I’m at about 90% this morning. I feel even better since I just came back to my place from a massage (ahhhhh!) and another of Brian’s doses of Vitamin C. My plan is to get back to the gym starting Monday morning.

This afternoon Brian and I will go to the cafe to get out of Khun Nong’s -my housekeeper’s – way while she cleans my place. As usual, I’ll take my sketchbook and supplies, Kindle, plus sweatshirt with me. I now have some ear buds to use with my phone to listen to music on YouTube, but it’s a little much to try to use those with my hearing aids in. (One of the many perks of getting old. 😁) If I can snag the table at the front window, I’ll enjoy goggling at the insane traffic…

I took some thank you cards to my massage therapist (Khun Weaw) and the lady who also works there who substituted for my therapist once (Khun Sulee.) I remembered how to say ‘thank you’ in Thai (sounds like, “cawp coon ka’ah!” plus bow and do the ‘wei’🙏🏻 while the cards were in both of my outstretched hands together to show they were for each of them. 🙂 I can’t WRITE ‘thank you’ in Thai, so just hope they have a translator on their phones. From their faces, I think I got it across how thankful I am for them.

It’s a beautiful day here in Chiang Mai. It was 63 this morning and is supposed to get to 89 this afternoon. (The only reason I’m taking my sweatshirt to the cafe is that they tend to keep the temperature like a freezer for some reason, and both Brian and I tend to freeze after being there a while 🥶)
Make this a great day!

I am sooo glad you are feeling better, Linda!
i love the spirals of the tails in the thank you cards!! So cute!
I am glad the weather is warming there and don’t know why they keep it so cold in the cafe either. But you prepare well!
Glad the orange juice has helped you!!

Thanks. I think it’s the high doses of vitamin C rather than the orange juice that has helped. I usually have sore throats and colds hang on and on, and this one has progressed quickly. I’m glad you liked the ‘tails.’ :0).

I understand, Linda. The vitamin C is the only vitamin our Qigong teacher years ago ever suggested my husband and I take. Isn’t that funny? She was a little old lady from China! We loved her but she was strict! Ha!

After using it for this, my very unscientific study considers it a wonder drug.

p.s. I had NO IDEA how many monasteries were in Nepal!

I knew there were a lot. I can see one in the mountains from where I live. Our son spent a month at one in Nepal one year, studying.
