Muchos Rambles...
I finally have a job; it's a decent one for once. I finally have a chance to save some money for traveling and school. At least I hope I do. I still miss everyone and I still get lost all the time 'though I can manage three blocks before it happens. The difference in air pressure and oxygen is still doing unpleasant things to my system. I've lived at sea-level my whole life and suddenly finding myself up in the mountain ranges is perpetually tiring. If I ever visit home again my system will probably respond to the extra oxygen like the Energizer Bunny on crack. I haven't found the program I want to take yet, the ones I have an interest in can't be applied for until next year. In the mean-time I'm working, saving money, building a portfolio and looking for classes to take so I can maintain some level of skill. Between being oppressively exhausted dealing with a frighteningly early work schedule, I haven't done any exploring of the city. I've been reading and (over) thinking. I have a tendency to think things over to the point of killing the thought before committing to the action--it's not a very good habit. I can't say some of the things I've been thinking about. Mostly petty fears. I'm still not unpacked yet. There are roughly nine boxes still in the garage, waiting to be put away properly. I have to unpack them soon, the garage space is needed for the vehicles in the winter. It's early in September and it's already snowing. This never happened on the coast. I've been loosely thinking of a story/art project to write/draw based on the ballad Tam Lin--it's been bouncing around in my head for over a year. I might actually do something about it if I apply the BIC method (Butt In Chair). I have to bug a friend into showing me the mechanics of a digital camera--I prefer manual but digital is convenient if you don't have a dark room.
