Bathroom accessories I really want to buy some bathroom accessories that I have been needed for some time now. The other day I noticed I have to make a few changes in the bathroom. For starters, I need to fix my faucet because it does not work completely well, the hot water handle has been working on and off. Also, a very perceptive friend of mine told me that I need a new toilet paper holder immediately since the one I have is broken. She even noticed that my shower head was rusty and urgently recommended me to get a new one because she read a scientific article about how they impact badly human health. When she told me this I kind of got ashamed but after a few minutes I decided to do something. I made a list of new bathroom accessories I need to buy, here is the list: a cheap drain, a new plunger, a toilet brush, a fancy toilet paper holder, a hand-me-down squatty potty, a brass shower head they say it could be detachable or fix but I have not decided which one I will buy, a classy squeegee, two wash cloths, an aesthetic soap dispenser, and a red toothbrush holder. How can I make a lot of changes, but on a budget? At least for right now I can use my credit card and get worried the next year. I made up this story to use bathroom vocabulary but on second thought I have to make some changes before 2023 ends.

Christmas decorations I have been thinking about if people really use the word tchotchke because I had not heard it before. I read an article about holiday decorations, and they used that word tchotchke. I do not usually decorate my place for Christmas but this article which is a podcast as well it made think over about hanging up some ornaments. Why do I do not enjoy that much decorating my apartment? It is completely easy to answer the question because what goes up must go down and I am a lazy person and my level of commitment is low. Next year I will give myself permission to do something different, I will have wreaths, ornaments, pinecones and even a Christmas tree.

Hola, busco compañeros de idiomas para hacer intercambios español/inglés. Generalmente me gusta dividir el tiempo en 50/50 para que así ambos podamos practicar. Anteriormente hablaba más con diversos amigos, pero por cuestiones de nuestras actividades hemos dejado de lado nuestras conversaciones. Así que, si buscas un amigo con quién practicar tu español envíame un mensaje. Looking for language partners (English/Spanish).

I want to keep writing anything all days just for fun. I am usually busy during the day and when it's time to practice my brain is drained. I discovered last night that some NPR podcast have transcripts. I'm happy because it will help me to improve my English. Day 8

Another night keeping this process working. I decided to write at least one paragraph every day and here I am. Today was a good day. Since I can stay at home because of my job, I took the time to cook my own meals, so I can save some money in my piggy bank instead of buying my food, brilliant idea, right? When I was chopping up carrots, I remembered that three years ago approximately my technique to learn this language it was by watching videos on Youtube of recipes. It has been a while since I can work from home, and I really love it. It gives me the opportunity to practice my English. Day 7

I enjoy listening to the Tiny desk concerts. It all began approximately like three years ago when I was scrolling through YouTube and those videos came across. I think it is an honor playing your music in that little space that they created for this kind of performances, I could say it is a place of celebration. Through time there have been hundreds of different voices and instruments. But my two favorite Tiny desk concerts are those performed by Mic Miller and another one played by a Mexican musician from my own small town in the state of Veracruz, Natalia Lafourcade. The magic of Natalia’s music is in the warmth of her lyrics and her voice. I am about to head to my bed, but in the meantime I will listen to one of these concerts. Day 6

I am at my house tonight trying to think something to write about. It is a hard process even when I must tell a story in my native language. It is easier when I wake up in the morning and my brain is full of energy typically. I came out with this idea of writing ever single day to improve my level but sometimes I do not know what to say. I guess this is it. I am just giving baby steps, one step at a time. Day 5

Have you ever heard about son jarocho? It’s a regional Mexican music which sounds amazing. I met a famous musician of son jarocho today. I have been learning how to dance this musical genre and I want to keep improving my traditional zapateado dance. Day 4

Artificial intelligence and the future of humans. Can we be no longer the smartest beings in the world? I have been reading about AI lately, and it seems to be a great thing at first when it comes to make your life easier. Artificial intelligence is an implement to help us to get things done in a better way. Thanks to it there are better opportunities for health care for instance, and some people use it like an assistant or something creative. On the other hand, I guess there are real risks of intervene in cyber networks and mass unemployment (like people that work in factory assembly lines). I have some contradictory ideas about it, but let’s see what the future holds. Day 3
