feeling hungover... a quick look at the phone....an email.... from Phap....oh oh....
I knew it..... says he wants to meet me, but tired from work and afraid of traffic police....he won't come today Xin loi Han yeu...
I knew it
I reply that he should take a taxi and that I'd pay for it..... he probably will come up with another excuse.
6:30
Nope.... He says he will leave at 8:00....that should get him here by 9ish
7:00
I email Elizabeth
7:30
I call Chau.... bring the speakers back and add 1 trieu for Tam ....the food in the fridge belongs to Tam.... do you have my perfume bottle?..... My house is NOT a store. I can tell by his voice that he is NOT happy, but better to nib this the butt right now, otherwise I won't have a bed or a fridge when I come back.
7:45
The Monkey replies to my email....he only wants the speakers...."I don't need Money. Chau is not a rich man".....what a cutie.....
I tell him that Chau borrowed enough money to give 1 trieu to The Monkey
Not sure what he is shaking his head at.....that I asked Chau or that I lent money to Chau....
8:20
drop off laundry.....
time for a nap before Phap arrives.....
nap
9:20
No Phap
an email exchange with The Monkey....he does have a good character ... doesn't want the 1 trieu.... not my problem anymore.....
10:15
Still no news from or sight of Phap..... he is hopeless and my gut feeling was right....
I go out and find Family Mart....they have the 1-1 coffee and ham and wasabi and the good bread.... at least SOME good news today...
11:00
nothing from Phap.... I give up and the dark dusk of depression descends
then there is a possible knock on my door at 11:30.... and he's in front of the door...
cuddles, nuzzles, "I love you" "me too"....
14:00
A Grab motorcycle ride to the doctor to pick up my certificate ....Negative.... I LOVE cruising through Saigon on the back of a motorcycle...The trip to the doctor, waiting for 5 minutes, and the return trip is supposed to cost 17,000VND..... 1.00CAD......I ask the driver (who looks like 60) how old he is....he is 40.....rough life.... he drops me in front of the hotel and I give him 100k..."cho gia dinh"....he gets big eyes and insists on shaking my hand...... Phap is napping in the room....
I fall asleep on Phap twice.... I love his snoring.... lots of nuzzling and little kisses ....
15:45
He has to go.... it's almost heartbreaking....but we both say "Dung buon!" and "I love you" and "Han se luon luon tim thay Phap".....
I talk to The Monkey...... and I thank him for being a GOOD FRIEND.... he's one of the very few sane people in that village...
16:30
Fish & Chips....
A street vendor wants 20k for the storm lighter that costs 5k in Phu Yen.... I tell her what I think of that...and buy a lighter for 5k at the usual store...
I forgot the laundry....back out into the street.... it's dry but not folded yet.....but she folds it right away....she seemed a bit stand-offish when I arrived 8 days ago....but now we are chatting in a friendly way....
17:45
Back in the room.... need to pack, should shave tonight to save time tomorrow morning, Iwona will call later... and then that will be it....the temporary end to friggin more than two years of BLISS....
17:55
A quick email to Phap..... LOVE YOU...
19:00
A great phone call with Iwona....her Finnish guy seems to be even worse in the communication department than Phap....
19:45
More issues with Chau....he returned the computer speakers and my perfume....but not the 1 trieu for The Monkey .....WTF !?!!
22:00
Can't sleep....too excited.... another 2 Phap emails.... his usual understatement... but at least a sad emoji...
I prepare tomorrow morning's email.... Don't be sad and don't be afraid....I hope we will be happy after I kill the problems in Canada
I love you
