we'll print this blog into a book, so i want to document everything about our life here -- that means the good and the bad. not everything is beautiful and great in this tropical part of the world. i have had it with cockroaches and worrying that i'll find one near sage's bed no matter how clean i keep our apartment. i have a serious bug phobia. i miss the ease of a car, especially with getting groceries. i've had to stop cringing at grocery prices (yesterday: one head of broccoli = $9, carton of cherries = $32. i didn't buy either) and just go with the flow. i was really feeling sorry for myself this weekend and wondering how to make this life work for us (me). i fully expected to have a breakdown after moving here and was surprised i lasted almost two months without one.
being busy helps keep things moving and makes me excited about singapore, so i'm going back to checking things off my singapore to do list and planning vacations. i was most excited about the travel aspect of moving here, and i still am! there are so many places i want to see in asia.
at least i get to hang out with my favorite buddy:
i feel lucky for that.
I'm not going to lie...your prices make me feel better about going to the grocery store here in California. Your little one is so cute. Hope things get easier (they always do!) soon. :)
