The Days of the Week

Ken wants to get a day of the week clock; rather than show the time of day, it tells you what day it is. He's been talking about this for a couple of years now (there was a touch of jealousy when our friend Jeff got one for Christmas). It actually isn't hard to forget what day it is, as we don't have a set schedule when we aren't around Grenada. In Grenada, the net keeps us in line (especially when I am a net controller), and the shopping bus and Hash also are reminders of what day of the week it is. Now, well, we don't have those markers.

Yesterday morning I chose to not go for a run, and instead decided to make it a rest day. I figured I would do a long run on Sunday, as the decreased traffic meant a run by the Riviere Sallee, which requires cutting through the square in PaP, would be more enjoyable and less "involved". We enjoyed a nice morning, and got an early start on getting some groceries. Ken opted to stick around the marina area and do some WiFi, as his back wasn't up to the promise of a 4 km round trip to the supermarket.

I observed a noticeable lack of traffic for a Saturday. Hmm, must be because of Carnival. The supermarket wasn't very busy for a Saturday, either. Bonus for me!

Ken observed the closed businesses around the marina, and figured it must be Sunday. Comments on the "Friendly Net" that morning also lead him to believe that. He mentioned this to me, but I was positive that it was Saturday. Geez, Ken, get with it!

Well, this morning I went for my long run. Man, what a lot of traffic for a Sunday morning, and why were their so many cars going into the university? It wasn't until I saw school kids waiting for the bus that I finally clued in that it was in fact Monday today, not Sunday. [[face palm]]

However, I am still pretty sure that it is 2016.
