:: listening to the monks chanting in the temple beside our hostel.
:: clearing my throat. Everyone seems to smoke in these parts and it is doing a number on my respiratory system.
:: losing my voice as a result of the above.
:: wishing I were home. This is the first time I have been homesick and it is because there are some big changes happening at home and I wish I was there to participate/help/love people.
:: smelling sewage. Nothing new there.
:: adjusting to being in South East Asia. It is so much different than South America, as I knew it would be, but it sucks to be back out of our groove. You know?
:: organizing our migration to Laos. Soon and very soon we will be floating down a river toward Luang Prabang.
:: appreciating how delicious Thai food is. It is exceptional and by far the best food we have had all trip.
:: looking forward to cooking lessons tomorrow. We rescheduled this morning because I woke up unable to talk.
:: salivating at the thought of the yummy food I will be surrounded by all day tomorrow.
:: sweating. Just a bit.
:: reminding myself that I'm so lucky to be here. I don't take any convincing, but I enjoy being fully present and grateful for this adventure.
:: perusing photos on Facebook -- mainly old ones I have taken.
:: willing someone back home to wake up so I can chat with them. I'm not even sure what the time difference is, but I feel as though you guys should be waking up soon, no?
:: planning adventures for the summer when I am home. I have plenty of catching up to do and I want to make the summer as full and friend-filled as possible.
:: remembering to enjoy and appreciate this moment too rather than just looking forward to being home.
:: conversing with my husband. It is funny how we can spend every moment of every day together and still manage to "miss" each other. We sometimes needs to have catch up days where we are intentional about talking with each other.
:: unraveling the baby booties I was trying to knit. The pattern has me stumped, but I will give it another go soon. Or maybe I will email the ladies back home at Art of Yarn for some help. I love them.
:: absorbing as much as I can. Thailand is beautiful and being thrown into another culture is outrageous and I love it!
:: decluttering my house even though I don't have one. I have enjoyed living with very little and would like to continue to do so when we get home. Well, maybe not very little, but definitely with less things than before.
:: commiting to having a clean house when I get home. This will make Erik happy.
:: gagging because people are horking and spitting outside my window. This is sadly very common.
:: resisting the urge to itch the bug bites that are covering my legs. They.Are.Driving.Me.Batty!
:: trying to remember where I put the postcard I wrote. I sent three away, but can't seem the find the last one. It is frustrating me!!!
:: giggling at the poem Erik just read me. He is reading The Cider House Rules and it is a great book (at least the bits he shares with me are).
:: bidding you all adieu. It is time for me to rest my weary eyes.
:: wishing you a wonderful Wednesday, wherever you are!!
