i wish i wrote more
i wish i wrote more, i really do! is life really too busy to reflect? or is it because i have a mostly great soundboard to bounce my ideas off every morning and every night from the comfort of my bed? it is really quite special to have a partner like that.
it is with this acknowledgment, i realize how "it" could be totall different this summer. nik has found a dreamjob in montana-nana (altho he has not been hired yet). i am digging the small but imperfect life of ouray. my time with americorps ends may 1, and suddenly i am free of all normalcy! i plan to contract myself out to the ouray county weed department, weehawken creative arts, switzerland of american jeep tours, and the western colorado interpretive association. hopefully this generates some nice cheese and experience-of-course. imperative as well is time to attend kayleigh's gradumacation and visit nik's worksite, and fingers crossed for california time.
i really am quite excited about this plan. i know nik is too. finally: a reciprocal, beneficial, time apart. to chill inside my head for a whiiile.
----------
so, how wonderful has this past year's job been? ...really? i have to say that it feels stellar to write up a quick $5,000 grant for immediate submission in less than 2 hours. it also cannot be downplayed how cool it is to get a serious job offer on the chair lift during powderhorn ski resort's 'telefest'! i have discovered some very valuable talents that are begging for - exploitation!
course, things here are not perfect. my driving log is obscene. my coffee shop has bad coffee. my bar is full of drunks. my only options are 10 miles away with adolescent curfews. i have four girl friends tops, and a handful guy friends that i don't ever see outside the bar. i sustain off the colorado-vista crew, far away friends, and work colleagues. would it not be better in a town with more than 1,000 people? ah, goodbye san juans, goodbye tasty beer. although the local 40+ crowd is nice, i've been here with nik all along for support, and i miss growing aside my peers. i just need six more months...
lets not move too fast.
