I made it to Kathmandu. I’m bummed I won’t be seeing Alex anymore. He was on the same bus, but much further back so I only talked to him when we stopped. I really want a man of my own. Preferably someone attractive like him. Hmm.

I took a short nap when I got here and afterwards checked the movie listings. Maze Runner just came out. I remember reading that book at B and N while still working in Minneapolis so I got really excited and went and saw the movie. It took a while to walk there and the streets were crowded, but it was definitely nice and relaxing once I got there. Well, aside from the cell phone talkers in the theater. Those people clearly don’t know if we were in America they would be shot for doing something like that. Literally shot. It’s been forever (well, since I was in Turkey anyway) since I watched a movie. It was nice to just sit. The walk back was also much more relaxed because there were very few people on the streets. It was a little creepy, but so much less hectic with very few horns and cars and motorbikes.

I’m exhausted right now. I got up at 6 am this morning to get the bus and didn’t get to bed nearly as early last night. I Feel this streak of going to bed ridiculously early and getting up way too early coming to an end. Oh well. It was kind of nice change of pace.

I have had a lot of people messaging me on g since getting here. I’m really not that interested in meeting anyone. I would be, but I just feel like such a tubby lard of shit that meeting anyone – even with clothes on – isn’t an idea I’m totally excited about. I suppose we’ll see. Maybe I’ll magically feel better about this situation tomorrow. I still don’t think I’ll want to meet anyone for fooling around, at least not specifically for that – if it happens it happens.

In the morning I’m going to Indian visa office and will hopefully get that all taken care of. I’m excited to finally be done with that. As it turns out, I probably could have had them put it in over a month ago. Oh well.

Today was a pretty good day. I think that tomorrow will be too. I’ve got to do some shopping for trinkets and other such stuff. I feel like my backpack has gotten lighter so I’m excited about that. I also need to book my flight to Delhi. Once I’ve handed in my passport and know that I can go back tomorrow I’ll feel fine booking a flight. There were a few I was looking at already I just need to check the baggage policy. My big suitcase has definitely gotten lighter since I’ve managed to abandon a few more things, but I’ve still got a whole bunch of stuff. It’ll be ok though. I dragged the backpack down the dusty, not real roads of Kathmandu on the way to this guesthouse after getting off the bus and managed fine. I wouldn’t want to drag everything all over India, but flying to Delhi and dumping my suitcase there will work well.

Gratitude List:
Back in KTM and moving on with things
The desire and motivation to get myself back in shape so I can jump back into the dating game
A relaxing time watching an interesting movie
