Saturday I went to a meeting and decided to go on a hike afterwards. I have been feeling pretty out of shape lately and a flight of stairs from one block to the next puts me into heavy breathing mode. Not good. I started hiking up the top of town towards the mountain. I ran into a few people I knew and followed them up to a popular mountain bike trail. It was perfect and exactly what I was looking for that day. I had the cheap camera so I just took some snapshots to get the effect. I saw a few houses before leaving town that I liked. This one was for sale for I believe $1.2 mil.
I liked this little house better and think the quaintness of the house would suit me just fine! I don't think I could live here full time but it's fun to play around either way.
The hike went up a mountain bike and hiking trail. We trudged through a decent amount of snow but most of it from last weeks storm is long ago melted. Still nice.
The rest of the day I ate some bad food; Wendy's .99 menu and a pint of Haagen Daz Coffee Ice Cream. Body for Life! Oh well, I haven't been eating so bad lately.
I woke up Sunday and it was a gorgeous day and near perfect. I got in my car to go take off and make the most of the day and it wouldn't start. I turned it over and over repeatedly and nothing. I even jumped it with my roommates car and it would not start. Luckily I have roadside assistance on my insurance and got it towed this morning to a mechanic I was referred to.
Today was my first day at work. We had new employee orientation all day and it was pretty cool. The mission of the organization is solid and I like working there and look forward to being busy and productive. I left about 8:15 to grab the bus at the end of the block. After getting on and traveling to a few stops I began to feel like I was in junior high school again as new people would get on the bus and I can remember back then thinking who else was on my bus. Pretty wild.
After work I took the bus to the gym in town and worked out legs. It was a pretty nice gym and I liked the energy. I then left and made my hour and a half long commute back home.
It's all an adventure now so I don't mind. Each day is new and I won't be here at this job forever so I just intend to do my best and make the most of the opportunity. It's pretty wild how I wound up here and I think it is all for a bigger plan than I even know at this time. Things just seemed to flow so easily in getting the job, finding a place to live, and life certainly is easy here. I think it would be cool to make another film in the future and I think I have a lot of books, experience, thoughts, introspection, conversations, meetings, etc. to fuel an interesting creative effort. I just need to let the idea germinate and have the willingness to express it all. We'll see.
The time seems to go by so slowly here. I am writing this at 9:30 and it seriously feels like 11:30. I guess that is good. I've rambled long enough. More to come.
