St Mary Market

My cousin, Bodhisattva Harlem Mama, and her mama have been selling Jamaican products online for some time. I went through today, and was impressed with how many items were in the catalogue. Of course my daddy's sweet golden honey from his farm needs to be there and so does Imelda's line of sweet treats, but those are my marketing responsibilities. I may hate PR, but getting the word out on something I believe in, is only my pleasure.

Those who wait

After sitting without a phone for a month, and having my most isolated 4 weeks to date, I have finally been given a replacement. And it will be a BlackBerry. It is only fair because I was using my personal BB on the job when it kicked the bucket (died). Funny thing is that it is not being replaced by the job, but by the phone company itself. Those phones sell for $700 here. That's almost the price of the 105mm f/2.8 macro lens.

So good things come to those who wait huh?

I dont know what I will get but I will get it in had today.

Late nights and early mornings

I went to bed last about 4am and barely managed to eek out 3 hours of sleep. What is totally unbelievable to me is that I have been able to manage till now without a puss nap. Even went to the sukarmarket (Imelda's word for supermarket). These are more like regularmarkets though, because you end up having to go to at least 3 to get the three ingredients to cook rice.

Turns out that I got paid today. Thank heavens. I went to the ABM in faith that there was an errant 10 bucks in my account. I gasped when I saw my salary. Anyone looking on would have thought that maybe they had made the deposit to the wrong account or something.

So I hightailed it to the sukarmarket with Neighbour who from now on I will call Silly. Neighbour is too long. So Silly went with me and we marvelled that certain things were actually put on ice, and that there was relatively low junjo (decay) this week.

I got my honey whole nut cereal and soy milk, and turkey breast and brown bread and chicken wings for lots and lots of chicken soup. Treated myself to a bottle of the best of the worst Merlot available in the world. Need to take my multivitamins and resume my morning green juice cleansing routine. Dont know if I can juggle that, exercise, breakfast and pack lunch and still get to work before sundown. EEEKS ...this is beginning to sound like earlier mornings. Damn. We will play that sankey by air.

So I am back in the swing.

Modifying diet and resuming exercise.

I will go for another ride tomorrow evening. Eventually, I would like to build up to a 45 min circuit 6 mornings a week and cycling two evenings per week.

I am giving up cigarettes for lent. I am on my last pack.. It will be finished by tomorrow. Wish me luck.
