• the regular ferry is out, and the replacement takes only 32 cars. I have on some days missed my boats, both coming and going, when driving my car. The motorcycle would solve this, as bikes load first on all sailings. • I was getting used to vacation schedule. Money coming in, not working . . . pretty nice. Reality, you are a harsh mistress. • schlepping lots of stuff to and from school • no more regular paychecks • new instructors, new expectations, new grading schemes • curtails my hiking schedule considerably! • no more medical insurance; I purchased a flexible "catastrophic" policy • the cost of gas and ferry tickets • I think I've started having hot flashes • my feet hurt from hiking with a 40-pound pack and perhaps inadequate arch support. I'll get SuperFeet or something. Pros of same: • back in the saddle again, I have a routine • social interactions with people doing what I'm doing • mental and physical challenge at an appropriate level • Fridays off is still a bitchin' schedule! • sushi at Sapporo, right by school • access to cheaper gas and shopping off the island • ability to work mornings or evenings • Donkee has work for me, so I have fun money • Donkee gave me a key to the urban sanctuary • meds work! • I have a renewed vigor and interest in outside activities. I want to go skiing this winter, maybe. • the romantic life is quite lovely at the moment Read/Post Comments (1) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
