The Earth will survive... with or without humans. Perhaps our molecules will recombine into something greater. One can hope for a future regardless.

In response to "Getting Away"

Yes, in general, two-three nights sounds perfect. I'm slowing down so "one night" is problematic. See how having a guest goes. I'll likely visit you when I can also go to Prachuap Kiri Khan so please tell me how that visit goes.

In response to "Bah Humbug"

I don't like mid-December - mid-January in Montana. Too gloomy and the place is ghostly.

Growing up December was brutal unless it snowed. January was snowier and brighter.

Being elsewhere is fine with me. Thailand last year. Thailand this year.

I don't celebrate Christmas.

In response to "Mr Diabetes"

Hey Dr Gonzo. Sounds like you're doing well. Compared to the alternative, I think a little weight gain might be a small price to pay.
Every NA and AA meeting I've ever been to has featured candy or pastries of some kind. I'm pretty sure it just goes with the territory. The last time I used was a pretty heavy relapse in 2018 but I've been clean since then. No drinking or drugging. MAYBE a joint once or twice a year. I stayed pretty heavy for the first couple years of sobriety.

Even today, I have a severe sweet tooth. I can't sleep without a belly full of something sweet. I've found that my body doesn't mind the sugar in peanut butter and milk. I can gorge myself and still stay lean.

I'm glad you and Nada found each other. I look forward to your adventures together.

In response to "High Season vs Low Season"

Hadn't thought of MSG and coughing. I don't add salt like many people.

I've had three days of coughing. A bit better earlier today but coughing now as I typed.

High season = must book in advance.

Cooler. High 80s this week; high 60s at night.

Sugary donuts today! And coffee.

Not much of an appetite though.

In response to "Schools in Thailand"

Yep. Uniforms. Short >>> long pants. Fighting is seen in movies, but I sense less violence in general in-real-life. Respect is absolute.

I'm sleeping on the floor tonight.

He'll survive that aspect of school.

In response to ""Sir...Your Disorder Is Ready""

I have made great progress on my trip. Leave on the 19th here; arrive on the 21st in Kuala Lumpur. I will leave Penang on the 1st for a short flight to Phuket, stay 2 days then fly to Udon Thani... avoiding Bangkok. I'll be in Ayutthaya on the 15-17th of December. I may have time to see you before or after.

I also have no plans for January yet.

Pan is driving my bonkers; but, I'm slowly understanding that much of it is cultural and how he uses language.

As for HOCD... some of us are just who we are. I've always been left-handed. That wasn't always acceptable and many suffered from the labels.

I remind Pan that he's handsome just the way he is. I'll repeat that until he accepts that.

Too Big For My Britches

After taking a couple of days off chores, I feel better. I finally have Mom's room completed, but there's a lot more work to do on the rest of the house. I guess as a homeowner, it never ends, and there will always be something that needs doing. I can deal with that, I just have to learn to pace myself and realise when I need to take a break...and then take one.

I need a break now, but it will be a month before I get to lay by a pool in Thailand, sipping pina coladas and trying not to stare at the bottoms of nubile women who are young enough to be my daughters. I haven't touched alcohol since I was last in Phuket in 2018, and in a way, I'm lucky I can have a drink and then leave it. Meth on the other hand is not like that for me. If I were to have even one little line, I know it would be six months before I might stop and regret that one bad decision.

Yesterday I did the double...weights followed by bike, and today, forty-five minutes on the bike. I have a pair of pants that I love. I bought them last time I was in Thailand and they are now too small for me. To fit into those pants again is one of my goals, and I hope within six months, I'll be able to wear them comfortably and with pride. Although I don't want to sound like it, I am a bit too big for my britches.
