it is nearing 10pm here and i just made coffee. luckily, it doesn’t affect my sleeping.
remember how i don’t know a lot of thai words? well, the ones i do know i can say fairly well. sometimes, though, this is problematic. for example: today while i was at the grocery store, i said “thank you” in thai to the cashier. she then started saying words that i didn’t understand. i’m guessing she was either trying to a) carry on a conversation or 2) inform me of an upcoming markdown on guava. regardless, sometimes i feel bad because i would love to be able to fully communicate with these people, but thai is soooo hard to learn. in due time, cashier lady. in due time.
along the lines of the grocery store, i bought two jars of jam. however, to my dismay, i didn’t need to purchase jam because i have 1.25 jars left… which brings the grand total of jam in our household to a whopping 3.25 jars. also, i think i was charged too much for avocados.
tomorrow (tuesday) is the queen’s birthday here, so everyone has the day off. and then the following day is *ahem* someone else’s birthday… but everyone has to work. and eat cake (the food, not the person i often refer to). i love birthdays. annnd cake.
currently here is my birthday wish list:
snow
stars
fireworks
that’s not too much to ask for, right? fortunately, i don’t have high expectations for these gifts…
have a good monday and make sure to check how much jam you have before making a purchase.
