I slept in pretty late this morning.  I woke up around 10 am. It’s really not that late, but considering I went to bed around midnight it was a lot of sleep.

I’ll have to get up earlier tomorrow because I’m planning on meeting a guy.  I am wishing I’d not decided to meet him now.  Who knows though, it could be cool.  I’m basically done with trying to use facebook to meet any guys.  It’s just a hassle and most of them, from what I can gather, are just looking for sex anyway.  Not that I don’t like sex, but it’s not really what I’m hoping to find.  Many of these guys also seem very, very closeted.  I’m not so into super closeted.

I forced myself to go to a yoga class this evening.  I really enjoyed it and I’m glad that I decided to go.  I think I’ll try to make it more in the future.  I’d really like to start making it to the morning class at this other yoga place, but I’ve grown so hostile to mornings I’m not sure that’s going to ever happen.

I can’t believe it’s been almost two weeks since I got back to Pokhara.  The time is definitely going by quickly – even if every day is basically a slight different variation of the previous day.  The only things that really change are where I decide to eat lunch and dinner.

I got a really nice email back from this Indian girl I met in Bangkok.  It was filled with lots of great information about visiting India and some very nice offers to help me out once I get there.  I need to email her back and I should also take her up on the off to help.

I think India will be a pretty quick trip.  I’m just not in the mood for being there for too long.  Maybe a few weeks.  I could easily stay longer, but I have no money and I need to figure out what I’m going to do about things (my life!).  I’m also ready to go back to the US.  I don’t know if I’ll choose to stick around the East Coast, go to Chicago or Minneapolis, but that’ll become more clear.  I think once I get back and have a fresh perspective on everything it’ll be really helpful.  I briefly looked at jobs in Chicago on Craigslist a little bit ago.  That wasn’t a super positive experience…. Nothing looked good and the reality of the situation I’ll be returning home to has started to feel oppressive.  I do want to take some writing classes and try to work towards supporting myself in a way I enjoy and find meaningful, but I still feel like I’m so far away from that.  I know it’ll work out somehow.  It always does, anyway.

I did spend a little time on a website that I could probably use to earn some money.  The problem is, I’d most likely be earning about $5-7/hour which is a very optimistic hope I think.  In all likelihood I would be earning less than that.  Possibly much less and the amount of time it’ll take to get up and running is basically not reimbursed at all.  I figure I need to start somewhere, though.
