Left-overs piled on hot rice and mixed.

At home in Thailand we do something similar. At home, we make rice and top it with whatever we didn't finish from the last meal.

I doubt that I'm accomplishing much by maintaining this particular blog. 15 days and over 11.000 words. I don't like quitting but it's getting in the way. It takes up too much time.

At least I entered Shadows&Light before the deadline. Found something I wrote in October, put it on-line, edited, made it an item, posted... just in time. "I too have survivedOpen in new Window.

I want to stay here two more months. Pannya and I need to work that out... face to face... long-distance by texting doesn't work. I need to know his plans. If not... I need to make decisions without his input. Regardless it would be nice to be here in July and again next November. March/April needs to be avoided (just like in Costa Rica). Heat, dust, smoke... not healthy for me.

And health matters. I looked at renting a room in a hospital yesterday. Didn't like the set-up and prices. I did like the big 'expensive' room though. Need to look at another hospital nearby that rents apartments. I have little time left.

My health is better here but I worry too much and get attached. The mantra of Thailand is "let it go".

To Cappucine in "Not better. A whinge Open in new Window. "Large classes can make it difficult for the quiet kids or those who dislike large groups. A cull to 15-20 may improve their participation and attitude.

Jacaranda... I don't know that I'll be here when next they bloom.

Meds... doctor... therapist... I don't like meds personally but they help millions if the correct med and dosage can be worked out."


To Pumpkin in "Diets-Who Needs Them (I do)IOpen in new Window.

"Living with someone helps me regulate. But Pannya is visiting his mother; so, I'll eat rice (with butter) today. I did my exercise this morning and 'winter' has started. The lower temps will make it easier to be outside. I try to walk every day.

My legs are stronger than a year ago but I can't walk fast like I used to. I try not to think about stairs until I go back to Montana.

The wealthy can afford a cook, an accountant, a chauffeur, a housekeeper. The rest of us just cope.

When I was younger... last century... I lost a lot of weight by dancing every night. Now, not having a car = walking (dangerous in Thailand).

I needn't do some things alone; but, I'm used to not being in groups and becoming a groupie is an undesirable option for me."

To Charity Marie - <3 in "Post-SurgeryOpen in new Window.

"I need platonic friends. That's what most friends are regardless.

Family is e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g here. Parents can be controlling; guilt tripping is culturally normal. Pannya is at his mom's... Yes, I am enjoying my solitude... at times... but I miss him dearly and hope he's back by the 19th.

Yes he has ED due to meds; but, those meds allow him to function. Cuddling is fine. Knowing he's by my side is comforting.

We've 'been together' kinda, sorta, for one year. I don't see a future for us. And that's causing personal dilemmas for me.

At my age I need to be careful walking here in Thailand. Sidewalks and curbs are notoriously bad and crossing streets is dangerous. I can afford any distraction."


To Lilli ☕ in "World Kindness Day!Open in new Window. I do some of these all the time = good habit.
Donuts *Donut4* every day = bad habit. *Shock2*

I like the idea of painting rocks. It's been done in Missoula. Children would love it! Do a dozen or more (rocks don't have calories) and hide them in a section of town (needn't be a park; sidewalks tend to be public...) then have a scavenger hunt! Some won't be found... maybe for years! But the messages will always be welcome. And rocks don't go bad like eggs.
