The view from the balcony
Also, experimenting a little with the panorama picture functionality of my camera:
The first evening and the following morning
We had a little late night snack yesterday at the Poolside Bar & Restaurant. Such a nice ambience and atmosphere there. Waves crashing to the shore down below and the ambient music played in the speaker system. Ahh, such a relaxation of mind! I do think we will spend quite many evenings/nights there having a mocktail or two before heading to bed.
And today morning we had breakfast at the same place. Tea, omelette, guava juice, fresh fruits and some pancakes. Yummy and my tummy approves!

And here we are
Arrived safely first to Bangkok and then to Phuket. This hotel we are staying at, Cape Sienna, is quite remarkable. I will attach a couple of pictures here to give you guys some kind of idea:
This is the main room. Nothing much but the bed, sofa and alcove with entry to shower and toilet.
On the balcony then...
Well, okay. The chairs have a nice view to the bay and Kamala Beach, but you will have to wait for the photos of the view until tomorrow, it is too dark already for scenery photography.
But the main thing on the balcony:
A very own jacuzzi! Yay!
P.S. My apologies for the sizes of the photos. I will use jpeg next time.

Next steps
1) Off to the airport in a short while.
2) 2 weeks of nice and relaxing vacation in Thailand.
3) Back to Finland
4) Sort out how to handle the three weeks of vacation time from this day onwards.
Why the step 4? Well... Due to the economic situation my contract with my current company got terminated. Effective today with one month of notice period. Since I have been one week on the vacation now out of my four weeks it would mean that there are 3 weeks of unspent vacation time. Yes, I will stay "home" for those three weeks but I still have to work out if I am entitled to have them compensated with money. Additionaly the unpent winter vacation and the accumulated vacation days for today.
This is not the end. This is merely a new beginning.
5) Start full blown work to get my own company up and running.
Business plan is there, a clear concept is there, needed partners are there. All that really still needs to be done is to get the company website to be representable and get some customers.
6) Laugh all the way to the bank once the company is properly operational.
7) Have a good life full of laughter, joy, beautiful people and love!

Medical Experiments
As I am preparing for my vacation trip to Thailand I decided to make a little experiment on my medication schedule. I took my medication today at approximately 13:00 while I usualle take it before going to bed. To my dread the injection timetable stated that it would be stomach injections turn. Stomach injections as I hope have perviously stated cause the worst side effectes for me.
After about an hour of the injections the side effects started to home in in form of drowsiness. I felt soooooo tired and was about to fall asleep every now and then. After about hour and a half the first symptoms of fever started to hit but luckily they weren't so bad, the fever med I took after the injection seem to be helping. After two and a half hours my brain started to feel like it was on a cotton cushion.
Not that bad considering the first time I had my meds waaaaay back the injection was too made into my stomach. Then I had no fever meds to counter the side effects so they hit me really hard then. Also the first time around for the body meant that I hadn't gotten accustomed to the meds yet. Back then the side effect gave me restless feet making me unable to stay still which was very annoying. I do believe I had the feverlike symptoms too but cannot remember for sure.
Anyways the conclusions of this experiment are:
1) I can take my meds early on Tuesday too to avoid the hassle of injection in the accustomed time and the fact of plane departing at about 23.
2) It is not really that necessary for me to take the meds before going to bed. Let us see how I sleep the coming night. Perhaps a little better than usually after the meds?
Stay tuned, I hope to remember to let you know.
