There have been so many changes in life over the last two months -- many worth recording somewhere, sometime, like on this blog perhaps, but I've been laid low by a nagging chest infection that has seen me hit the sack very shortly after getting the kids to bed. I've been a lame, feeble person and I hate it.
Finally, this week, I self-prescribed some penicillin, went down to the drugstore and got some, and after two nights of fever and sweats I think I've finally come out the other side.
And illness has been a handy excuse, too, for my avoidance of writing since I'm harbouring many dark thoughts that I'm afraid to bring to light.
Deaths and dreams of death do not make for easy writing.
Nor does life and life's dreams.
I guess that's the point.

Even if you aren't publishing it, I hope you are finding ways to express it.

Sorry you've been having a rough time. Hope that things start to look up. Been missing your writing, but I do understand the need to lay low sometimes. Take care...
As a regular, north american reader for some time now, who finds your life circumstances intriguing (especially since I was lucky enough to visit Thailand myself recently, and can now have a better vision of the things you describe), I have missed your updates and unique 'insider' insights into Thai culture and society. However, having left a couple of dormant blogs in my wake myself over the years -- i can fully understand the very capricious nature that the motivation and energy to journal, and personally express oneself publicly, can be subject to....
