5 septembre

AQ was poor overnight. 152 right now. A pleasant 67 degrees though.

Napped yesterday so I went to bed very late and got up late. I have no plans today. Little to nothing I can take care of on a Labor Day weekend.

Rent's paid. WDC is due end of October.

Maybe I can resolve my eye issues?

Using new computer. I'll probably leave it at home when/if I travel.

¯\_( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)_/¯

Cooked lentils and rice with chicken and added onion, garlic and paella spice. Very good. Also roasted half a buttercup squash.

I told Apondia: "I try to be useful. The young travelers get it; but, people who know nothing but school and work might think I'm using up their oxygen and that I'm in the way.

I wasn't good at practicing while young. Still not disciplined. In spite of all that I'm learning Thai... slowly... there is no rush.

They can put

ที่นี่มีผี
(here lies a ghost)

on my gravestone. It actually looks awesome! It has the same vowel throughout "tee-nee-mee-pee".

I roasted buttercup squash with rosemary in my toaster oven today. I boiled rice and lentils with chicken and paella spices on the stove. If I didn't have either I know how to open a can. I haven't tried an air fryer but if I ever get to travel rural Isan a.k.a North-East Thailand (around Maha Sarakham) I may experience who-knows-what made who-knows-how. I'm looking forward to that."

Day is already warming up. 67 @ 11 a.m. Very bad AQI @ 146. I do need to get some cleaning done but bad air and any heat make the chore much worse.

Received a purty rainbow ribbon. Third place for "Sit next to the fire, as close as you dare [99] Soltices" . I don't normally write villanelles.

81 calm degrees at 7. It cleared up. AQI = 54. May dip into the high 40s tonight. More yellow on the trees. Quiet.
