typical rainy day

Typhoon has passed, and the rain finally let up! The typhoon was much bigger than normal....this time big enough to put Taiwan's weather on CNN. Central Taiwan is still submerged in water, silt and tradegy. It will pass, but for those stuck in central/southern parts it's not going so great- the damage this time was much worse.

Yesterday was the most laid back day. I woke up feeling pretty sick, but dragged myself out of bed just in time to get the boss's phone call. "Are you ready?"
"Yes." Three minutes later, my teeth were brushed and I was dressed and running out to the van. It was the boss's birthday. I reminded her of that when I jumped in and wished her a happy birthday (yes, she actually forgot). I love that about her. She's so not self-absorbed. And she has every right to be, being probably one of the smartest business entrepreneurs I know.

By the time we got to the B&B, only two customers were left- the other American family that stayed the weekend had finally gotten a really early flight out. We cleaned up after and fed the dogs, I made breakfast and headed straight for the couch. The obvious need for a bit more sleep manifested itself in what turned out to be a two-hour nap. After waking up, I headed up to help Da Fei with cleaning the rooms. He sent me back downstairs to rest, assuring me that there wasn't much to be done, and he was taking care of it. I appreciated that because I really felt sucky. So I went back down to my spot on the couch. Other than making breakfast for the young, good-looking couple (with an awesome dog) and lunch from McD's, nothing much happened. Surfers came to check out the surf, but left after deciding it was still to dangerous to go out.

Birthday time. I mentioned it was the boss's birthday. After getting hair done with my roommate, we met the boss and her boyfriend for some KTV. We picked up drinks then headed off to sing for a couple of hours. Emma- the girl I work with- convinced me to play a drinking game with her. I kept getting the hand motions confused with paper-scissors-stone, so needless to say, I lost a lot. We had fun.

Now I'm sitting at the counter in the cafe at the B&B and drinking a hot latte I made. Since only two customers are left and all the others have cancelled, it'll be a laid back day. I don't mind.

Am thinking about killing time by making apple pie.
