暖冬cool夏
这里一年四季温暖如春，没有酷暑没有严寒......
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).
树砍了自然可惜啊，不过已经过去了。或许等夏天大太阳了会怀念它。同祝琥珀女神节快乐!
祝暖冬各位姐妹女神节快乐！
是的，我觉得那篇文章写得很有意思，人类本身有些时候就是生活在围城里，我们家领导也特别希望能永远在家上班，现在他也开始一星期回公司两天了。祝淡然新周快乐!
又补读了你的前一篇博文，珍珠雪的名字真好听，我们这儿也偶尔会下一次。也读了暖冬转发的有关通勤的文章，很有意思！想想我可能属另类，更喜欢在家工作因为不必通勤，不过现在疫情慢慢好转，又不得不通勤了。
周末快乐！
暖冬的英文一看就是受过训练的，词语用的都比较高级：）。我是整体盯着电脑算账，眼睛也很费。每天坚持走路太好了，对眼睛和身体都有好处。恭喜暖冬体检指标达标，我们一起努力永远不老，哈哈哈。
这些花很漂亮！上面有蜜蜂吗？
暖冬周末快乐！
谢谢心城听歌，听出这么多情感，还写了这么美的话语! 你点的那首我听过，歌词写得好，不过我可能唱不出味道(不是我的歌，我只能唱某一类的)。不过要谢谢心城点歌，那是一种信任和欣赏:) 心城，我们都好好保重，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!
这几棵树砍了真是不舍，现在前面光秃秃的。这是我们小社区的决定，是小规划上的问题。不过现在已经砍了，也不去想了。写这些，也是以便以后查找。
谢谢小小啦，工作忙，注意休息!
很喜欢的一首歌，诗情画意，暖冬唱得温婉柔美动听，也很喜欢童丽的歌，但童丽的歌甜嗲的有点腻，暖冬的更温润醇美，听着舒服：））
正如云儿所说，暖冬的歌越唱越好，在一起合作几次也深有体会：））
暖冬是一个怀旧又重感情的人，相伴十几年的大树突然砍掉令人伤感，不过，可能也是因为城市规划等原因，相信一定会有更完美的规划正在实施，明天会更美好！：））
秋水身材苗条的，估计你是怕吃多了指数上去了，我想主要还是要饭后运动，把食物消化一些，就不会囤积在体内。记得你走路的，快走，走不少的，现在天气正好，多出去走走就好。
这就三月了，时光如梭，祝秋水快乐健康，三月春好!
这么茂盛的大树被砍了实在太可惜了，16年的陪伴，太多美好的回忆了~~~城市有城市的规划，但愿很快又有新树种上，暖冬可以再陪着它们一起成长：）
开心听到暖冬回去上班的愉快心情：）年检一切正常，给你点个赞！：）这个年过完了后我才开始恢复走路跑步，一直没有节制的吃喝，争取这个月饮食和运动都合理一些，等过一个月后再去体检，不然体检结果会难看：））
车到山前必有路，柳暗花明又一村，一切都是最好的安排，不去想那么多，赞同暖冬的享受当下最重要！：）
问候亲爱的暖冬，新周愉快，三月快乐！
暖暖的歌声柔美深情，真好听！
谢谢遐西来听歌，谢谢你的合作意向，你也要多唱啊! 周日快乐!
故乡在江南~梦乡在江南～，和你一起想念江南！
好像你可以唱高一点的调，有充分的余地。梦想等我把歌声练得醇厚一些，好听一些，可以和暖冬合作。
门前这么多大树被砍掉，令人很痛心。
