Last night I went to sleep feeling pretty optimistic. While I still wasn’t feeling great I thought my cough was now a dry cough which seemed promising. My plan was to head out to the orphanage in the morning and then come back so I could rest. The plan didn’t go so hot as I woke up feeling just as awful as before and the phlegm was back! Dislike!
I did head out to breakfast and ran into my new Australian friends who told me about their day yesterday. I also went to get more water and strepsils (this time I got the cooling ones, so far I love them!) On my way back in I saw my first little salamander. Last year when I was in Vietnam I had a salamander that I accidentally de-tailed (I was really trying to be nice and move him out of the way) so maybe this is his baby!
I laid around for a little while and next thing I knew I was waking up, lights on and everything. I hadn’t sleep for that long, but my little nap felt good, although I felt like an old lady falling asleep in the morning with the lights on! I decided I should venture out for lunch and I also needed some more cough syrup. This woman was prepared because when I asked for cough syrup she said, “dry or phlegm” so now I have some new stuff to try! Its raspberry flavored which I was very excited about, but it’s gross. Oh well! I then decided Subway was going to be it lunch and I saw a man there today that I think was “corporate”. He looked Western and was speaking to the man I spoke to the other day. I figured if this whole study abroad career doesn’t work out, maybe I can manage international Subways! I have also noticed that I get about half the “stuff” I get in my sandwich at home! I am sure these “portions” are correct, but when you look at my sandwich it looks like there is nothing in it! I remember last year Mom, Lorna and I were in Thailand and went to Dairy Queen for blizzards (are you noticing a trend) are their larges were our smalls!
I apologize that my blogs have been so boring lately, but that has pretty much been my life! I am so thankful for a nice room to be able to stay in so I can feel better, but I really miss my kids and am actually scared to go back to see Thoung..hopefully he will forgive me!
I cannot wait for my mom to come! Hopefully she won’t read this before she gets here (I don’t think she will) but she LOVES frozen grapes (if you haven’t tried them, they are good!) Grapes are a tough commodity around here, BUT my fruit stand has them, so I went and got her some and just put them in the “freezer” (which doesn’t really freeze..so we will see how that works out). She also loves Mountain Dew, which I have NOT been able to be find, although I have one more place in mind.
I guess I fell asleep again in the afternoon, which I hope means I will be able to sleep tonight (although for a day of doing nothing, I am exhausted!) I promise tomorrows blog will be better because 1) regardless of how I am feeling I am going to the orphanage and 2) MY MOM IS COMING!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Hugs and kisses from a girl who can’t wait to see her mommy!
