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.

         Monday, April 1st, a yellow day. Very hot. 88 at 9 in the morning and 88 at 9 in the evening. 95 at noon. 100 later. Pan cooked and went to school and then to 'fitness'. Not back yet. No word. Saw Paulo. He was getting ready to paint. No a/c at his new place; hopefully fixed by now. April is a hot miserable month punctuated by the New Year on April 13th with a 'water festival'. After a week of 100+ temps we'll be more than ready. Short walk. Worn out.

         Tuesday, April 2nd, a pink day. Went up to 104° but humidity was low. Pan not here. Lost my internet in the afternoon and too late to renew. Long walk to Central Mall. Gung read cards to me: at a crossroads. Earth gave me extra roti. Exercise as usual but internet goals suffered. Cooked pickled squid.

         Wednesday, April 3rd, a green day. Only 100 maybe? Internet restored (320 baht) after long walk to Central Mall. After exercise I used internet in Tower B library and later in Tower C lobby. Watched "We are" on and off. Spent most of the day trying to stay cool. Songkran booths are up. Ate duck.

         Thursday, April 4th, an orange day. Went up to 104°. Short walk to Lotus. Ate noodles and shopped with Pan. Swam... just a little. Did minimum exercise due to heat and bad air. Saw Paulo&Sayan. Pan cleaned (waxed?). Got 5 liters of water. Ate leftovers in the morning. Eating too much bread. Drinking as much as I can. Wrote a haiku.

         Friday, April 5th, a sky-blue day. 104 degrees or maybe more. Saw P'Nan, went to market (twice), took picture of golden-rain tree, wrote a haiku and a rant. Cooked. Tried to stay cool. Not working at the moment. Pan went to work-out. I did a very short swim (forgot my goggles and towel). Got 5 more liters of water. Trying to stay hydrated, Scrubbed toes.

         Saturday, April 6th, a purple day. 103 degrees. Saw P'Nan. Cut exercise short as heat and air were both bad. 5 more liters of water. Must increase liquid intake. Pan gets a haircut, buys food: *Bananas* *Pig*, and mini-scissors for my coffee. I took a short swim when others were around; shortness of breath is the main issue. Added another couple blog entries.

         Sunday, April 7th, a red day. 102 degrees. Saw Noi; spoke with a Minnesotan. No long walks (dangerous heat). pan goes to Mukdahan. I received a merit badge so I made this into an item "Softball (circa 1986)Open in new Window. Posted on the Newsfeed about "Eclipse". No swimming. Bad air. Watched BL.
