If the USA had a decent health care system I might go to a doctor. The clinic here costs 30 baht, about $1; but, I'm not sure if that applies to visitors. Medical costs tend to be low and it's possible to stay in a hospital. I just try to not get sick.

I could use blood-work, attention to my feet and a therapist. I'm not doing well.

Winter brings 'cold' north-east breezes. The forecast is clear skies for the next ten days. 0% chance of rain though led to me being sprinkled upon.

We have no food in the apartment, or should I say "I"? Pannya comes back today but possibly for only one day. I did not sign up for staying alone and dealing with this loneliness is difficult.

I do have left-over rice to eat and I'm steaming rice with mango and papaya.

I'm definitely depressed. This could be my finale.

To Sorji's New Book is Out! in "A little confession and a lot of writing."  It's great when doctors don't argue. I wish insurance companies were that supportive.

I use Neosporin... what's the issue? Ah... googled it... contact allergen >>> rash. I still pack a small tube when I travel.

At least you're catching up on some writing. I've written some but get easily distracted. Good luck on NaNo.

To Shadow Prowler-Spreading Love in "Delightful Disaster?"  I've had plenty of culinary disasters but fortunately my mind forgets. I do try to eat whatever I cook. I did okay with rice this week.

It's finally 'winter' here in Udon Thani. Day temps may reach the 80s but night temps will be in the 60s. What a relief! I'll keep the balcony door open tonight.

It's hard to live in Thailand without a/c. The humid heat saps my energy.

I don't have an oven here, but there are plenty of sweets in nearby markets.

To Anotherdreamer in "Nov 16"  We go through stages. I'm not sure which stage I'm in but after one year in Thailand I feel a bit of a shift.

I follow routines just to remain flexible in mind and body. I'm shutting down slowly but I'm still here.
