On the way to the Coin Lanundry


噂は本当でした。
チェンマイの4月は半端ない。

暑いー。

…というわけで、
夏バテ、か
夏風邪疑惑の
私ですが、
すでに今日は回復したっぽいから
私って、
タフだなー。

Let's see...
It's been normal these days
besides 
feeling a little 
sick-ish,
and groggy-ish.

Still working 
every day,
still watching movies 
almost every night,
and still wondering 
about the things 
I was wondering 
2 years ago.

I was thinking today though.

I was walking to 
a coin laundry.

I saw a semi-big bird 
with orange wings,
and I exchanged 
some smiles with 
people passing by,
and, I don't know,
things seemed nice and peaceful.

Nothing was 
very new 
or different,
besides the fact that 
I don't get to see that 
bird with orange wings.

What was very different 
was, though
the attitude I had. 


Evan and I don't have a fridge,
well, actually we do,
but we turned it off 
because it eats too much 
electricity.
So now it'S just a cupboard. 

When I have ice-cold water,
it feels special 
and luxurious.

It's kind of nice 
to be able to 
feel happy
just by having 
a cold glass of water. 


What I am trying to say is...
I realized 
that 
most of the times, 
it's myself 
that can make my own 
situation better. 

I can complain 
about the water that is warm,
or I can say it's all good
because it makes me enjoy 
the luxury 
I get once in a while
(when we buy ice from a store)


So you wonder, 
what this has to do with 
the coin laundry story? 


I don't know.
Something got connected 
inside myself. 

The little key to 
happiness, perhaps. 

I just liked the fact that 
I was feeling 
happy
even though 
there was nothing very special
on the way to 
the coin laundry 
or on the way back from 
there.
