transition: part one
yesterday my dad packed up mr. lew's van (for those who remember the "e-wing" days, yes, its the same eggplant-colored van on its last legs..still. hah) with my futon, futon mattress thingy, bookshelf, papasan chair and a lot of dry beans that didn't fit in auggie (the rav4 has a name, in case you forgot). we hopped onto 2W and drove out here to my new place!
i tell ya, auggie is a fabulous moving companion. i fit almost all my stuff, which i thought was going to take at least 2 trips, and she didn't even burn more gas than usual since i had to make sure i didn't lose daddy-o in the ol' van on the "highway". so yesterday was A LOT of lifting and draggin things upstairs and bothering baker (the dog here, a german shepher..sweet and horse-like) and chad helping hook up the internet (wireless, we decided, was ultimately easier than a damn cable running through the house) and unpacking. miss sara brought me dinner and helped me arrange furniture and i climbed into bed at 11 which is late for this little pixie, only to arise at my usual hour of 630. i'll need a nap before i teach tonight.
this place smells so good. it's in the middle of the country...i look out onto a cornfield, recently taken down. the energy is warm and cozy, and my room is incredible. i feel like i don't really want to leave tonight to work at the greenhouse mon-thurs this week. but that's ok. i'll be ok. this pixie is stepping into the world with open heart and mind, and so humbled by every experience right now.
before i left i asked my mom if i was going to be ok. she said, "robin, i have no doubts or worries. you are going to be fine." and, since she's my mom and has never been wrong about anything, i think i'll believe her.
much love to all, namaste'
