Mikes Writing

early morning blogging

Comes a time this morning when I decide to write I guess. Read some on mastodon. Went back to the howto on my 11ty blog and decided on a few things to add. Then I will work on the css to pretty it up a little.

It’s also early. I don’t much like early. So since I don’t feel sleepy again yet I just can write. I don’t know what. I got my new visa back. Good for a year. Some of my wife’s friends have been sick. She was for over a week. I’ve not been. I feel very good these days with the walking and yoga I do. Been getting these walks in that my body tells me are just right. Sometimes u go look at step counts. I don’t think they matter to me but lately been getting about 12k steps each day. Also do about 30 minutes of restorative yoga after. I hate missing days. When I do I feel lousy and out of sorts.

My new blog toy is coming along. I added rss and atom support and a photo gallery. Still want draft posts and search.

Getting tired. Think will put this down and see if sleep comes again.

6am is nicer

Later. Now things feel better. I can do this. Some coffee. A walk. Thursday in Cambodia. From now until I go for a walk is time spent listening to morning sounds here. Southeast Asia will always seem different. There’s this thing I once called “the edge” about it. This feeling life goes to some other place. Where each day seems to balance there. And it’s the feeling of uniqueness. Like this edge that envelops all Cambodia is different than that edge in Vietnam. I can feel it and perhaps it’s what makes most places here feel different. Better. More alive. And it’s the sliver of life I feel best in.

Our mom is visiting from province. She does for us. She speaks no English but the hugs are legendary and go past spoken words. This morning she got me rice soup. Its a wonderful local thing. With some bread and a little spicy goodness it makes a morning. I don’t usually do breakfasts so it is nice to have a treat.

Now it will be time to find another thing. Some coffee. A walk. The morning is really beautiful. These days! So will get this finished when I get to whatever coffee zone I find myself in.

my coffee zone

This morning a walk through the big market. Another stop. Another edge. This writing started too early. I did sleep more I think. Down to Fame Coffee. This stop always seems like a good place. The AC goes strong. WiFi is good. Coffee always wonderful.

It dawned on me with my new blog toy I need to combine rss feeds. Now my photo gallery and the main blog are in different collections. Can’t have that. So this afternoon is finishing a few things. Now I’ll work on coffee.
