Sunday, 6 November, 2022 – Elias is halfway into Monday and I am just now writing about his Sunday. I need to adjust my writing schedule.
I finished my presentation, apropos of nothing. I give the presentation on Wednesday morning and I know I will feel an enormous weight lift. And, I did not like the feeling that I was so tired and distracted by my work. I know Elias does not feel neglected, but I felt like I was being neglectful. Dumb.
Elias and I exchanged texts, briefly, yesterday.
Elias: Hi yes I’m good. My sleep schedule has been weird but I really like Bangkok.
Me: Good. I thought you would. Sorry about the sleep. I am just being silly I guess, worrying more than I have in 3 months. I don’t know why.
Elias: It really is not anywhere close to as crazy as I thought it would be. There is a ton of people but it doesn’t feel unsafe at all. I know you will worry, but honestly it feels easier than Europe and I’m just so settled into traveling it doesnt feel crazy or scary at all.
He uploaded pictures, which will be the remainder of this post. I don’t have anything to share right now, except that I am happy that he’s doing so well, enjoying where he is and what he’s doing. It is such a different place from any place you could visit in the U.S. Looking at his pictures reminds me of why I enjoyed Thailand so much. These are dated 4 November, 2022.
