5 days of a sinus infection/cold/plague is enough. That's it. It can go away now. I spent most of last night waking up every hour, coughing, hacking up a lung. But the end is near, I can feel it. The sinus pressure has decreased and I'm beginning to think I can breathe again. Although I am certain I need a lung transplant as I'm wheezing and gasping whenever I do anything resembling exercise!
I'm making supper for Memere tonight - prune and apricot chicken tagine with couscous. I hope it's not too exotic, but the fruit and the spices make it a good 'intro' dish into Morrocan cuisine. Should be an interesting evening. I didn't know she was in town until she called on Wednesday. No one tells me anything about family stuff. That said, I don't often ask either. I haven't called my mom since the end of July. Time flies. I just don't have that much to talk about - nothing new has been happening - just work and training and union shit.
I've been searching the web for muay thai camps to train at in February. I've got a few on my short list:
Kobra Muay Thai (Koh Phangan)
Rawai Muay Thai (Phuket, Rawai beach)
Jay Prapa (Phuket, Kata)
Lanna Muay Thai (Chiang Mai)
At this point, I think I'll go from Bangkok by train down to Surat Thani (8 hours), then take the ferry over to Koh Phangan and spend a week or two there at Kobra. Then take the bus down to Phuket (6 hours) to Rawai, which will allow me to spend some time with the dive gang as well. That should be a leisurely enough time. If I decide that Koh Phangan, Samui and Tao are worth a longer stay, then that's what I'll do. I figure a more open, unplanned schedule is better than being tied to anything specific. And if I don't like the gym, I can always change - there are plenty of camps on Koh Phangan and in Phuket.
