 |   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.

| So... my daily check-off list isn't working like it did in Thailand. Read poetry. Write something. Talk to people. Clean the place. Take a walk. Take photos. Study Thai/Lao. Keep in touch. I'm not accomplishing much. Revised "To the mountains that would hem me in:" I am reading "Dragonfire" and hope to be halfways finished today. I'm editing old poems and must enter contests by tomorrow. I'm keeping in touch with Pan (daily) and others. I don't feel as alone and isolated. But I'm not exercising or walking. I'm not cleaning. My eating is erratic. I feel okay but I'm dog-paddling i.e. not going anywhere.  30th: Finished "Dragonfire"... now to read an anthology of poems. Revised some old works. "Photo Exhibition at Aimee's" "Properly clothed" I feel ghosted. 31st: Working on entries on the last day. Received 2 nice and helpful reviews by BKC. I forgot about the monthly Short Shots challenge but now have an idea... perhaps not the time. Started reading an anthology. Entered some contests. 1st: Pan is giving up the condo so he messaged me. I wish I were there to help. I'm not. Up early and out. Walked to market and Butterfly Herbs. Finished episode 1 of "He's coming to me". 2nd: Walked to buy food. Smelled irises along the way. Not too cold. Cooked. Ate a stew of parsnips-potatoes-pasta. Read a little, watched a little, did very little. 10.863 |
