Wednesday words

 The winter cold continues therefore I opt to stay inside as much as I can the next couple of days while the next cold system works its way through. I'm not depressed or anything because each day is a day closer to Spring and that works for me and I certainly have enough to keep me busy through the day. I don't see how anyone can be bored or say there's nothing to do if they have access to Netflix and what other entertainment carriers that tend to be out there. I could waste my entire life on Netflix and Prime video if I can stand myself for doing so. Right now I just go for an hour here or an hour there was a while I'll binge then feel guilty. It's a nice system to have thank you for it. But I have my arm bike and my daily arm bike pumps slash rides to occupy some of my time and I certainly have the rest of the apartment trying to keep it in somewhat respectable order also to keep me busy. On top of that my son, has got me into some sort of international thing, where I will be communicating with people from Europe more specifically Russia! It started today for the first time I wasn't really sure what my son had in mind but I'm beginning to understand now. Visiting with English speaking Russians are Europeans wishing to verbalize with somebody in the English language to work on their English speaking skills. Speaking in English is an asset probably for any other non-english speaking population on Earth. That's part of grandiose statement but I think it's true in large part. I'm a little put on the spot cuz I didn't know that was really coming so I volunteered to do so I didn't know how seemingly personal it would get. I got some questions today about dealing with government support type programs in Russia and how to deal with them. I certainly don't know at least not specific to Russia I mean I did that part of my career here in USA as far as dealing with Healthcare Providers and such particularly with people with disabilities “advocacy” I guess is the best term for it. Like I said I don't know how anybody would deal with that in the ones Soviet Union. I don't know what kind of services the new regimes have for people with disabilities Russians with disabilities. I'm going to sleep on it and maybe tomorrow I'll try to answer some of the questions that might be coming this way. Tomorrow's Thursday and all I have is coffee and donuts in the morning. The rest of the day I could be doing other things that I need to get off the table sooner or later but I can spend some time on this talking to the Russians project my son may have gotten anything too.

There's a knock on my door this evening and it was what I was afraid of the older lady who tends to walk around this neighborhood with her dog had a gift for me a bag full of grapes. This is the first time she's accosted me with vegetable gifts or fruit gifts- she used to all the time the last couple years but I thought I'd weaned her off that. I guess not the grapes are good however there purple grapes versus green grapes and they're a little more thought about that the ones I just got the true green grapes but much softer than I like. No I'll just have to keep dodging the lady…
