My entire life, I've been fortunate enough to not really know anyone to pass away---either a friend or family relative that is remotely close. This past Monday, my great uncle Season in Vancouver passed away after battling cancer for months. So sad. He was such an active, healthy man for his age, running the marathon as often as he could. But this cancer hit him hard. I'm only happy that he's no longer suffering. He's one of the few relatives I have that actually spoke English...making it easier for me to converse with him and talk about things that I never have the ability to talk about with my other non-English-speaking relatives. My parents flew up here immediately, thinking that the funeral would be sooner than later...but it's not til Tuesday morning. I'll be attending the wake and funeral...both being the first of such events for me. It'll be interesting...I'm not sure how sad I may be...it may surprise me.

i'm so sick. i've been sick for the last 4 days and haven't been able to go to work at all this week. blegh. what bad timing too---i feel bad that my manager has had to deal with the very last minuteness of the craziness of my 2 projects. all i've been doing has been sleeping or sitting on my couch, drinking tea and taking sudafed. this cold just won't go away. a visit to the doctor yesterday didn't help much either...he just told me to just continue drinking fluids and taking sudafed. ugh. i actually haven't been sick for awhile. i was in fairly good health all year long. funny how i got sick just as the weather took a turn for the cold here in seattle. well...it's not that coincidental. doesn't surprise me. my body doesn't take the changing of the seasons very well.
this last week has been hard in regards to my condo-hunt. i finally found another place that i really like...as did pierre! we both put out an offer on the same day. mine was a bit tough because it was already sold contingent...but it'd been like that since april. apparently, the first buyers have had a hard time selling their house. strangely--they sold their house the same day i put out my offer! now, i have to sit through their inspection...but if all goes well, i lose the place. ugh. but pierre got his condo--i'm happy for him. it's a great unit.
all in all, i've put out 3 offers and they've all fallen through. i'm so tired of all of this. buying a place is tiring.

Unfortunately, I didn't get that place I put an offer on...er...well, they countered with a price I wasn't willing to pay. So back to the drawing table. With parents in town, we've been zipping from condo to condo...mind boggling. I'm so tired of all of this. I just want to find a place to call home. We've found some nice ones...it's just a matter of deciding on neighborhoods.
I forgot to mention that one of my very first friends in Seattle--Jon Pak--moved back to Philly to start med school. Wow. I spent so much time with Jon back in the early days of Seattle, going to Ikea together, getting drinks at the Baltic Room or dancing at I-Spy, finding our first apartments only blocks from each other. At his going away party, Jon reminded me that I gave him a ride back to his corporate housing at Harbor Steps on his first day at work. He's such a good man and will always be surrounded by love and good friends no matter where he goes. Best of luck in med school, Jon. Keep in touch.

One week later and I'm still battling jet lag. I can't sleep at night for the life of me. Well, I can sleep but I'm falling asleep super late...making it incredibly hard to wake up in the mornings. Argh.
Crazy week--catching up with work, actively looking at condos.
I found a place that I just love--put an offer out there today. Ah---the nervousness of it all. My parents are flying out tomorrow to go up to Vancouver to visit my sick uncle. They're stepping with all this condo business and getting my mind racing. It's killing me. The stress of it all. I'm really excited about this place---should find out tomorrow what the story is with it. It's so different than all the other places I looked at. My parents are trying to convince me otherwise...[sigh]
Anyhow, I don't know why I'm working so late. It's 10pm and I need to eat dinner.

it's really late (4:41am) and i can't sleep for the life of me. i tried so hard to readjust myself during my entire trip back...sleeping when it was night time in seattle, staying awake when it was daytime. it was so easy for me to adjust and sleep when i first got to bangkok...not much luck coming back i guess. poor misha--he keeps trying to sleep and cuddle up next to me..but i keep tossing and turning. i may have to pop in a dvd and see if that puts me to sleep. argh--i don't want to be all groggy at work tomorrow.
