Chillaxing makes the day go by way too fast
Ahh Chiang Mai, the best place to be continuing with my life of leisure chez Maman. Though I am still sending off job applications, seemingly off into the void if the lack of response is anything to go by, things have been pretty relaxed. And awesome.
WED 5/5:
- Got a facial and long overdue hair cut & dry at "our" usual place, and since Andy's in Windhoek, Namibia now, I got to use his member card for SWEET DISCOUNTS
- 40 mins at the gym, where I eased myself into that wacky world of physical exertion. I am still really out of shape, she says, surprising no one.
- ARTIST CLAIMS at spn_j2_bigbang! Was super lucky with the time, one of a few times a twelve hour time difference has worked out in my favor-- only had to spend an hour and a half periodically refreshing the comm page lol. Am now eagerly awaiting to see who my mystery author is. I ended up picking a fun, cheery looking RPS prompt-- an "I Dream of Jeannie" crossover. I remember that I was telling myself to go for something SPN this time round, perhaps something more serious... but then I was scrolling through the prompts and was like "self, who the hell do you think you're kidding" and picked this one. Maybe one day I will go srs biz, but until then, THIS LOOKS FUN AND SUPER CUTE (hello, Jared in a pink, gauzy genie outfit?? HEE <3) AND THERE ARE PUPPIES AND KITTENS IN IT. Or so the summary says. Oh dearest mystery author, I hope to hear from you soon ♥
THU 6/5:
- moaar gym, this time "Kickfit" AKA DEATH BY AWESOME. Commence Ma's project: make Sharon lose 2 kgs after 4++ gym sessions/by next wednesday lol what. Had a fun but smirky trainer. Why people want hot personal trainers is beyond me; I don't go to the gym to look pretty and having some hot dude would just serve to make me even more nervous and unwilling to just go all the way for the burn and look like shit doing it... Seriously my face = TOMATO. The drunk Asian glow Shaz!face has nothing on this. Ma says that I should be happy my blood circulation is this good, hmm.
- MY BOXES FROM VIENNA CAME TODAY. ALL FOUR OF THEM, COMPLETE AND HERE AND ONLY SLIGHTLY BATTERED. I am filled with new love for the Austrian and Thai postage system and also for the roll of clear duct tape that I basically covered everything with multiple times. The guards at the front of our Mooban who kept it for us were pretty damn perplexed at the stack of them though, hee. WELCOME HOME, BABIES ♥
- Am already starting to miss food in Vienna a bit: 1.) ♥Kümmelbratensemmel♥ (Caraway roast pork in a Semmel bread bun) from Merkur 2.) VITALIS Jogurt Müsli 3.) Jean Caby Croc'sec Salami Snacks in normal 4.) Dr. Oetker Rote Grütze 5.) D'Arbo Fruchtreich Marillen- und Heidelbeermarmalade ...OM NOM NOMMMMM
FRI 7/5:
- Even moaaaaaar gym, but as I discovered that I couldn't actually move much of my upper body without wanting to die, Ma set one of the personal trainers on me to work through a cardio/lower body workout. And man oh man, I was sweating like a dying cow again (one with hair hanging all over her face, since I thought today would be chillax and didn't bother to get a decent hairtie, haaah). As I type this on Saturday, now my entire body aches. I have muscles I can recognize again! And wow, you never know how central your stomach muscles are to general things like turning over until they feel like this XDD. I am digging this muchly though, and am looking forward to the next sessions on Monday and Tuesday again. Where I will hopefully be a little bit more mobile though, I should add.
TODAY:
- Mani/pedi and leg waxing ahhh I feel like a real girly girl again! This is a super relaxing way to spend time, one could positively get used to it :D Though holy crapola, it is HOT AS HELL here every day. Even the sudden onset of STORM and GUSTING WINDS really didn't do much after like the one hour it took for all the water to condensate. You actually start sweating like hell just by standing outside. And this happens at like 5PM, not just during noon like one would expect.
AND NOW I MUST CATCH UP ON SUPERNATURAL, COMMUNITY AND MOAR ♥
PEE ESS It took me ages, but I finally have new swank icons~~ *is proud*
