moving right along now

good morning, world! sitting here trying to caffeinate myself into some forward motion. it's not going too well.

%p

had a really good day yesterday, gardening all day with eileen & then off to a barbecue in the evening with some of their good friends who live in the south valley. great food and tons of fresh tomatoes & herbs and salad-y stuff from the garden. their place is amazing, full of really cool carved wood pieces heidi brought back from thailand when she was teaching there and their yard is like a sculpture garden (her husband, robert, is a metal sculptor). it's so weird to be back here after so long, and yet, not really. could not fall asleep last night, was up til after 1am, thinking and twisting in the night. many thoughts; many, many thoughts.

today, eileen & doug are off to the jemez to get started on the house they'll eventually live in full time someday. they're going to do a little stake & string outline of the silhouette & they're both super excited. i opted to stay here; i have a new dresser that doug picked up for me for $25! it'really cute and old and will be perfect for the guest room i intend to have in my place here someday. it has a little mirror and is exactly the kind of piece you would expect from me. so, i'm gonna unpack suitcases and just continue getting settled. i also want to hit target and a grocery store and....maybe check out my storage space? maybe, i said. %p

what else?

i think that's it. tonight, i'm cooking for the two homesteaders, and tomorrow i'm going to help eileen get her classroom set up. she goes back to school on wednesday. once i have my computer set up (hopefully today), i need to do some major work in the resume, then start looking for a job. part of me wants to be doing everything all at once because, hello, pressure. but a larger, smarter part of me is like...

do not rush it.

so, yeah. maybe i'm learning finally.

and here's this:




kthxbye,

life, new mexico
