Morning update! This will probably be brief because I just wrote morning pages and hashed most things out in there.
I got back to my guesthouse not that long ago. I stayed at H’s place last night. I realized it’s been over a year since I spent the night in the same bed as someone else. I enjoyed it, but I couldn’t sleep for shit which was super annoying. I also hate not being able to brush my teeth and not having a pair of contacts to put in in the morning. It was still definitely worth it, though. I would do that again for sure.
I really like Pokhara. I’m thinking about sticking around for a while. I’m going back to KTM tomorrow to finish up the Indian visa process and will stay a few days. P from Australia is there now. It’ll be fun to see her again – she’s great. My tentative plan is to come back to Pokhara on Sunday. I rented one of the apartments at H’s place yesterday. I really like the apartment. It’s much more than I’d pay for a guesthouse, but I can’t do the super cheap guesthouses. For a night or two it would be ok, but for a month or longer definitely not. I really like my current guesthouse, but for the price and location I’d rather have something with a kitchen and more space. A place I can really spread my stuff out. The apartment has a really beautiful view of the lake, too! I’m excited to wake up to that everyday.
I really enjoy spending time with R and J. They will both be around here a while longer and are talking about doing a regular morning yoga class so R can get some practice. I think they could be really helpful as far as getting a routine goes. I’d love to be writing and drawing a lot everyday. That would be really, really amazing. I’m going to start doing that as soon as I get back.
I’ve decided I’m giving myself this month to see if making money online as a freelancer is going to be something that might work. If I can get a start at it I’ll figure out sticking around here. I plan to speak to J from Vipassana about different visa options. Although, it sounds like I can stay here on a tourist visa for quite a while because of how late in the year I arrived. More things to check out I suppose.
Ok, I’ve got to get going. I told the woman I would go and pay her half the month’s rent this morning so I’ve got to find an ATM and figure that out. Talk to you later KP!
