wow. it's potentially my last week here. when i look around my room i wonder what i will do with some stuff, such as my lanudry line and the huge pink pig somebody won, couldn't take home, so gave to me. how do i clean the sheets to give back to the people when i have to sleep on them the night before i leave? where can i sell the hot water pot and electric frying pan? when should i sell them? and i hope the lady who will be purchasing my refridgorator will remember and come back to claim it and move it. what about the little table i bought and the clothes that i don't want anymore or can't fit into my bags? i need to buy that suitcase so i know what will fit and what won't, but when i do, things will feel really finalized. am i ready for that?

it's the beginning of rain season. today and tomorrow are holidays for the monks to return to temple, and the start of lent. Non said that thousands of people will meet at the wat on Pattaya Thai to ask Buddha for stuff. we will go tonight to ask for a good job for me in the states, security and advancement in his job, and for strength as a couple to endure time apart. it should be interesting and followed by Som Tom and sticky rice.

Non asked me what is the first thing I'll do when I get home. I thought for a minute and said 'swimming'. Good old Lake Michigan is calling me, and so is my violin. Hopefully when I settle there will be a band of sorts where I can play, maybe do weddings on the weekends and earn some extra dollars. I really miss the sound of it and the thought that it is I who made that sound. :) Perhaps you'll be in range to hear.

On to other things for a bit before workout and the rest of the evening. I am curious about the wat, I have been there before, but it will be interesting to go with Non. OH! My suit is finished, and GORGEOUS! It looks amazing. It's a total power suit that will impress. Yipee. old posts
