February 13--Biomedical tea

I'm still going to bed early and sleeping 8 hours a night. I do feel less tired than before, but not that much less tired. I mentioned this to my coworker, and she started, "Well, when you get older...".

I'm not old!

Malida got home from her class this afternoon and wanted to go out taking pictures. This is now her routine whenever she has a day off. So we headed out to the creek trail, because it was too late to go anywhere else. The creek trail has a different feel to it in the late afternoon. There are still quite a few people out walking, but they don't say "hi" like morning people do.

Someone thinks it is already spring.

As we were walking, Malida talked about how much she liked going out and photographing things. She mentioned that once she gets better at photography, she would like to take guitar lessons. She has decided that she would rather do fun and interesting things than be rich. Which is probably a good choice. She went on, "Since I have an old husband...".

"I'm not old!" I exclaimed.

And I have no idea where she was going with that thought.

We have our first exam tomorrow, and I spent the morning setting up the test. I took it, just to make sure it worked, and got an 85%. A respectable passing score. It's all management content, which I don't teach. I always get an "A" on my own content.

After our walk I came home and bought some new music, which I am listening to now. Good stuff.

I agree entirely with Malida--doing fun and interesting things is better than being rich (though some would say being rich makes it easier to do fun and interesting things).

I wonder why morning people are more likely to say hello? Maybe something about the potential of the day being still ahead? No... I feel like I'm stretching to find a reason.

Both photos are lovely.

Ooh, the teams on the 2-hour Amazing Race tonight get to Thailand at about 57 minutes in. They are going to a park with lots of statues of elephants.

Yes! At the detour, teams had a choice of visiting the elephant preserve and measuring elephants to calculate their mass for medication and vitamin doses or going to the frog pond and catching 20 frogs.
