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!
