Shame on me

Two days with no posts and no real excuses as to why not. I had a relatively lazy weekend.

Saturday I ran a bunch of errands and had dinner at a friends house. We had pizza which is hard to find here so was thrilled for that. We also had some great conversation that lasted until about 11pm...late for this early bird.

Yesterday was the first day of total rain that I have experienced here in Singapore. It rained all day long. And when I say rain, please remember that this is a tropical local so it wasn't just a slight drizzle or shower, it was a tropical rain which would be measured in inches per hour. I ventured out a couple of times but was home most of the day doing laundry, cooking, and working...I know, shame on me again...working on the weekend.

Saturday morning I did go and see a doctor for the first time here in Singapore. It was just a routine appointment to get established with one in case of a more emergent need. I don't have any crazy stories about an Eastern doctor because I took the easy way and went to an American trained and board certified physician. What can I say, I work in the healthcare field and don't want to experiment with these things. He was a nice guy, has been here in Singapore for quite awhile and sees mostly Americans and Europeans. He told me I didn't sound American - said he couldn't place my accent. Am not sure if he's been away from the States for too long or if I am sounding different...

It's now Monday morning so heading to the office in a bit for another week of meetings... Although, this week I am traveling again...one guess as to where I am going...Sydney! Yep, had hoped the last trip would be it for awhile but have to head back Wednesday - Friday to work on some things. I am then spending the weekend and the following week in Adelaide. Adelaide is actually one of my favorite cities in the world so will post lots from there...just not really looking forward to Sydney...
