral is to live life to the fullest. I try, but don't alway succeed.
Take care,
Michael
Wait.
You went to Cuba? Communism and all it sounds like something I'd love to hear. I've never been.
And time is a funny thing: sometimes it seems to crawl until an event (or a person) seems to just speed everything up in a dizzying way. I was listening to Closing Time, by Semisonic on the radio and I realized I knew all the lyrics, wondering why I never heard it anymore. It was in a 'classic rock' station....
XOXO
A new post within a month? It is a Christmas miracle! I'm just sorry it took you being sick to post.
I feel you about how getting old sucks, except that I don't get invited to parties so don't know what being at one would feel like. But if you are feeling run down you might want to take advantage of your socialist healthcare to get a full checkup and make sure it isn't something treatable like a vitamin deficiency.
Speaking of socialist dystopias, Cuba is such a strange country. It would be intriguing to visit. Did you go outside the pampered touristy areas?
Sorry to hear that your under the weather, hope that you feel better soon! Your trip sounds nice, glad that you had a good time. It's always nice to get away. Ageing isn't any fun and it seems were never happy. When we are young we want to be old and when we are old we want to be young. Kind of like the weather. Winter is here we wish for Summer, then Summer arrives and it's so hot out that we wish it was Winter. The thing about getting old is that it happens to everyone and it's kind of fun to look back at those teen idols and see how they look today.
Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope that your technology woes are resolved. Take care!
Cuba is on my list of places to visit. Thanks for the tips.
