I’m going back to KTM tomorrow. I’m excited to see Paula again because she’s awesome, but I’m not looking forward to the bus trip, having to dick around KTM to finish up the visa process or the bus back to Pokhara.  It’ll be ok though.  Maybe I’ll see another side of the city I missed before.  Pokhara feels like paradise compared to KTM.  

I paid half of the monthly rent for the apartment.  I’m looking forward to having a month to just sit around and relax.  I plan to spend some time trying to figure out a freelance income.  If I’m able to do that I’ll consider sticking around the apartment for another month, perhaps longer.  I’m in no hurry to go anywhere, but I don’t want to sit around here burning money if I don’t feel like I’m getting anywhere.  Even if I’m just drawing (in the hopes I could later sell the drawings) I’d be happy with that.  Otherwise, I’m going to have to leave after the month is up and be on my merry way.

Today was actually really enjoyable.  Just hanging out and relaxing with people.  I walked around with Susie for a while and saw Jackson and Rebecca as well. It started to rain very hard in the evening so we canceled our dinner plans.  I went back to the restaurant I’ve eaten at a shitload of times since getting here.  I read one of the books they have and ate butter chicken with garlic naan.  It was, of course, amazing.  

I’ve got to email some people back.  I’ve got quite a few emails I’ve let get stale.  I just haven’t felt like doing that.  Maybe I can work on it on the long bus ride tomorrow.  That would actually be a great use of my time.  I seldom feel like actually emailing anyone back, but I’ll try to do it tomorrow.  It would be nice to get that done.  I definitely have to email L back in SC.
