Back in Bangkok, I ate khao man gai and worked at a coworking space until 8 PM. Asking about what's been on my mind — such a small step forward. The sense of accomplishment from finishing one project, and that girl who's still in my head.

I woke up at 7 again today. But I still wanted to sleep more, so I fell back asleep and ended up waking up at 10. It had been a long time since I slept that much, but I don’t want my wake-up time to slip back to around noon. After all, I finally managed to establish the habit of getting up at 8 in the morning.

Ask about what’s bothering you. Just doing that is progress.

I took a shower, got ready, and went out! I asked, “How many people are coming today?” and was told two. For a moment I thought I didn’t need to ask, but asking isn’t a bad thing, and since I was curious I asked. I think that’s important. So I asked. Okay, good.

I walked to a nearby khao man gai shop. It was really small and cute. But the M size was 120 baht, so it felt expensive. I thought, that’s typical Bangkok, but even so it’s only about 530 yen, so it’s cheap. I guess Chiang Mai is just too cheap in comparison.

Worked on the Pepper Plan Project until 8:00 PM.

After eating khao man gai I walked to the Pepper Plan Project — a coworking space where I can focus. When I got to the lobby, it wasn’t opened by card like before; a new elevator had been installed. Thailand moves fast! It’s annoying that the front desk person has to scan the card key every time, I thought.

There I ordered a drink that was like a dessert version of cold brew, and worked until 8:00 PM. I don’t remember the name, but it was really delicious.

Today I had an enormous amount of work and it was a very busy day, but I managed to finish one project successfully. Even that gave me a huge sense of accomplishment and made me happy.
