ups and downs

thanks to Reffa for keeping our readers posted on everything.. I haven't been very good. hehehe
I am doing extra classes today and my other goals for the day are to buy a mattress for the new bed, and to buy a bike (just a push pedal) to get around town on.
I've decided against a motorbike ... it's just too dangerous. I might keep learning to drive Scott's little by little, but not to venture into the busy roads.

I'm very homesick this week.
I am feeling isolated in this town of non-english speakers.. and I can't help but think of Christmas Day when all of our friends and family are eating together and Reffa and I are working. I knew it was coming, and I knew I'd be sad but it doesn't change the fact that it's my very first Christmas without my family, without boxing day dinner, without even so much as a tree. =(
Mom and Dad aren't coming anymore either, so I can't even send home the presents that I've bought. I will try to send them by mail though (maybe that will be more fun for you anyways!! )

Don't worry... it will pass. I have these ups and downs of desperately missing home and being so overwhelmingly happy that I'm in Thailand that I'm tickled. It's a bit of an emotional roller coaster I suppose.

I often just want to hop in my car and go for a drive in the country though. I miss the freedom and independance that comes with a car. I really miss my craft supplies! hehehe I miss sweet brown bread (non existant here), I miss peanut butter, I miss KD, I miss my puppy very very very very much.

I love Thailand, but I love Canada too.
