out on the town again

I got my laundry together yesterday to take it in. I had a pretty big bag full. Let me just stop and say right here – please remember to appreciate your washer and dryer today. It is so nice to have them right there in the house with you. So when you go by them today – pat them and say a prayer of thanks that you have this convenience IN your home. I took a taxi to the shopping center where the laundry we found was. It was $27 (about $19 U.S.) worth of laundry. I have to go and pick it up today.

Another couple on our team arrived over the weekend and they were over their jet lag enough yesterday to go exploring with me. I took a taxi to the apartment they are staying in (which by the way was beautiful) and then we took the bus and MRT to a part of town I had not been in. We were looking for a specific store they had heard about and eventually found it. It was good to know, because this is where we will probably get our appliances. We ate at McDonald’s (yes, we have those here) and just walked through the market. There was so much to see.

I got home before 5pm (which is good because the taxi fares go up after that and it is much harder to find a taxi that isn’t hired out already). Got all comfortable in my place and warmed up leftover pizza from Saturday. What a treat.

Only a week before Rick comes home. You can’t imagine how glad I will be to see him. I have really missed him. Thank you for praying me through this time of separation.
