Dad just had a surgery and doctor said recovery would take 3 months. I don’t know what I can do yet I want to be with mom and dad…Tks to covid’s remote work, my team location and boss support, and more relaxed quarantine policy. I’m going home 🙂

Really?
Door was installed yesterday but seller refused to paint/ finish and said agreement doesn’t include paint, really? Who will consider a door is completed without finish? After ordering a nice door and sending crew to start work at 7:30am (installment done before 3pm), not to complete the last mile, really? I asked for $100 to …
I Can Do It!
Tenant said her room door couldn’t be closed and the range oven shut itself off in the middle of baking. I went to check the door; actually a knob missed a screw so it’s loose. I went to a hardware store yet there is wall of screws of various sizes and lengths. I went back, …
Coming to Life
After 5 month of waiting for the permit, the construction of stairs took only one week, if excluding breaks and bad weather. The stairs ended up larger and in a much more prominent place than a typical fire escape ladder. The designer said it’s his first time to do a design like this in the …

I heard questions from people about food safety, logistics… Today I came across Shef – explore home cooked meals …
Dream Coming True
Living in Spain and being fluent in Spanish have long been a dream. Now Spain opens-up its border and I don’t need visa up to 90 days. We still work remotely and most of my teams are in Europe and Asia so time-zone would work. I asked “mama” in Costa Rica to give me the …
Happy 10 Years Birthday, Duolingo!
I read Duolingo’s co-founder’s post on Linkedin for its 10 years anniversary. I found out that I’ve been using it to learn Spanish since 2004 (8y+); I have daily goal to pass 3 lessons a day.

Serendipity
House is again not able to be closed. More drag yet I appreciate the serendipity: it gives me additional time to discuss with other unit’s tenants. It also enables me to take a trip back to CT sooner, to visit some old friends after 3-4 years. Stay positive and appreciative no matter what! Everything will …
