Elephanth week of the Year 181

So... my daily check-off list isn't working like it did in Thailand.

Read poetry.
Write something.
Talk to people.
Clean the place.
Take a walk.
Take photos.
Study Thai/Lao.
Keep in touch.

I'm not accomplishing much.

Revised "To the mountains that would hem me in:" 

I am reading "Dragonfire" and hope to be halfways finished today. I'm editing old poems and must enter contests by tomorrow. I'm keeping in touch with Pan (daily) and others. I don't feel as alone and isolated.

But I'm not exercising or walking. I'm not cleaning. My eating is erratic.

I feel okay but I'm dog-paddling i.e. not going anywhere.

30th: Finished "Dragonfire"... now to read an anthology of poems.

Revised some old works. "Photo Exhibition at Aimee's"  "Properly clothed" 

I feel ghosted.

31st: Working on entries on the last day. Received 2 nice and helpful reviews by BKC.

I forgot about the monthly Short Shots challenge but now have an idea... perhaps not the time.

Started reading an anthology.

Entered some contests.

1st:

Pan is giving up the condo so he messaged me. I wish I were there to help. I'm not.

Up early and out. Walked to market and Butterfly Herbs.

Finished episode 1 of "He's coming to me".

2nd:

Walked to buy food. Smelled irises along the way. Not too cold.

Cooked. Ate a stew of parsnips-potatoes-pasta.

Read a little, watched a little, did very little.
