Thursday was a write off kind of day. but Friday i was normal again and on my own since Dad went to Hong Kong and China for the day. I went to BP compound office and officially signed in so i could come and go at the entry gate. went to supermarket and got some diet coke, bacon and eggs for weekend. Housekeeper made lunch of Pho Ga (chicken noodle soup but soooo much better, right Emily?). then Thain (pronouced gin) came and i got a massage, pedi, mani for the equivalent of $15USD. went to dinner with Lizzy, Werner and Jess since Harvey was in China. just had soup and salad. i wore a black and white skirt and black tee.
