 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.

 28 ⛅The crocuses have been out for awhile. Trees are beginning to bud. Which flowers will burst forth next? I'll be eating smothered pork today... unless I leave it in the fridge and eat bologna instead. I'm having difficulty keeping track of the date and day of the week. Lack of routines will do that. There is scene at the end of 55:15 that haunts me. Jarunee's father has Alzheimers. She asks Bomb to look after him when she dies. She dies. He does. We see the old man lying on the bed uncovered. Bomb comes in and puts a blanket over him. That small act of kindness says a lot. Last week I was deathly ill. Tonight I'm fine; but, living alone has its complications. Who will look in on me? 42°F at 9 a.m. (or 3 in the morning in Thai as 6-12 is morning; the hours are divided into four parts). Coffee. And toast. In Thailand it may be 'donuts'. In Costa Rica, gallo pinto (a mix of rice and beans). In Norway, fish and cheese. 100 Micro: "A double date goes slightly awry when two girls begin to fall for each other’s boyfriends." Easy-peasy. While Porn (blessing) and Noinae (a fruit) are arguing/concerned/dreaming, their boyfriends are caught stealing a kiss in the restroom... or some such silliness! "Are they..." "kissing?" "..." "Yep." Eight: I want to continue the 8/6/7/5/6/4/5/3 with 4/2/3/1/2/_. The last couplet would read 'slashed to' ______. 63 degrees at 3 p.m. (or 3 in the afternoon in Thai). Mild, pleasant, did not wear a coat. Cottage cheese with gifted pears. Making rigatoni... for tomorrow. I'll be using red sauce and that's better after it sets for a day. I'm thinking of adding tuna and/or cheese before I eat it. I'm in a do-nothing mood. My experience with this is that I pay later.  29  Spending most of the day inside although I did get out. Dalton and Laxmi fattened me up with chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. Met Michael, the new chef, who is working on including vegetarian items on the Sr. Ctr. menu. Willie saw a man die this afternoon when she was shopping. She came back to the center to vent and de-stress. Apparent heart-attack. My supper: rice with garam marsala, mushrooms and pork. I am both properly hydrated and caffeinated today. Finished. Verdent: "Until the rains come"  Taboo: "Emerald treasure " Personify: "Ghost of tissues past" 1st Chapter: "A map to Hellenbach" 4 Children: "A Big Flashy Fun Rainbow Ball " Limerick: "Honeybuns" and "Ah... David (blush) [2 Limericks]" Panda: "Naw Ruz 179 [179.1]" Think about it: "McCarthy Forever!" Julia McCarthy was my mother's father's mother's mother from Ireland. The Irish rootlet shows up in our DNA. What is touching about what I wrote is that when I first sketched it at the beginning of March my mother, age 99, was still alive. She died March 15th, two months short of 100. I could only add the picture of McCarthy's Pub, but I have other photos of Dingle: sailboats, sheep, fish and mushy peas at Harrington's, graveyard, church... did I mention hillsides of sheep? White on green. Way too stressed out.   30 *cold*30°F at 8. Cold but clear and will warm up. Never went out and now poor internet connection.  Have one day more to finish up. I spent over 3 hours trying to buy airplane tickets. I may be gone April 17th - May 23rd. How I tolerate traveling will determine what I do the next two years. Details to come.  31  45°F 7°C in Missoula at 2 p.m. Windy, threat of rain. Dull, dreary. Great conversation with Angie, Jay and Billie Jo though. I told them my news. Now to finish those limericks... Done.  Pacing it... No bread in the house so I ate tortillas and now heating up beefy mushroom soup with pasta stars. I barely finished my contests. Missed one, but I ran out of time as usual and internet connection has been truly crappy. I have two immediate issues: phone and glasses. Also must figure out how to get covid test if I need one for Portugal. I'll need a ride, but the shuttle should be running. If not, a taxi. Flight is at 6:45 a.m. so I need to be there by 5:30. Small airport.  32 ⛅Bad internet again.  Went to see friends after 'watching' the World Cup draw. Costa Rica will face Germany and Spain if they get past New Zealand. They're surging, but November is a long ways away. And although they took out Italy 8 years ago, don't expect another upset of that caliber. I need to do research and booking for my upcoming trip. I need reliable internet because my nerves get shot otherwise. As far as recording thoughts in this blog... they are useful to me but totally ignored by WdC. 5694-5644 = 50 views in March. Comments? Katya, Lyn and Sarah = 3.  Great chat with Laxmi today about her upcoming Santiago walk, and three cruises (Sept-Nov) and about my trip to Portugal. John's plant died after 16 years. He said I could have the pot. I wonder how my plants will deal with the upcoming neglect. I haven't told them yet. It's Saturday morning in Maha Sarakham. 66/62 and rain. Odd for April. It's supposed to be 90/70, humid, dusty, dry. Strong North-east winds too. I'm considering June/July for Thailand and/or November. I did remember to buy food today. (Fish!) I didn't overbuy and I might give in and eat at the Senior Center for $5/meal the 11th-15th in preparation for cleaning out my fridge before my trip.

(rainy/hotel/dumps) The 'p' was critical. 35 degrees at 10:10 and dark. And  I have to work on the computer today so I want to go to Butterfly Herbs; but, it's cold and later it will be blustery. I seem to have lost my touch when it comes to writing. Not that that should ever stop a person. I'll write about my trip if nothing else. Writings fall into three categories: Won: 3rd  "Until the rains come" Verdent March 1st  "Emerald treasure " Taboo March3rd "A Big Flashy Fun Rainbow Ball " 4 Children MarchKinda... "Green ink" Bearbit April (5-way 2nd place)HM "A map to Hellenbach" 1st ChapterPending: Panda: "Naw Ruz 179 [179.1]" Think about it: "McCarthy Forever!"

David (blush) [2 Limericks]" LimerickI responded to Hooves re "The Gilded Age": "I looked it up. I don't have cable so I may never get to see it. I'm not fascinated by upper-class melodramas so I may skip it. It's interesting how little I have in common with folks here at WdC or in general. I watch Thai TV series but don't follow K-Pop. And... don't ask about music. I'm still stuck in the 70s and 80s , even though I do watch some talent shows.Glad you have found a show you enjoy.  " KU vs NC on Monday night. I'm a Jayhawk. Found a Jayhawk to download.I'm still looking for an emoji. Trip is coming together. Stressed over getting back as I have a 6 a.m. flight on a Monday. One place has a bus at 4:13 that will get me there in time. But details... A3  Fog... lifting. No morning wisdom before coffee. No wisdom after coffee either. Look elsewhere for the answer. Internet is so unreliable that it's 'dangerous' to use. I can't depend on it to save or reload. Singapore is expensive but not so bad if I only stay there for 4 days like I did once in Paris. It would be a good option if flights to/from Bangkok have a long layover. 5682 |
