it must be day 24?

i'm tired in a sweet way. had a busy day... walked five miles this morning and tanned (or rather burned) a lovely stripe into my shoulder where i apparently had some exposed skin between my bra and t shirt. i look like a zebra.


taught a few make up classes. got my garage cleaned out. had a fun night out.


as this trip comes closer i realize how much i'm looking forward to it, how much i need it even. there are some things you just feel compelled to do for yourself. at great cost perhaps, without knowing exactly why or how, and sometimes it feels like stepping into a blind place. but there is a sureness in my steps these days that i am immensely grateful for... and even when i have to wear my hiking boots to teach piano lessons, it is ok, laughable really, and i am chipping away towards the future i have dreampt of.
