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.

?Charlie: "Opt out? Loan forgiveness would help but that would cost $$$ and there are societal forces unwilling to allow that. I choose to live on less, but that's not an easy option for those who are faced with barely getting by with food and shelter. I'd say move to Nebraska or Thailand and work remotely; but, even if that were your dream, reality bites. I'd say: "say no" but if you're merely a cog they can find a replacement; as in, you replaced someone, someone replaced you, you are replaceable. *Sad* Cheerful, aren't I. " re "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.

?Cappucine: "I'm facing decisions as I start to fade. I day-dreamed as a child and never fully got out of the haze induced by depression and disappointment. Now I see the fog gathering around me, uncertain whether it's mist or morphine, not sure whether it matters. Thanks for sharing your real life. The prompts seldom encourage it." re "counsel Open in new Window.

?Jenn: "Impressive organization of time. Good insight: "I don't do creative work when my kids are awake; I can become a massive asshole whenever I'm trying to do something creative but I keep getting interrupted." I do wonder about diet... adult and children have different needs. I loved rice as a child; still do. That will come handy when I visit Thailand some day. " re "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.

LeJen: {c:}"Unplugged? Watt's that? I vaguely remember those days when I lived unplugged. How did I manage?" re "Down Time - 30DBC 11/18Open in new Window.

Petra: {c:}"Good to live in a different time zone... sometimes. *Hearto*" re "Zzzzzz!Open in new Window.

Marvilla: {c:}"Good to read that you are feeling better. *Hearto*" re "Great shutdown of 2021Open in new Window.

Ray: {c:}"I am totally worn out. I still get ideas (those tend to annoy regardless) but my effort to deal with them ebbs and flows. My income is a gov't check, so writing isn't my income. I'm old so no one expects much, except for artists older than me (artists never retire). No obligations, no responsibilities... but it's important to get out of bed and do something... and some days it doesn't seem worth it. So I get things done on those days when I have the energy. I slog through the other days. It'll be good to have you back (thick skull *Headbang* and all *Bigsmile*)." re "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.

QP: {c:}"Somedays the mundane is helpful in getting through the day. *Smile*" re "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.

Sonali: {c:}"Time zones do have their up-sides. Thailand is 12 hours difference from WDC and when I do visit it'll seem quite odd... especially if I have to make a call." re "We are there! - #30DBCOpen in new Window.

NormaJean: {c:}"Hope your eyes improve. But having a doctor check your eyes is a good option; have someone else drive. Montana will be one of those quaint places stuck in 1889 or 1989 that the technologically advanced and wealthy Chinese and others will visit in 2189..." re "You Only Have 2Open in new Window.

Sue: {c:}"There's a partial eclipse of the moon tonight here. Saw the moon last night, but what are the chances of clouds? Plus, it's not a convenient hour. Time zones... tricky. When I get to Thailand... *sigh* there's only one hours difference." re "Sleeping Open in new Window.

Robert: {c:}"I don't know how to build a boat or fly a plane. But, I know enough not to pester those who do... at least not while moving. I neither swim nor fly." re "ExperienceOpen in new Window.

Tina: {c:}"Well, you're crafty, this makes sense. Hope the peace offerings with the neighbors calms them down. Some people need more 'hugs' than others. " re "Invalid EntryOpen in new Window.

Sandy: {c:}"If my mittens and gloves are ready and at hand, winter will assume it has been invited to visit. *Snow3* Idling is what I've been doing since I was grounded March 2020. And I'm still not in gear (cluttch may be broken). Give my regards to the dust bunnies." re "IdlingOpen in new Window.

Mike: {c:}"Ah... the muse played hooky. 10 demerits to (of which Hogwarts House is your Muse a member?). But at least you got other important stuff done."
re "An off day on a day off [30 DBC entry]Open in new Window.

Viv: {c:}"I went to bed early then looked at the moon last night... nice haze around it. But the partial eclipse is tonight. This is how my life goes."

Sox: {c:}"An MOE by the name of Toni... there's a rap song somewhere in my thoughts... Heck yes, we want to see what Toni wants us to see! *Clap* Of course, we may not be capable of processing and understanding whatever that is. It does seem to fit the prompt though. A rip in our 'verse so to speak."
