wednesday morning

dad went swimming, i stayed home and checked emails and election results (after getting laptop back online). breakfast for dad was a new adventure - bahn mi which is a small baguette with a thin layer of meat, pate, some chili, and veg served warm. ms. han picked it up on her way in for 50 cents (10,000 dong). he has his fruit so that balanced it out. i delayed fruit for later but did have half a croissant. wearing khaki walking shorts and white linen blouse.

tuesday night we went to dinner with the same guy from sunday night who is leaving for gso today. took him to hyatt. cocktail at the bar then dinner (not in front of fish tank this time). dad ordered for the table .. wok cooked grouper, appetizer platter for 3 (minced shrimp on sugarcane, softshell crab, spring rolls all in miniature). wore my black talbot dress with pearls after many other were rejected. skirt too long, shirt to baggy, not in the mood for that, etc etc. so went with basic black dress but wore the pink slides to mix it up.

tuesday afternoon went to the pool for two hours. alone except for one guy doing laps. odd since school hasnt started yet and no kids around. i think school starts on monday. read a lot of the last vince flynn book on my kindle. at the pool they put in a new trampoline for kids. they have a nice playground set up with riding toys and rocking things for all ages.

anxiously awaiting michigan results.
