No better way to start my evening than watching a grumpy old Thai man spew words at me I don’t quite understand and waving his arms up at me in the up most unfriendly manner. I get it guy, beach is closed, but I want to go to the restaurant! For a split second, this man startles me. He keeps yelling at me in Thai and pointing to another path. I place my hands together as if I’m going to pray, smile, nod my head and walk away. In my head I told the man to piss off, what’s the big deal if I cross a few feet of sand, buddy? Looks like there’s actually someone on this island that isn’t getting laid.
Anyway, I finally figured out I had to take the path I’ve never checked out before which lead me up to the back of the restaurant, Aow Leuk 2. It happens to be the closest to our bungalow with the strongest wifi connection and the best coconut shakes on the island.

I had a very laid back day but I guess when you’re living on an island, every day is a very laid back kinda day.

Mike started diving today which I’m not so secretly very jealous of. He gets to spend day in and day out in that gorgeous water doing exactly what he loves to do. I’m so happy for him. There is nothing I enjoy more than seeing the people I love happy, and ladies and gentlemen, the man I love is radiating happiness.
So today Mike was off to his first dive, taking the bike we rented in my name, meaning I was essentially shit out of luck today on transportation.
After Mike left, I lolly gagged around the bungalow for a little bit. Sweeping the floors and rinsing out the cereal bowls. I decided to head to the beach around 10:30. It’s about a 2 minute walk from our bungalow to the beach path, and than another 10 minute walk down the path to the ocean. It’s an easy walk down, but when it was time to come back up I sure as hell got my fat ass kicked. Moving here, living in the jungle and on top of a mountain is going to be the best work out of my life.
My boyfriend missed a good beach day, it was full of petite foreign women walking around with their tops off, rolling in the shallow waters, and drinking changs. For a second, I considered taking my top off and letting my girls feel free but I wasn’t trying to get boob-burn and my boyfriends the only man I really care for checking out my rack. So my top stayed on and I read my book for a while. After getting sweaty and dying to go in the water (even though I’m not supposed to submerge my stitches) I rebelled against the clinical doctors order and jumped right in. I swam with the fish for a little than went back to the coast line and laid in the sand as the little waves crashed over me.

Heaven.
Eventually I realize my stitches are grossly oozing and head up to the restaurant (the same one I’m currently sitting at) and I order my favorite coconut shake and some fried noodles.

I read my book more, and check a few emails. I secretly miss Mike already, I feel pathetic.
I pay my bill and can’t find a shady spot to nap, so head back up to the bungalow. It’s an uphill battle, but I make it back home in about 10 minutes, dripping sweat I hop in the shower to rinse off. I realize Mike has stopped home for lunch because there is a dirty dish in the sink and an open jar of peanut butter sitting on the fridge, don’t worry babe, I’ll clean up! I finally lay on my bed happy to not be sharing the fan with anyone and I PTFO (pass the F out)
When I wake up, I think about bringing laundry down the street to be cleaned, but I opt out.. There’s always tomorrow.


I head back down to the beach, where my story began. I’ve found my spot in the restaurant, ordered my coconut shake and sit waiting for Mike, hoping he gets my note. And about an hour after I got here, I turn around to see my handsomely sun kissed blonde. So I’ll end my day for you here because my best friend is home for the evening and I’ve been waiting all day to be able to sit and talk with him!
Love it. That said, please get those stitches checked – last thing in the world you need is an infection!! Smile pretty, perhaps the good Dr won’t charge you for a quick check! ❤ BTW – the rain finally stopped here, although not that steady, the over cast all week was depressing. Sun is out today so hope the pool warms up SOON for this thin skinned Nana. Only 9 more days of school for the district students and I am as excited as them to have Carly and Kaci home for the summer! AHS Prom is tonight…..praying they all use their heads, don't drink and have a fun and safe weekend. I suppose senior cut day is Monday but I don't know that for sure. For now, I offer another thank you for sharing your adventures of your now life. Hugs to you both and lots of ❤ ❤ Nana Marsh
