at Chris and Scharmin’s place, they are still in the mountains. I feel like I have landed on another planet, familiar, but the looming challenge of a stable and relatively static year of teaching and single-parenting. Loki arrives in 2.5 weeks. Antsy to unload the car of stuff, disgorge at the storage unit with the other stuff that I left five weeks ago. and start hunting for a place. asap.
the stresses of finance I try to face up. money spent. a year of rent would buy two acres in Crestone. or so. but this is not the time to think about that. this is the time to begin settling, not to have it completed. and it is a time to live things fully.
