 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

| Sunday, April 21st, a red day. Saturday, April 20th, a purple day. Bad early morning. Exercising didn't help. Bad morning for Pan. Heat bad, 104+; AQI a tad better. At Surada, but no one to sit and talk with. A wasted day so far; but the last two days were productive. Saw Bryan in CR for a minute before lost connection. We chatted. He's going to be a lawyer.

Heat is still oppressive. 97° at 13:13. Ridvan starts at sunset. Thursday, April 18th, an orange day. Bought my ticket. Stress should go down. Pan surprised at midnight; details elsewhere.

Wednesday, April 17th, a Green Day. The color, not the band. No decision made. I'm able to keep up my exercise regimen and observations. Not much else. Eat? It's been so hot. At least 100 again. Some gusty winds, big drops, not much. Pan came home. Highs of 99-104 this upcoming week; lows 80-82. I'm surviving a steam bath. Meanwhile, it snowed in Missoula and an elephant took a stroll through Butte. Tuesday, April 16th, a pink day. Fretted over flights. Nothing decided. Too many options that are either expensive or complicated. Sat in Tower B. Pan working. Monday, April 15th, a yellow day. SONGKRAN. Got out to Surada. Spoke to P'Nan, Very hot. 104°. Looked at flights. Sat in Tower B Library with the a/c. Pan is working. Not feeling well. EXORCISE 4-15: 500(50)/200(8)/500(10)/350(5) = 1623. 09:29-10:30...ish. 91°.

Stopped in at Surada and 7/11. Thursday, April 11th, an orange day. Need to exercise earlier as sun is coming around. I put on my orange Coopedota shirt from Costa Rica. Pan gifted me a pair of orange underwear when he got back. I cooked today: rice with shredded carrot, onion, enoki, sweet-potato, malago, potato... I added some orange juice and placed 4 eggs and let the rice cooker do its job. Did get to market. Bought food. Watched a bit of "Deep Night" คืนนี้มีแค่เรา. Wednesday, April 10th, a green day. Much cooler in the morning. Low may have been 73°. Refreshing. Easier to exercise. Walk to Lotus for food. No one to talk to. 5 liters of water. Wrote lyrics "I saw a friend today..." and did what I had to do at WDC but listless, a bit of BL, 90° the high? Battled ants. Tuesday, April 9th, a pink day. About to SS&S... then go out of my a/c cave. I ate buttered rice and egg for brunch. Did my exercise, now need to exorcise. 97° at noon. 102° at 3:03 pm. Learning more Thai using BL/GL as examples. Wind and a couple drops of rain. Temp fell ... possible to 86° or lower. Entered Hook: "April... rosebud..."  .

| Monday, April 1st, a yellow day. Very hot. 88 at 9 in the morning and 88 at 9 in the evening. 95 at noon. 100 later. Pan cooked and went to school and then to 'fitness'. Not back yet. No word. Saw Paulo. He was getting ready to paint. No a/c at his new place; hopefully fixed by now. April is a hot miserable month punctuated by the New Year on April 13th with a 'water festival'. After a week of 100+ temps we'll be more than ready. Short walk. Worn out. Tuesday, April 2nd, a pink day. Went up to 104° but humidity was low. Pan not here. Lost my internet in the afternoon and too late to renew. Long walk to Central Mall. Gung read cards to me: at a crossroads. Earth gave me extra roti. Exercise as usual but internet goals suffered. Cooked pickled squid. Wednesday, April 3rd, a green day. Only 100 maybe? Internet restored (320 baht) after long walk to Central Mall. After exercise I used internet in Tower B library and later in Tower C lobby. Watched "We are" on and off. Spent most of the day trying to stay cool. Songkran booths are up. Ate duck. Thursday, April 4th, an orange day. Went up to 104°. Short walk to Lotus. Ate noodles and shopped with Pan. Swam... just a little. Did minimum exercise due to heat and bad air. Saw Paulo&Sayan. Pan cleaned (waxed?). Got 5 liters of water. Ate leftovers in the morning. Eating too much bread. Drinking as much as I can. Wrote a haiku. Friday, April 5th, a sky-blue day. 104 degrees or maybe more. Saw P'Nan, went to market (twice), took picture of golden-rain tree, wrote a haiku and a rant. Cooked. Tried to stay cool. Not working at the moment. Pan went to work-out. I did a very short swim (forgot my goggles and towel). Got 5 more liters of water. Trying to stay hydrated, Scrubbed toes. Saturday, April 6th, a purple day. 103 degrees. Saw P'Nan. Cut exercise short as heat and air were both bad. 5 more liters of water. Must increase liquid intake. Pan gets a haircut, buys food:   , and mini-scissors for my coffee. I took a short swim when others were around; shortness of breath is the main issue. Added another couple blog entries. Sunday, April 7th, a red day. 102 degrees. Saw Noi; spoke with a Minnesotan. No long walks (dangerous heat). pan goes to Mukdahan. I received a merit badge so I made this into an item "Softball (circa 1986)" Posted on the Newsfeed about "Eclipse". No swimming. Bad air. Watched BL.

| Monday the 25th: a yellow day. Not doing well. My nerves are on orange alert. Pan and I chatted about that. Exorcised, observed, yadayada... may start keeping track of this in my handwritten journal. No one here is interested. But I did manage to get an idea for a contest, posted in a newsletter, wrote a poem. Now to post in a forum... Pan washed clothes. I had a good chat with Alf Eriksson from Sweden. He goes back to Prachuap Kiri Khan in the morning. Mattress is flipped so I hope I sleep better. Tuesday the 26th, a pink day. Did exercise, took notes and a picture of an reddish orchid before it fades. Made a poll "How will I die?" [18+] that may upset some people; but, too many folks avoid reality. I just avoid doing anything about the reality surrounding me. It's why I'll die sooner than later. I didn't take a shower yet but I will. I waited until Pan left and then got busy. I'll also need to buy rice if I want to eat. Not keeping a checklist may not work... it does help to remind me when my brain is on hiatus (like right now). Wednesday the 27th, a green day. I enter this a day late as my computer acted up last night. The problem then becomes... what do I remember. I spoke with Joe from the UK about my visa/passport issue, visited with a man from Italy at Surada. Pan is working in Khon Kaen. I bought 5 kilos of rice for 159 baht and divided it all into containers. My nerves prevent me from functioning at what is considered a 'normal' level by 'normal' people. I watched a bit of "Cherry Magic" (the Thai version) which is well written and well performed. The heat is stifling. Thursday the 28th, an orange day. I didn't go to Immigration. I ran into Paulo and Sayan who are moving out of their condo into a house. I could rent their place... something to consider. I did take a walk and bought some food at Lotus. Stopped in at Surada. Pan says he comes back tomorrow. Another not-much-done day. I know my nerves are still jangled. My poll about dying has 15 votes. I promoted it again. The options include my personal experiences that I survived and at least two that my family members did not. This blog finally has over 10 thousand views. Friday the 29th, a sky-blue day. At least I'm wearing the appropriate color.  Passport/Visa: I'm stamped. I've been extended 30 more days. D-Day is April 30th. There's "no" pages left according to the officer. So... Singapore doesn't stamp and Malaysia and Schengen are small stamps. I'll look into Hong Kong. I bought Pan a pink rose. I bought myself some time and hopefully some peace-of-mind. It rained just as I was walking home; 94°. Took photos. Cut exercise back to minimum in the morning. One must understand what's most important and make it a priority. Now thunder. Saturday the 30th, a purple day, opened with grey skies and a light rain. Ate three times as Pan insisted. After breakfast I did my exercises, this time doing the max instead of the minimum. The rest of the day was threatening and oppressively humid. More water... 5 liters. I walked through the wat taking pictures and ended at Surada again. I managed to swim on my own alone which has been a worrisome barrier. Sunday the 31st, a red day. Nothing pressing so I took my time. Also... hotter than hell. Reached at least 100 degrees and stayed hot after sunset. It was 86° at 10 pm. Got water, went to market and stopped by 7/11, bought bananas and mushrooms, etc. Watched a bit of the BL "Boo". Pan slept in but cut my hair in the afternoon. He has much to learn. He works tomorrow. Said hello to his mother by phone. Pan washed the bed linens. Wrote "The Way to Heaven" Posted "You have to ask..." EXORCISE: 3-25: 300(50)/200(8)/250/500(5) = 1263. 10:01-10:34. 86-91°. AQI 101. 3-26: 300(50)/300(12)/300(20)/300(7) = 1289. 09:56-10:44. 82-91°.

Bogs. Carolyn/Elizabeth/Elycia To Anni Pon Blogging is a bust. My blog collects dust. I'm tired of begging, shedding, getting hurt. It has no ambiance, no audience, spare purpose. Even my focused blogs don't work. People prefer re-posting memes and monetizing rage; AI pictures of people and flowers instead of the real thing [reality]. It's the age we live in... sadly. Newsfeed is a good option. A short blogette for those who want soundbites with a link for those who want more. ... Lost in the night, feel the bedbugs bite and the mosquitoes buzz. Lost in nightmares, angst and regrets, trapped in [dying for] what never was. |
