And then...

Continuing from my last post...

Sunday another English teacher at my school (again a Korean teacher who teaches English) Ms. Chow, took me to Herb Island. This isn't actually an Island but instead on top of a mountain. Beautiful area with a huge green house, herbs, lavender, restaurants, a bakery, and Santa land that is there year round. We had a good time walking around, it was quite hot and standing among Christmas trees and listening to Silent Night in 80 degree weather was a it questionable. I bought some yummy herb mint tea, spent far too much money on some bread but enjoyed the day as it was a nice relaxing drive and we even had 15 minute chair massages.

I think the weekend tuckered me out as I began to get sick Monday evening and by Tuesday afternoon I had all the flu symptoms. I missed my first 2 days of work being ill in bed. Oi! I tell ya, there is nothing more fun than laying in an uncomfortable bed being sick for nearly 3 days. To top it off on Weds, I was finally napping when I heard a mans voice. I rolled over only to find a Korean man standing in my apartment! Yeah, had I not been so sick I think I would have freaked out a bit more. He was there to do some repairs, but hadn't told anyone that he was going to be there. A bit unnerving but I just rolled over and fell back asleep.

 Then later that day I had about 5 other people in and out of my place as I was finally getting the internet connection in my house set up. YAY!!! I have internet at home!!! It is sooo nice and fast and I feel like I am connected to the rest of the world again. Thankfully Annie was there talking to the service men. Both Annie and Lisa kept trying to get me to go to the hospital and were quite worried about me. Luckily I had plenty of water and crackers. I tell ya, this has been one of the greatest weight loss plans ever!!! hahaha
