3 things you don't want to live without...

Hey i saw something i never saw before here today. A front end loader down at the beach, digging gravel and rocks for building materials. Usually this is a job reserved for a herd of pack mules. So interesting to see the changes here, year after year. Always something new and surprising. wow. So i'm feeling much better today gratefully. I would say fully almost recovered. A little lethargic, but otherwise full power. Had a nice conversation with my mom on the phone today. mmm... tomorrow i think my bag will arrive, then we will have a bag retrieval celebration party. hee hee. The day is cloudy, overcast. Elections are happening, so every morning we are treated to the broadcasting on mobile loudspeakers of all the candidates. Of course i can't understand a word of it. But have had it explained to me. There are only three things in my bag, of all the things i brought, that i am eager and excited to have: 1) knowledge, as represented by my hindi book so i can start studying hungrily, 2) exercise, as represented by my running shoes, which will allow me to start taking long walks in nature (my 40rupee flip flops are infinately not comfortable enough for long sojourns) and 3) homebaked sweets in the form of the shortbread cookies i made before leaving canada 3 weeks ago. ... do you think they will still be good? its just butter, cornstarch, flour and sugar.
