Pattaya Pete's Journal

Well it is not long now.  I’ve got approximately three weeks left before I’m wheels up and heading back to Pattaya Thailand.  It strange that I’m not that excited like I once was when heading there.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m really looking forward to 2 weeks of fun and relaxation, but that buzz that I get before my previous trips just isn’t there.  I think it has to do with quite a few things.

I’ve been there before, so I do know what to expect.  The ‘unknown’ factor does have a way of increasing the intensity of the post trip excitement.  I will be going to Phuket for a few days, which isn’t new either, but I haven’t been there in a few years.

I’m also fixated on my job and making money at the moment.  This is taking a lot of my time and energy.  It will be good to kick back after 6 long months of work.  And I must say I’m not really enjoying the job at the moment.  So my mood is a bit somber.

I’m also out of shape and had been planning to get back in shape before the trip.  It always gets me down when I don’t hit my goals.  Too much beer and pub food for this guy.  I’m going to hit it hard these last three weeks and see if I can cut 10 pounds.  No beer or junk food – well after tonight.

Probably the last thing is I’ve really been in a bit of a funk for the past few months(years) and I haven’t quite shaken it.  It is hard for me to get motivated to do anything really.  I need to change that aspect of my life, and I’m actively working on it.

Well after all that downer stuff, I will say that I am looking forward to the trip.  If I can hit a few goals before I get there, I’ll be a lot happier.  That’s all for now.
