Today’s task was to “learn some Swedish.” I started with easy ones that could be as introductory phrases: 1. Hello — Halia 2. My name is — Mitt namn ar… 3. Nice meeting you — Trevlight att rakas Then I thought to move to more complex ones. This is what I selected as you never know what will become useful…

Today’s task was to “test if you are a psychopath.” Here is a test: 1. Glibness and superficial charm (somewhat true. I tend to use it on strangers I have to meet at gatherings at a bar.) 2. Grandious sense of worth (Not true. I have a bad case of impostor syndrome and am generally insecure about 6’1″ in height.)…

Today’s task was to “become an expert of today.” Informative. Here is what I found: Weather in Zambia today — 66F on average. (why Zambia I don’t know. Just because?) The number of wars in progress — we all know about Ukranian war but there are many more. 26 total including Africa and Euro-Asia and Asia. Result of a main…

Today was a Primal Scream Day. So needed one as I have a project that just is not working. Here are the screams I tried: 1. Yeeeaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhhh! 2. raaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhrgh! 3. eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek! My neighbors were not home so I did not disturb anyone (the walls are thin in my condo plus I had a fire alarm going off at 1 am…

Today’s task was to “rap.” I channeled my inner rapper and this is what came out: “My name is Tatiana I am not a simple mama Complicated is my mantra I am not one to go on Oprah Life is fun with all its hoopla Trust me I am a Drucula When pressed to live under a cupola Peace out”…

Today’s task was to “join the political party.” Here is what I think: Republicans: Capitalism Rules. Death Penalty. Abortions are illegal. We are the rich. Democrats: Whatever. We go with the flow. Communists: The Soviet system was not all bad. Redistribution of wealth (total lie but sure). Kill the rich (which they did). Green Party: Corporations are evil. Save the…

Today’s task was to “bury a treasure.” First, I had to identify what I want to bury. I decided on my Haruki Murakami collection (pic included) because I am running out of space on my bookshelf (the books are stacked twice on each shell). My thought was that in 20 years I can unbury it and read it again. The…

Today is the “conspiracy day.” So, due to my laziness in spring cleaning, I hired (for the first time ever) a cleaning lady. I left the house because I thought it was rude to observe her and that would make her uncomfortable. I did leave the list of things I wanted to get done. Took two pages because it is…

Today’s task was to “pretend you are pregnant day.” Here is what I did: Stuffed a pillow under my undergarments. Went to walk Opee holding my hand behind my back and walking at a slow pace. (Opee was so not happy with that). Some woman asked me if she can touch my stomach (I kid you not!)). I did not…

Today’s task was “to work out what your dreams are telling you to do and do it.” Well, here is my dreamland (I looked it up): 1. Clouds — there are problems at work. go on vacation. (yey. I am so overdue!). 2. Falling — your fear of failure. Don’t do anything today. (great! I am all for not doing…
