Into the clouds

Chichi has a new project that will start implementation soon. After months of stress, we decided it was time for a little TLC! So we jumped on a plane to Bangkok for 5 days. We're on a foodcation! Best comfort food available, at a more affordable price than going back to Canada! Street food here is amazing and while we don't really know any Thai, some people do speak Lao, so we can understand each other a bit. I don't speak much Lao, most words I know are related to food. Chichi gets by okay, even if he's got kiddie vocab. When you don't speak your mother tongue with anyone other than family, it's hard to improve your vocab/speach pattern.

Will be posting some pics once I'm back home.

Yet I was feeling so drained that I let it get away from me.  I keep getting sick which sucks balls, but I think I can get the upper hand on things now. I was reading through posts on some of my older blogs (I have a few scattered around the interwebs), and came across a post that gave me like a "wake-up call/Snap out of it!" sort of thing.   " Except maybe because of my personality - where I just tend to look on the bright side of things, not really allowing myself to fret...
