Settled in

Settled in, originally uploaded by treknpaddle.

 

I haven’t blogged in a while. Part of that has to do with being busy- I’m teaching a Wilderness First Responder course in NH at the home base. I haven’t taught here since I was training, and it is quite an honor. It also puts me on a crazy schedule where I have dinner at 5 pm.

The other and perhaps the larger issue at work here is that I managed to leave the wall charger for my laptop at home. This is a big thing for me as I’m not sure the mac and its charger have ever been this far apart in the 2 1/2 years I’ve owned it. So anything I choose to write I have to do on the phone, which is not impossible but also not ideal.

It feels later than it is. This has a little to do with the fact that we had dinner today at 4:30 because the other class on our ca pus had an evening session tonight. I have this feeling that that isn’t actually bad for me at all, though it is a bot strange.

I fasted from dinner last night to dinner tonight as part of my weekly routine. This was the first time ive fasted while teaching and I’m happy to say that it was an absolute success. I hope I can keep up my weekly fasting- I already thought it would be good for it health and my budget, but now I’m quite certain of it.

This picture is of the dorm room I have taken over on campus, balance ball and everything. It’s a small space in which to work out in the mornings, but certainly enough space. It’s good to be here with so many of my co-workers whom I never see, teaching in a classroom I have loved ever since I was a student here, working for a company I have loved since my first course with them back in my whitewater days…
