an update, of sorts
yeah, i'm still around. i'm thinking a lot about my move to utah and leaving everyone here. its difficult to wrap my head around, because its not necessarily something i want to wrap my head around. i'm having to also find a home for at least one of my four cats which is completly and utterly heart breaking. i'll probably take her -- lily - to greenhill humane society. i have to make the call tommmorrow :(. seriously :( :( :( but simply cannot take 4 cats, and i probably shouldn't take 3, but its simply too hard to part with any of them. so, i'm not posting because i have to do some incredibly sad things over the next 2 months.
BUT. i found out yesterday that i get to go on the 5 day river trip with the tuesday group. group leader simply made my day by telling me i could go. i didn't think i was going to be able to go because of the number of teens who want to go.. but thats changed and i'm thrilled to be able to do this trip. i've spent numerous days on the river, but i've not ever been on a multiday trip - there isn't a lot of that to do in the south east. not only will i get to spend 5 days with my most favourite people in the world these days (LEAD), but i'll get to do it in the high desert. so, while i've got some absolutely heart breaking things i've got to deal with, i've also got some terribly exciting things to do as well.
i also got a road bike. group leader (and friend) called me monday afternoon to let me know that there was a small roadbike at st. vinnies for $20, so i went and checked it out and it fit me perfectly. so now i have a road bike that will allow me to take longer rides, which i'm jazzed about as well. i don't know when i'll get a chance to take it out -- maybe this weekend -- but i'll find some time, and after i get to logan i'll have time as well.
also i hope to get in my boat sometime soon. i'm thinking i may take a few hours on friday to put my boat on top of my car, stick the bike in (it folds up) and go paddle on the willamette. its not a thrill a minute whitewater, but its whitewater nonetheless and i can do a bike shuttle and go out by myself. i may also take a friend to dexter on sunday and show him a bit about boating, which will be good for both of us i suspect.
on that note, i should get ready to go to LEAD, class and the white privilage workshop tonight. its a long day, but not too long, afterall i am posting this at 10am.
