Sunday afternoon. Back after running errands today.
The vibe in my neighborhood is not what I would necessarily describe as totally friendly. People definitely give me weird looks on the street and in the shops. You know, just that general “oh, great, another foreigner” vibe.
I get it. It’s like when I’m in DC and I see the tourists wandering about looking totally clueless. Like, I don’t want them in my neighborhood. They should be where they belong, in the tourist district. I totally get the vibe.
I’m sorry. I couldn’t afford the luxury loft anymore. I didn’t know where else to go. Blame the owners, not me. Also, I really wanted to get away from Ze German. He was too much for me. He asked me for my Instagram and instead of telling him to go fuck himself, I gave it to him. And then I waited three days and blocked him because I don’t want this professional X Troll sending me memes about how men are superior to women physically. Okay, go off, beefcake. You know what? You’re right. Men ARE physically stronger than woman. So if you’re so strong and manly, how about you carry these heavy suitcases up the stairs for me and shut the fuck up? Kthnxbyefelicia!
Ugh.
Good riddance.
ANYWAY…
Today has been full of adventures. I get to squeegee the floor in my bathroom after every shower. Still have not figured out the laundry situation, but I have the detergent and I know the location, so I’ll get to that when I need to. Coffee was a different price today than yesterday? Yesterday they charged me more? I don’t know. The vibe isn’t great. I like my other coffee shop better. Now that I have my metro card back, I can just go there and write for awhile.
Picked up toilet paper and bottled water. I didn’t realize how hot it was. Now I know why no one goes walking around here. I’m just gonna get stuff like that delivered from now on. There’s no need to do it myself when there are so many men around you can pay to carry the heavy stuff for you. I guess it’s just a reason to leave the house?
Well, now I have my metro card back, so I can explore again. I still have to call the number and cancel the old one. It’s a whole thing! I have a new conspiracy theory that I left the old one in the pocket of my pants and it dissolved in the wash. I say this because I checked the pocket of those pants today and there was this weird white substance all over the inside of the pocket. I definitely left something in there. Who knows?
Well, I learned a lesson and I didn’t put as much money on it this time. Go me. I’m less dumb already. What an accomplishment.
There’s a dead lizard slowly rotting away out on my balcony. The window of the balcony is screened off. It feels like looking out a prison cell. There’s also a pair of men’s jeans just casually tossed out on the metal rooftop next to said balcony. Not sure what’s going on there, but they’ve been sitting there in a pile since I got here.
Sometimes I’m just like… wow… I can’t believe I’m in Thailand. How did that happen? So crazy and random. What will the next 30 days bring? Hopefully a job and some money. Not sure I want to stay in Thailand. I want to go somewhere else. Just because I can.
Today I wish I was in India doing yoga. It’s very annoying that I am not there, but I also follow the path where it leads. It did not lead me back West this time. It did not lead me to India. I don’t know where it’s going next. I just know it’s not going in that direction at this time.
Where is this ship sailing? Who knows! I don’t even know. Well, we know it’s not going to Mexico, lol. Or the US. I just need to be away from there for longer, but I do have many places I would like to visit south of the border. Specifically Brazil, as we all know. I’m obsessed with Brazil. Who isn’t, honestly? It’s a vibe. I would go there now, but it’s such a long way from here. I feel like I should stay in Asia right now.
I don’t know. Cast a wide net, hoes. That’s all I can say.
I have no idea what I’m doing. I’m staying inside in the AC with no lights on and the fan on full blast, watching Netflix and eating takeout. I am lying flat. I am overwhelmed. I am opting out of society for the rest of the day and just chillin’ out.
The End
