My water bill this month was 30 baht. That's less than $1.00 for an entire month's of city water. My electricity bill should only be around $10-15 a month. Not too shabby. Rent at my three bedroom house is just under $100 a month. Gotta love Thailand! Oh, and I moved into a house now...as you can imagine based on what I just said. This will be my final resting spot, tell visa do us part.
So every time I try to update this I find other things to do. How's that for procrastination. It's a very bad habit. To be honest, not a whole lot has changed and I suspect this will be the norm for quite some time. Despite living in a foreign country, life usually turns to routine. I get up and go to work like everyone else does. Only, I don't get paid for my work. But I also don't really have a boss. And by "don't really" I mean not at all. My former "boss" is leaving for the States permanently. But I like the freedom. I still enjoy what I'm doing which is always a blessing.
I'm living in a house now! It's nice to have a kitchen and my own bathroom and such. I don't have much stuff, but I've grown accustomed to not having much furniture and stuff on the walls. I actually have a few extra desks and things I don't even need. I bought the last owner's furniture. I think they gave me a pretty good deal on it all and I have what I need including a sweet washer AND spinner! Because who needs convenience when you have a sweet centrifuge that you can enrich uranium in. On a side note I'm selling nuclear warheads for $20 or 3 for $40.
Ants are going to be the death of me. In Thailand ants get into everything if you aren't careful. The fridge is safe and my silver food cabinet has special hoof-like things that have anti-ant powder and a water moat. It keeps them away, but if you leave food on the table or counter they'll be in it within a few minutes. When I get back to the States (hopefully in November) I'm sure I'll be puzzled at why people leave food out. My food preservation habits will be thoroughly ingrained at that point. So if I scream and lecture you about those feisty little ants please have grace with me. I've been through ant hell and back. But victory will be mine I tell you!
Also we don't have shower stalls in Thailand. You just run the water on the tile floor. So if I shower at your house be aware that I'm going to get your entire bathroom wet.
So that's about enough don't you think?
