I'm not sure where to start, but things are moving fast over here. In a little over three weeks, I'll be without work -- am I worried -- a little bit, but I'll get something figured out. This fella' I've been praying too lately seems to have a plan, though I am just not sure what it is right now.
So I've been doing quite a bit of cookin' at home these days. Most of it just happens in the morning with some big four egg omelettes, that usually consist of chicken, tomatoes, onions, and some peppers. I've made some salads, cooked a few different chicken dishes, and made some various pasta dishes as well. This weekend I hope to do something with penne pasta, and duck, which should be fun. Tonight I made some chocolate covered strawberries, and did a banana as well. I also plan to venture into some stuffed french toast soon. By the way, peanut butter, strawberries, and banana make a good sandwich.
Besides cooking not much has gone on during the week. I went to the doctor and got my nasal area, as well as knee checked out. I'm on meds for both at the moment. Hopefully the knee continues being pain free, though it still hurts in places on the side. Fingers crossed, there's not an MRI next week. Work has been dull as usual, for the most part. We have five more days of work, and then get Friday, Monday and Tuesday off around Christmas. All the coworkers are super ready to take their vacations. Chris and Jack will go to Taipei, while Brittany and Michael will go to Phuket, in Thailand. I'm gonna stay around here and spend time catching up with some folks.
Last weekend, I did something really cool though. Marina and I met up and we bought gifts for two boys that live in an orphanage here in town. We had a limited of 20,000 won (about 18USD), so we found these cool backpacks, bought some sweets and a few cool pens for them too. It was definitely fun giving back in some way. There are kettle drives going on around town here too, just like with the Salvation Army back home. We checked out a few little shops around the area afterwards and then we visited the local Russian/Uzbekistan restaurant downtown. The food there is wonderful, and it helps Marina cope with being homesick sometimes, so I didn't mind it at all. She makes for the best company, and has always been a good friend to me. We went and visited our English Club after that, and enjoyed meeting quite a few of the new people who have been visiting these days.
