Sick all day. Pon fed me medicine one capful at a time.

Everyone sees a beautiful young man. Tall, very nice body, good skin, dresses nice, classy.
I see a young man, half-awake, eyes barely open, mussed up hair.
He smiles at me. I'm falling in love.

ทุกคนเห็นชายหนุ่มรูปงาม สูง หุ่นดี ผิวดี แต่งตัวดี มีระดับ
ฉันเห็นชายหนุ่มครึ่งหลับครึ่งตื่น ลืมตาแทบไม่ขึ้น ผมยุ่งเหยิง
เขายิ้มให้ฉัน ฉันตกหลุมรัก.

When he puts his leg across me while we sleep, I feel safe.

เวลาเขาเอาขามาคร่อมฉันตอนเราหลับ ฉันรู้สึกปลอดภัย

I told AL: At my age some things don't matter. My mother lived to 99. My father 82. Me? I'm in Thailand. Maybe I'll move here. Better than just waiting to die! Fear can kill... long before the body dies.

I just rented a place in Udon Thani. I did not foresee that. But I didn't foresee many things in my life. This could be a new stage in my life.

And, yes, there is more to this story...

Today I met Hannah from Pennsylvania (Colorado State) and we talked about expanding our horizons. Found out that Gay lived in Bahrain. And Markus from Germany wasn't feeling well. Neenee wanted me to pet her. I ate chicken and rice with soup. Soon I will go for a walk.

My trip is half over... or just beginning.

Not all plans work out.

Coffee and big slice of German cheesecake. 110 baht. Laap with greens. 80 baht.

Making decisions.

Sat with Michael from Surinam/Canada. He's wandering around looking for a place to settle... someday. A place with lots of wildlife, cheap, laid-back vibe. His search will continue to Laos, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Malaysia. Singapore is too expensive.

Bought cookies. 7-11... bought pepsi, pastel de nata.

I had laap (pork, spicy) and som tam (green papaya salad - fine but hard to eat).

Didn't do much, but that is what some days are like.

Advice from Australian Lay Hoe: take it slow, don't worry.
