Today (Monday, February 18) was definitely a three-chaa-yen
day, by which I mean that I was driven to drink three giant Thai iced-teas
(each probably containing several hundred calories from the huge quantity of
condensed milk and sugar they put in). I
know you’re wondering what drove me to double my total daily caloric
intake. There are generally three
factors that contribute to how many Thai iced-teas and/or coffees I drink: 1) how hot it is, the answer to which is
always: damn hot!; 2) how much sleep I’ve gotten the night before, the answer
to which is generally: too little!; and 3) how interested I am in the training
sessions, which can vary widely.
So measuring today against the three aforementioned
criteria: 1) it’s been one of the hottest days we’ve had so far, check; 2) I
went to bed at 11 and got up at 4:30 to the call of the bird that has become
the bane of my sleeping hours, check; 3) we spent the morning listening to a
presentation about STDs, check.
One Thai iced-tea for each factor adds up to a
three-chaa-yen day.
I'm sensing a theme here. Hope you're surviving the temps and early mornings. I'm going to buy you a rooster when you come home, just to prevent withdrawal symptoms.
ReplyDeleteChris, this sounds to me, someone who is dreading another hot summer in Michigan, like real torture. I hope you'll get used to the heat and grow somehow to like it. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences with us! We all miss you! toni
