What a difference a day makes

I was about due for a really bad day, and this past Tuesday brought it in full force. It's hard to explain some of the emotions that I sometimes go through but I think the movie Lost in Translation can sort of give you the idea.

It was an all around bad day, with way too many hours spent looking in Ikea and then my cell phone getting stolen while I was there, I pretty much lost it. These are the days when I wish I had my car so I didn't have to hold every shopping bag under the sun and when I wish there were about half as many people in Hong Kong as there actually are.

Nothing that a little wine and sleep can't fix.

Wednesday was completely opposite. An amazing day. Perfect weather and I headed out for a 5 hour hike with a few women and the author of a great Hong Kong hiking book. It was spectacular and I was planning on posting pictures but they managed to get deleted from my computer without me knowing (please note that it's now Thursday and apparently one more day later wasn't so lucky for me). At least the hike was fun. I got to enjoy the beautiful weather (75 & sunny) and then we had a really nice dinner with some friends we haven't seen for awhile.

Thursday has been about as annoying as Tuesday but it's not worth writing about. It just about did my head in so I can't imagine what it would do to people reading it. The great news is, in about 9 hours, we're heading to northern Thailand for a long weekend. Can't wait. I just have to run and finish some packing.

Love to everyone back home! Grandpa, we're thinking about you and praying for you on Friday. I am sure everything will turn out great. We'll talk to you from Thailand.
