I seem to be at a point in my physical recovery from this knee surgery where I like to get out everyday and go somewhere, but it usually wipes me out for about the rest of the day. Today I went and got my hair cut and then took a bus to ragstock to look at Halloween costumes. I decided not to buy one because I wasn’t convinced I’d have the energy to put it on and go anywhere tonight. I ended up staying in so I’m glad that I didn’t buy a costume. Tomorrow I’ve got physical therapy and then an acupuncture appointment so that will be my outing tomorrow. I’m also getting picked up by my mother in the evening and going to my parents’ house through the weekend. It’ll be nice to get out of my apartment and be around other people for a few more days.

I can’t seem to get the idea of going abroad for an unspecified amount of time out of my head. I saw that one way tickets to Thailand in January would cost around $900. I desperately wish I had some savings I could use and just live and travel through SE Asia for about a year. Unfortunately, aside from cashing out my 401k (which I realize is a horrible idea), I don’t have any way to make that a reality. It feels like right now would be a pretty great time to take a year and go and do it considering that I’m unencumbered with so many things. My job situation is in transition and changing, I don’t own a house or have a mortgage, I’m not in a relationship, etc. I guess we’ll see if some way to make it work out pops up sometime soon……….
