I walked from my new apartment out to Sutheep road (~4 blocks). I was feeling headachy and queasy (sp?). I got a bag of pineapple for 10 bht, but it made my stomache hurt. Oh no, am I getting ill? it had rained, so it was very hot and humid. I knew where I was, but didn't know what the street name was for my guest house, which frustrated me. I was feeling dumb and a bit weak. I crossed over to the other side of the street (did I mention they drive on the wrong--left--side of the street?) and caught a tuk-tuk to tha pae gate (about 4 blocks from the guesthouse). I didn't bother to haggle, paying 40 bht. being in traffic was only contributing to my queasiness. Was I gonna lose my lunch? I ducked into an internet cafe and bought a bottle of water, which I sipped as I checked my email. the queasiness and headache subsided.
GOTTAGOTTAGOTTA remember to drink! I'm drinking some, but I'm sweating a lot here, and actually exercising a lot, so far. I sometimes resent having to buy water, or put it off, which is stupid. who am I trying to impress?
