getting ready to go north


I can tell from reading the blog where I put the text in while I add pictures that the spell checker thinks it is an editor. Yesterday, when buying my airport bus ticket, I tried to explain English.... as in what is the difference between son and sun ...I did not get into chili (con carne) and Chili, NY which are spelled the same but pronounced differently. I am struggling with my sleep clock... I “passed out” getting a foot massage so either I am getting numb to any discomfort or I am drinking more Chung that I think. I am determined to be able to walk right up to the Wat with three worship areas. I checked the map and counted the streets.....and then went to river stop N4...and started walking... When I came to the end of the street...which should not be and is not on my map, I went into a bank and asked where this was.....long way back. My knee was tired.. and I had walked several miles.....but I was going to find it... and when I got to a corner with the traffic going one way as it said on the map...I turned the corner and walked another block... hundreds of people where going in...all with incense and candles and resolutions and old and young and and and. Well...it is now under repair so you can see the statues but it is not the same. I could not find the English fortune sheets....so I did not toss the sticks.... I then walked back to N4 and taxied to 13 and walked home. I must admit, I did a Joe and took a nap...mmm delicious. I watched some Aussie TV and the Canadian version of Whip Out...
The lofou which I thought had closed is open so I had a great soup, eggplant/rice, roasted cashews and a large and small Chang. It is spelled Chang but pronounced Chung. It is then that is when I ventured to the massage....very very good... but I a starting to get a few bruises.
When I get to CM I will buy a wash cloth. Forgot they don't use them..and if I am going to keep my beautiful glow....need to scrub.....so when I return next month...it is not three cottons of black dots which she said came from my otherwise perfect face...and oh please say...seaweed....and mean it... If Kim is a tired as I have been..we will probably do the long tail canal tour...
I had to do a BIG step to get out of the water taxi...and nothing ripped...so I can do that.
I have spent a great deal of time..getting “a” place for each item in my duffel. I can find anything in the dark or with my eyes closed. The net bags make a great difference and my dirty laundry in the bottom make me appear as if I have don't this before. I am going to try to hook up with Bonnie in CM – she is the one that gave me the pillow last year. I will work on getting my scooter tonight..and Tomorrow is ChineseDDr and acu at 9:30 massage at 2 and dinner with hHenryand hHannah6.....Thurs dentist.

 Wow, it is easy to slip into a similar pattern to what I had at home. I produced a plan to change many things - delete more emails, eat hea...
