Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I found an AA meeting at noon that wasn’t far from where I am staying. It was a little difficult to find the actual meeting spot, but now that I have going back to that meeting will be easy enough. The meeting itself didn’t have very many people at it and the general lack of many meetings around Bangkok is going to be a huge adjustment. I’m used to having many meetings close by to choose from. It’ll be ok, but an adjustment none the less.

After the meeting I wandered through a market and bought a couple things. I also went to a sit down restaurant and got some lunch. The food was pretty good, but eating in a sit down restaurant is way more expensive than eating street food. I ordered a whole bunch of food because I was pretty hungry. The whole meal came to less than $12 so really not bad, but considering street food is usually less than $2 it was much more expensive.

After lunch I came back to my hotel room. By that point it was around 3 pm and I felt like sitting in the air con for a while. I decided to take a nap which I should have known better than to do. I slept for a long time and got up around 3 am. I figure I’ll try to stay up all day now and go to bed at a more reasonable time tonight – like 10 or 11 pm. I have done a poor job of trying to get myself onto Thailand’s time. I’ve been sitting around my hotel now for the past few hours. Planning on making a couple phone calls home in a little while and doing some more touristy things today.

Gratitude List:
A good night’s sleep
Some relaxation time
Finally having some face wash
