暖冬cool夏
這裏一年四季溫暖如春，沒有酷暑沒有嚴寒......
Our common areas in the front were flanked by six towering eucalyptus trees, shrouding our homes in their shades from the direct sun and straight street views. For 16 years since I moved in, day in and day out, they are there by the road side, over our window with their silvery leaves and willow-like branches. They dance in the wind, glow in the sun, and are home to birds, merlins, bees, and squirrels. But that was permanently changed on February 18, 2022, when a few workers clad in orange work suits and yellow helmets showed up around 8 in the morning. Within one morning, amid the roaring sounds of sawing and grinding, these six eucalyptuses were felled and ground to powders.
Stepping out as the noises died down, I was saddened at the bare sight of front lawns, now looking very much naked. Gone are the trees, the sight and scent that accompanied us for more than a decade. Gone is the habitat for the animals. And gone forever are the moments when relishing in front of the window I peered into the lush evergreen leaves for blooming flowers.
Never would I take anything for granted.
J started jogging daily for 3 miles since late January. The new company provides a monthly $100 reimbursement allowance for any sport or activity. As the gym is still not very safe, she chose an app (a monthly $14 app) to tune and track her running. It took her around 33 minutes to finish 3 miles, and she wanted to cut to at least 30 minutes. Hope she can keep up the good start.
My return to office on Tuesday February 22 turned out to be jolly and productive. Apart from some water-cooler moments, I joined the team to walk after lunch for about 30 minutes. We are on a program called Virgin Pulse, competing companywide against other teams.
Our company has been rumored to look for a buyer, and a new CFO was brought in last July for possible M&A. It’s said that the closing time is now as near as 6 months. If the deal goes through, what would happen to me?
Our next door neighbors, an old Indian couple, moved out the week before, and put their home on the market right after. Today (2/26) as we saw an Open House sign out in the meadow, we followed the visitors to go in and take a look. Clearly the ridiculously sky-rocketing home price did not thwart buyers. On the contrary, the housing market is still very hot. As I saw people filing out, watching around, and discussing by twos and threes, I quickly retreated as I know I am only an onlooker.
Life does fly by. Middle-aged and no longer young, I have to watch out my health closely. Luckily this year's annual result came out the best. Everything is quite normal, thanks to constant 30 minutes daily ping-pong playing, except for the blood sugar 5.9, which is slightly higher than the norm 5.7. I may need to cut down more carbs and sugar, or perhaps more exercise after meals. My vitamin D level is back to normal after daily supplementing 2 pills of calcium (1200mg) and one pill of vitamin D3 (2000 IU).
樹砍了自然可惜啊，不過已經過去了。或許等夏天大太陽了會懷念它。同祝琥珀女神節快樂!
祝暖冬各位姐妹女神節快樂！
是的，我覺得那篇文章寫得很有意思，人類本身有些時候就是生活在圍城裏，我們家領導也特別希望能永遠在家上班，現在他也開始一星期回公司兩天了。祝淡然新周快樂!
又補讀了你的前一篇博文，珍珠雪的名字真好聽，我們這兒也偶爾會下一次。也讀了暖冬轉發的有關通勤的文章，很有意思！想想我可能屬另類，更喜歡在家工作因為不必通勤，不過現在疫情慢慢好轉，又不得不通勤了。
周末快樂！
暖冬的英文一看就是受過訓練的，詞語用的都比較高級：）。我是整體盯著電腦算賬，眼睛也很費。每天堅持走路太好了，對眼睛和身體都有好處。恭喜暖冬體檢指標達標，我們一起努力永遠不老，哈哈哈。
這些花很漂亮！上麵有蜜蜂嗎？
暖冬周末快樂！
謝謝心城聽歌，聽出這麽多情感，還寫了這麽美的話語! 你點的那首我聽過，歌詞寫得好，不過我可能唱不出味道(不是我的歌，我隻能唱某一類的)。不過要謝謝心城點歌，那是一種信任和欣賞:) 心城，我們都好好保重，享受生活!
cause big trouble. As for a company re-org, one has little control and therefore
will do better than wasting too much time thinking about it. Meanwhile, striving
for health (as it's not free) as you've been doing is the most important thing.
Good Luck!
這幾棵樹砍了真是不舍，現在前麵光禿禿的。這是我們小社區的決定，是小規劃上的問題。不過現在已經砍了，也不去想了。寫這些，也是以便以後查找。
謝謝小小啦，工作忙，注意休息!
很喜歡的一首歌，詩情畫意，暖冬唱得溫婉柔美動聽，也很喜歡童麗的歌，但童麗的歌甜嗲的有點膩，暖冬的更溫潤醇美，聽著舒服：））
正如雲兒所說，暖冬的歌越唱越好，在一起合作幾次也深有體會：））
暖冬是一個懷舊又重感情的人，相伴十幾年的大樹突然砍掉令人傷感，不過，可能也是因為城市規劃等原因，相信一定會有更完美的規劃正在實施，明天會更美好！：））
秋水身材苗條的，估計你是怕吃多了指數上去了，我想主要還是要飯後運動，把食物消化一些，就不會囤積在體內。記得你走路的，快走，走不少的，現在天氣正好，多出去走走就好。
這就三月了，時光如梭，祝秋水快樂健康，三月春好!
這麽茂盛的大樹被砍了實在太可惜了，16年的陪伴，太多美好的回憶了~~~城市有城市的規劃，但願很快又有新樹種上，暖冬可以再陪著它們一起成長：）
開心聽到暖冬回去上班的愉快心情：）年檢一切正常，給你點個讚！：）這個年過完了後我才開始恢複走路跑步，一直沒有節製的吃喝，爭取這個月飲食和運動都合理一些，等過一個月後再去體檢，不然體檢結果會難看：））
車到山前必有路，柳暗花明又一村，一切都是最好的安排，不去想那麽多，讚同暖冬的享受當下最重要！：）
問候親愛的暖冬，新周愉快，三月快樂！
暖暖的歌聲柔美深情，真好聽！
謝謝遐西來聽歌，謝謝你的合作意向，你也要多唱啊! 周日快樂!
故鄉在江南~夢鄉在江南～，和你一起想念江南！
好像你可以唱高一點的調，有充分的餘地。夢想等我把歌聲練得醇厚一些，好聽一些，可以和暖冬合作。
門前這麽多大樹被砍掉，令人很痛心。
