To my American friends "Happy Thanksgiving."

I'm celebrating the day "Home Alone, eating spring rolls."
I'm quite content though.  Spent the morning at the hospital mental health clinic.

I am in the fifth week of taking Quomem.  According to the brochure it takes six to seven weeks till they become effective and I stop smoking.

One of the side effects has been insomnia.  I'm only getting four hours of sleep per day and that's causing other health problems.

This evening I will start taking medication which should let me sleep for a longer period.  The side effect of this medication may cause drowsiness even during my waking hours.  So I may not be driving anywhere for a few days.

I'm impressed

Somebody in the information office is really on the ball.  Used to be you'd be lucky you'd hear of an event taking place a day or so before the event took place.  That seems to have changed. Phu Phan Cup schedule was announced a month in advance.
18 - 28 December


The 2018 Red Cross Fair received two month advance notice
January 12 -21


Christmas Starlight parade
December 20-24

 Not yet announced are the dates for the customary Temple Fair held in early January

Many people are quite keen on eating bugs, not me. Keep in mind that you're getting the entire bug, so don't be surprised if your breath smells like CRAP. 
Saw a couple roaches approach my abode. Best solution is talc (baby powder). Roaches and other crawlers tend to stay away.

Of course Dish soap is a handy and safe alternative
