Sunday weekend words
This is me coming back and hiding out in our bedroom as more Khmer family visits. These particular family units are not my favorite ones. I won’t do things that may involve them because of some things done to other people. It was particularly nasty twice and involved drinking. People that can’t control their baser and more violent instincts should not get involved with alcohol. It just removes the usual barriers and a person can act out the way they feel inside.
It’s one thing to peacefully state feelings. It’s something else to engage in personal violence. Yet sometimes here I think people just let it go. Like saying,
Oh… that was yesterday. It already happened. Nothing we can do.
Sorry. Like I told my daughter here people are responsible for their actions. What they did and said they are accountable for. So I just will not be around them. I’m not particularly social anyways so people just think it’s more how I am.
The whole drinking culture here builds all that in people. It’s just ok to do things. No one says they own it. Except for me. It’s not a popular belief. But it’s mine.
It’s moving to evening. There’s people here. My wife loves and lives for that. Her sister will wash clothes and clean. Cook meals and offer food to me. It’s easiest for me to just stay away. Tomorrow I’ll just do like all the other days. Leave and take you with me. See you then.
It’s tomorrow today
Turned to Sunday. I guess puppies either destroyed the front yard or slept. Or both. It’s the middle of the holiday days. Rain stopped. It will likely be pretty out today. Writing in the mornings seems a treat to me. Last up and maybe I will let GitHub and vercel have its way is my coffee and walking out.
I’ve reached a fun stopping point with the blog. Added little things like reading time and related articles. Media embeds. Overall for me the site just works how it is. Figuring out things is the biggest joy and challenge. Maybe though I am never really done. Meanwhile the folks at pika have been adding things. Nice writing tools but I rarely used their web editor. I preferred the micropub thing which meant the writing stayed in my app. I don’t need some other app just to write. Perhaps why static sites seem a better fit. I do like leaving some stuff up to others. It’s still easy for me to simply break 11ty. Because I do boneheaded things to the site. Coming back to where it was is not hard.
So anyways. This is that and that’s where am. See you in a bit for the walk and coffee. I’ll resist another photo of coffee since it’s the same. The nicest thing really is getting away. The house is too crowded. Easy for me to just go.
Same with writing here. I get done and will sit and enjoy this beautiful Siem Reap morning.
