I'm doing pretty well this past week.  I've been sober now a week and and some days and don't plan to drink on New Years or anytime soon.  I have a cold though.  I have been intermittenly smoking shitty cigarettes and also I smoke weed.  I need to never touch a cigarette again.  It's gross.  I only smoke one or two a day but it's a nasty habit and I don't even like it that much.  The cigarettes I get are poison--not like good, pure tobacco--and it often gives me a headache.  It's a compulsion that is a vestige of my drinking habits.  So, anyway, I feel kinda shitty but have been using my neti-pot and drink tea, soup, and green juices so it's not terribly unbearable.  I'm looking at it with gratitude to tell me to cut out this lame habit i have.  Also am going to look into how to make strong weed oil so I don' thave to smoke weed either.  I made a few batches back in the day, but i want to be exact with it yet i'm afraid to look up a recipe here in Thailand because I know they monitor the internent looking for that shit.  So we will see.  It's actually nice not to smoke pot for a few days.  I really should try to cut back and only smoke occassionally. 

I have been working on an article I am writing about the fast fashion industry. That is what I am going to work on today.  I have also been teaching 2 to 3 hours a day.  I have also gone to some co-working spaces to work on my writing, although I still haven't found the place that I really love yet.  The last one was pretty cool---not to big, not to small and had a chill vibe but they were blasting the AC like it was anartica.  I mean, what the fuck???  i hate that shit.  what a waste of energy, it's so uncomfortable.  i might go back and just bundle up.  maybe they do it to help keep everyone awake.  who knows.  

I also found a hula hoop teacher here in Chiang Mai who gives private lessons for a very cheap price so I'm excited about that!  I can do a few tricks, but want to improve and having private lessons is the best way.  I am also going to enroll in a 6 week course to learn thai, that is 5 days a week, 2 hours a day.  I am excited to have made this decision.  Once I get the basic down then learning on my own/with a tutor once a week will be a lot easier.  

So rigth now I am going to work on my fast fashion article and then go on a hike.  Then harvest my kombucha!  Yum!  Also going to outline some upcoming articles and plan a trip with my Thai friend to check out a few things I want to write some blog posts about.  I am moving slow but I am moving and I keep gaining momentum. Hopefully this cold is out of the way by tomorrow.  

Well let me get this ship onto the water.  :D
