First, we woke up to no power this morning... AK and I managed just fine to get ready for work / school without power, but it was interesting to explain to her what uses electric power and what uses battery power... and I must admit it was a relief to come to work and find the generators going as I was in need of a cup of coffee!!! The outage was island-wide and I do believe it's caused a few issues for businesses today.
Second, word on the street is that the Cayman government is planning to impose a 10% (!!!) tax on expat workers in Cayman! No word on when it will become effective but it is a bit surreal to get news like this. This also involved a suspension of our pension contributions. I'm not so much opposed to the taxation as I am to the suspension of my pension contributions.
Such is life... sounds like the power is coming back on, I should be able to cook supper tonight and finish up my laundry! I was starting to think I'd have to pack dirty clothing for my yoga retreat as I have a couple of loads of laundry to do tonight so I can pack tomorrow. At least my yoga clothing is clean :)
Annabelle has been really lovely to hang out with lately. On Sunday, she and Richard and I spent some time out in East End at a beach house that some friends had rented, that had a private pool and beach. We swam, played in the sun / shade, and then AK crashed in the bedroom and watched some cartoons. It was a perfect idyllic day, and I look forward to many more of those!

Forgot one little story from last night. AK and I were at the grocery store and she was hanging on to the basket, pulling on it and swinging it around, and I was getting annoyed and finally said "AK, can you please stop doing that, you're driving me up the wall!" and she pouted and said "I don't want to drive you!!!". Ha ha! At least she made me smile and stopped hanging off the basket!!!
