Random Post

 Not much is really going on.  One story that I meant to tell you all about happened at one of J and I's favorite spots.  There's this salad, sandwich, and wrap place called Salady that we go to for lunch on Tuesdays and Fridays.  At Salady is a lovely woman who speaks English and usually takes our order.  She has been super helpful about telling us what is in the wraps, how we can change the salads, etc.  Well, one day last week we came in and she said "I've made an English menu for you so that you know what you can do!" and pulls out this beautiful, professional looking menu so now we know what is what.  It was the sweetest thing ever, J and I gushed about it the whole time we were there, she said our reactions were worth every bit of effort she put into it, and frankly just general good feelings were all around.  I kinda feel obligated to try more of the menu, but J is sticking with her usual orders.  The woman is all about consistency.

On the other end of the spectrum, small comments can really mess with someone's whole day.  So be kind, people... be kind.  Keeping your mouth shut because your comment is only meant to hurt someone doesn't cost anything.  I am really tired of people being ugly to each other.  It kills my soul a bit, not gonna lie.

Otherwise, not much is happening, as I said.  S and I have decided that our Tuesday night hang-outs MUST involve watching all 7 (seven, that's right, there are SEVEN of them) Tremors movies.  I cooked for J on Wednesday night - chicken soup packets from M(C) with chicken, carrots, celery, and various herbs.  J(S) and I have been talking and his school is shut down right now due to Corona.  E is out on some kind of training exercise, so messaging has been spotty at best.  I'm going on another trip this weekend to a folk village and a bamboo forest, last trip planned for a while.  

On Wednesday the kids were super cute in one of my old classes - one of my favorites was even playing with my underarm fat, which was frankly hilarious.  They were also trying to teach me Korean by laughing at the fact that I look like I don't have hair in my id picture.  Cute, sassy little shits!  I love those kids.  My kinder class is going well, they are also cute as hell... only problem is that the songs I play for them once our work is done get stuck in my head!!  

I'm still not sure how I felt about this outfit... I just don't know if the dark blue and black really work together.  Sigh... the scarf I wore looked good tho.
Cute witch cake at Paris Baguette.

So yeah, otherwise time marches on and life continues as normal.  I count myself as being blessed by having 2 friends that I can talk to about damn near anything, I also look forward to getting to know E and J(S) better.  I feel good about myself - in my head and even with the stalled weight loss, and I'm just kinda coasting until my contract is over.  Life after Korea will be an adventure, and it's one that I'm looking forward to, tho I am also appreciating my life here as it winds down.
