 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.  My new new new blog is
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.

| 39 degrees at 1:28 a.m. I took naps earlier but need to sleep sometime soon. I'm deeply depressed. We'll see how that plays out. I feel paralyzed in some ways. Finished one writing on the 18th and the dishes are washed and I went out and actually cooked and ate. What more do I want? A life. A hug. A phone call or letter, messages and connections I'll never receive. 50 degrees at 12:34 p.m. I ended up oversleeping. The H2O is boiling. I do drink cold coffee but not right now.  Missed my friends this week. Should buy milk. Need to write something. I need to not get too involved in the NCAA basketball playoff. Gonzaga, Illinois! and Michigan look like the real deal. Maybe Houston. Kansas is toast. Yes, it's my alma mater but they don't have an offense and this is not their year. Could struggle to get to the Sweet 16. Among the women I'll take Maryland.  51 degrees at 5 p.m. Looked at "Verdant Poetry Contest"  and started working on an entry. I should focus and finish so I can either enter as is or edit. I really don't have as much interest in contests this month. Journalistic Intentions took the stuffing out of me and that contest was the most important as I can use what I wrote to possibly make a couple trinkets.Just a reminder that I'm behind in sending out postcards and letters. As I told Elle  international mail should be okay soon if not now. ![Merit Badge in Snail Mail

  PROMPT March 19th How are you different now than you were in the year 2010? What have been the most significant changes in your life in the last ten years? I moved to Montana in 2008 and returned to Costa Rica in 2009 and again in 2010. I had been to 3 countries (Canada doesn't count because I grew up on the border): Costa Rica (for a year), Panama (in passing), Peru (for a month). I had been here on WDC for 5 years and saw Blogville bloom and wither. In 2011 I visited WDC friends in England. It was the best vacation ever in my life at that time, and still is. I moved to Costa Rica at the end of 2011 and began to travel. But in retrospect there was a balance I didn't expect. What I gained by traveling around the world (2015) and visiting 39 more countries: Norway+, Sweden+, France, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany+, Denmark, Portugal+, Spain, Japan+, Australia, South Africa, U.A.E., Ireland, Kosovo+, Albania, Montenegro, Makedonia+, Bulgaria+, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia+, Romania, Taiwan+, Turkey, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, Croatia, Bosnia... Nicaragua, Mexico, Estonia+, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland (not in order, some more than once +), I lost in connections to local people. Some have died, moved away, moved on. Travel became my life. If movement = life, than I've been dying this past year. In my dotage I feel like all the enthusiasm and energy I had once has dissipated. My mind slips more and my body is less willing to move at all. There are days I barely get up the stairs. I have few friends, none are close. It's as if I'm a changeling, not at birth, but in old age. |
