At home in Thailand we do something similar. At home, we make rice and top it with whatever we didn't finish from the last meal.

Out in the backyard after dark? Yep. I've rethought my exorcise routine but today I missed the morning. It's okay when it's overcast or once the sun goes down. I did the usual. Nighttime is different though. Each lamp post had its resident gecko. And it was quiet.

Yes, I do need people. I try to visit Surada most every day in the late afternoon. Saw P'Nan and her sister Noy. Went out with Rube from Israel (his room, #7, is huge). I ate fried fish. He had his usual fried chicken filet. Family in Israel is suffering and he's unsure of his plans.

The air-quality isn't good. There are warnings in Bangkok; but even here, the air is stagnant. Hopefully they have changed their burning policies or I won't be able to breathe.

Pan left for Sisaket. His friend drove. He sent pictures of going down the highway. *Rolleyes* I responded with *Fishp*. He should take his meds at 9 pm so I reminded him. I can't provide much support.

I didn't take a long walk. Routines suffer when I get overwhelmed. I did manage to watch the beginning of a new Thai BL series. Not impressed. I find high-school settings to be cliche. I was confused at first because I know the actors from other series. Channel 25 has series (not all of them BL) at 20:30 and I try to watch them. I learn something about culture and language. Much better however if I rewatch on youtube with subtitles. Once I know the story I can focus on other aspects... such as conversational Thai.

So... blogs... my goal is to comment on 3/day. More people are blogging in November. Both Andre and BCoF have challenges going. I participated in the last 30 day blog challenge a couple years ago. Not sure that my contribution helped; 30dbc has been dead since. Burned out by reading over 400. Gave out merit badges... not this year.

I bought food the day before Pan left. I now have to eat it all before it goes bad. Not amused am I. No graham crackers or peanut butter though. Imports are expensive. I do have a bag of peanut satay mix though...

If I had a cat *Cat* or dog *Dog1* I could share my food. *Heartbroken*

To AnotherDreamer in "Nov 3-AOpen in new Window. I need people. When I want privacy I close the door.
I live in a condo. When I want nature I walk down alleys, around the lake, along the tracks.
I used to live in my garden... a long long time ago.

The orchids are getting ready to bloom, blooming, spent. The far hills on the horizon hidden by the haze.

As a child I learned how to sit with paper and pencil in the closet, stayed up after others were in bed. We had three sets of encyclopedias.

Now I share a small space. We get along fairly well.

Today Pan leaves to attend to family matters. I will go to the corner 7/11, walk the alleys, visit the market. I will miss him.

I open windows for 'fresh' polluted air. No gas in this place. But I grew up with the danger of CO poisoning. Story was that once I woke up the family... but I don't remember. Neighbors weren't quite as lucky, but lived.

I will cook and clean and... for myself this week. I will cope.


To Spirit🍁🍂Writer in "Happy Friday 😁 exhausted but here I be y'all!Open in new Window. "I liked the opening of "Let No Man Write My Epitaph"; kid is charming. No time to watch right now however.

I try to read blogs every day and comment (old timers used to comment... nowadays few do). My NaBloPoMo entries will be made up of my comments I made on blogs plus whatever comes to mind.

My mechanical skills aren't stellar but I once successfully installed black pipe for a gas line!

Is the cat crate for cats? Or am I missing something?"


Pumpkin Spice Sox in "National Sandwich Day - What's your favorite?Open in new Window. "I don't eat many sandwiches in Thailand; but, Pan brings me back something from 7/11 most every day. Today... chocolate milk, chicken, rice (why?). He thinks I'm starving; I'm not, just old with a clunky funky metabolism.

Dogs are expressive; cats more subtle. Japanese? Thankfully, Thai actors are very expressive. Much easier to watch than talking heads.

I'd gladly eat graham crackers with peanut butter. Do you deliver?"
