todd is in santa cruz taking care of his dad, who is still in the ICU. please send positive healing thoughts to his lungs if you are so inclined. and so i am alone up on the mountain. the wind has been vicious. it shakes the windows and knocks things over, myself included. at the top of my chair lift the other day the wind gusts reaches 115 mph, and so we closed. however while moving a bench the wind picked me up and blew me over. i was all alone up there, it felt so insanely lonely, like in a second i could be picked up and blown away and no one would notice.
i was laid off on sunday, which means i have been enjoying much relaxing and shredding. it also means that sooner than later we will be moving away to seek excitement in greener pastures.
it will be terribly hard to leave though. we have been living a pretend life, where simplicity and making enough to make ends meet are all you need. but that makes me wonder, why should that be a pretend life? i have spent the majority of my adult life trying to impress people with my successes and career benchmarks, and i have never felt so fulfilled and purposeful as i have here in mammoth. i wonder if it is because i know it is temporary, or if i was destined to be a mountain girl???
by the way, when making cookies at 7000 feet, don't forget to make the appropriate adjustments. i forgot.
i would also like to make this point: taking time to re-set your priorities, take care of yourself and your loved ones, and truly appreciate the moments as they appear before you will completely change your life. i am a completely different person than i was 2 months ago. it is awesome.
