Bibimbap 비빔밥

by Kåre เลียม Enga

Rated: 13+ · Book · Biographical · #2296648

Left-overs piled on hot rice and mixed.

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.

I finally decided to use June 2022's entries for my responses to other bloggers' entries. I tend to do this daily anyways and post in my weekly 'catch-all' blog (added to every day} "Porthole"

In response to ""Happy to meet you again" Bard's Hall Entry #12 June 2024"

Ẃeβ࿚ẂỉԎḈĥ My traumas are small, my tragedies not unique... but they're mine (can't even give them away). My need to write and journal stems from unresolved issues. But... once the pen or pencil is put on a piece of paper... thoughts and images become words. That's the real power of writing. Where my words end up is not up to me. I think of old diaries... what a pleasure it would be to read them.

I wonder what I'll write about next year.

Kåre เลียม Enga Your entries are filled with deeply personal discoveries, and coping with loss along the way. It paints a huge picture of your life page after page.

I'm still in awe of how much you have been able to accomplish in spite of the traumas and tragedies. I believe your words will live on.

Thank you for entries in the June Blogging contest. They had a way of gripping us readers in a profound way. I agree about the tagging in the entries. It made it so much easier to find and to respond quicker.

Thank you!

In response to ""Getting lost" Bard's Hall Entry #7 June 2024"

StephBee I think I have a map in the back of my mind. After a long tiring flight to Lisbon in 2015 I went directly to the metro, changed lines, took the "ascensor" up the hill, turned right and walked to my hostel. I could draw a picture if I had to. Same with elementary school, high school, college then university... I might get turned around for a minute but... no problem. After 35 years I had no trouble finding the house I lived-in in San Jose, CR.; same with my grandparent's place after over 20 years. My aunt was sceptical but I just knew by the slope of the land (confirmed by the big white tires that were still there).

Elycia Lee ☮ What a wonderful ramble!

At times I do rant in my blog. Not every entry mind you. That would be boring... and I'm not depressed every moment even when I'm depressed in general.

I'm not a fun person. I don't seek out the party. It's usually enough to be in a safe place surrounded by lessons I need to learn. In Udon Thani, isolation was the problem.

Traveling can be educational. It isn't the same as living in a place. I felt like I was living in Thailand. I wasn't having fun.

I originally planned to return in July. Now I don't know. It'll be great to revisit though.

Loss of health. Bard's Hall Entry #8 June 2024

My health is failing. Much of that is my own fault.

I lament that I live in a backwards country... but still don't go to the doctor.

Teeth: had perfect teeth growing up. They now need to be pulled. I need implants or dentures.

I'm having problems eating certain things.

Legs: neuropathy or psoriasis or both? I've had DVT three times but this seems unrelated.

I monitor swelling but itching and broken skin is a bad sign.

Circulation... I was diagnosed with high blood pressure after being homeless. I need to find out whether there is blockage, whether I need a stent, whether I need meds or a diet or both.

Shortness of breath limits me at times.

Mind... slipping! But I don't know how badly... and whether I should be concerned.

I try to stay active but I've often had too much on my mind. I need reminders.

I was healthier in Thailand: my skin, my diet, my daily exercise... and Pan helping and checking on me.

Bottom line: I'm not taking care of myself.
