Make decision about phone/chromebook (I could use tablet/cameras) 4. finalize my flights. 5. seriously check flights coming back. I couldn't do anything all day long except buy my train ticket. I did speak to Pan and got a hug; but, I'm still upset.

We look at it as a thing that we ended. We ended a possible life that may have had a huge complication... preventing suffering for the child and for the family. And I think that is more right than seeing it as a murder -- that's so black and white. Life isn't black and white. Life is grey."

I was at the 'upgraded' level for a long time. It just became part of my budget. Even now, at a higher level I don't complain. It's not like I'm not eating or don't have a place to sleep. I've been there, done that. Y'know... the internet was a godsend for some of us. I'm connected with so many people from so many places and here at WdC with so many different kinds of writers. I'd be lonelier than I am without it." 1 กันยายน 2566 = 1 september 2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Haley has a point: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/haley-the-senate-is-the-most-privileged-...

Like the group from Norway I saw in person circa 1986?" To Adherennium: in "what do I want?" ![]() But I also wanted to know the world when I was 11. These days... my goals have bite-size chewable objectives. Get up and do something... has been refined to write, read, exercise, walk, take photos. I'm learning the local language. My goal? I don't want to die before I'm dead." 31 สิงหาคม 2566 = 31 august 2023 News from Bengaluru: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/this-trans-woman-was-begging-on-india-s-str... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To Fathertymme in "Three Score and Thirteen+ Day 13, " ![]() As in... my brother-in-law died August 15th. I found out when I called my sister on the 22nd for her birthday (August 23rd). I don't forget my sister's b-day... I usually just forget to call. And that's my life. At some point I just throw up my hands. It is what it is. I'm having computer issues but I use my phone as a hot-spot so that works really well in Thailand. In Montana? We shall see. I may need to cut back and that's not all bad. Glad to read about the eyes, the fish, and the garden." To Hooves in "De-cluttering and Coping With Loss" ![]() That said... Montana... I have two closets. I'm not sure what's hidden in their recesses; but, I need to go through at least one once I'm there. I only live in two rooms. It's amazing how much fits into a small place. My problem is depression. I get overwhelmed... far too easily." To Petra in "My heart is heavy" ![]() It's hard to move. I'm facing that issue at 71 and if I live to be 82 or older I may have to face it multiple times. Thailand? Living with someone is a pain... but it's good for me. Yet, lonely without friends. Montana? Living alone is not good for me. Friends? Define that... I want to be in Kansas '76 or where-I-grew up '90 or Oklahoma '04 or even Montana '10. It's not like I don't try. I make connections with everyone... kinda..."

I still struggle. My dad was laid-back. My mother was controlling. I wasn't allowed to speak to family or choose my friends. I smiled at every stranger like a lost puppy. That's part of it too. Interesting that you mention combative... the bullying leads to anger, either internalized or outwardly expressed. I seldom felt safe in my community, at work nor with my family. I didn't connect with the song. That's always an issue with random prompts not of my choosing." To Charity: "Yes, I remember what you said years ago; but, you were focused on your daughter. Hard to make life choices when you're overwhelmed. Strangers can see what family cannot. Or... you may be more willing to take the advice of strangers. Either way... congrats! Mattress on the floor... done all over the world. ![]() Hotel rooms have advantages but renting a condo works for me. It's much cheaper here in Thailand." To Steven: "My writerings = my blog. I do try to do other things but exorcising, walking and chatting every day for physical, mental and emotional stability is also important. I do a bit of a lot of things. I'll be traveling next week, so that will impact my routine (like... what routine...)." Pan is still sick. He's also sweating, has a fever, drinking water but won't eat. 29 สิงหาคม 2566 = 29 august 2023 I woke up does that count? fuzzy headed. I need to do my exorcise, maybe think about rainbows today's BCoF prompt and try not to stress out about 1 week left to straighten out my future trips. I leave Thailand on September 8th because... that's when my flight is scheduled and must figure a way back a.s.a.p. I doubt I'll do much around WdC as i don't do birthdays I'll be busy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() To mousethyme: "I pet a cat today. ![]() I have to remind Pan to take his meds. He's been ill. Today was day #4... hopefully he's better tomorrow. I don't take any meds myself at the moment. Just as well..." To Neil: "I tend to talk too much. That's a problem for everyone. I need to leave next week, so I'm struggling to maintain some sanity. Pan has been ill, and that doesn't help. Looked at return flights in early October." To Elizabeth: "Summer... in the past I could have probably come up with a lot... but in Thailand the cool > hot > wet seasons are different and I have nothing that I miss because everything is new. Highlight: trip to Laos, especially beautiful historic Luang Prabang. Low: didn't get to the park in Chaiyaphum to see the rocks and flowers." I looked up flights today. About 50,000 baht or $1,500 round trip. I need to make decisions and hopefully can tell Pan when I return before I leave. 28 สิงหาคม 2566 = 28 august 2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Midnight. Muggy. 80°F 27°C; Precipitation: 14%; Humidity: 86%; Wind: 2 mph. I'm feeling like crap. Coffee? Can barely stay awake. It's almost 6 p.m. and still sultry. I would say that Pan is having a rough time. He took his meds at 21:00 but wasn't 'here'. 8253 |
