I wish anyone could have been a fly on the wall to just witness the past few days of my life. It really feels like the twilight zone. Of course I woke up early today because from Butler Creek, it takes about 40 minutes to get to town. So I left at 8AM after taking care of the animals; the drive is sketchy, but kind of fun sliding around in the bug. Cory drives the VW Bug TDI turbo diesel and the thing is a beast regardless of the amount of work that has to be done to it before it’s truly considered ironclad. I got to Healthy Being around 8:45AM and decided to try a new smoothie today (Orange Crush). It was fine, but I won’t deviate again. The days at JHJC are kind of hellish. I can manage the work, but it’s tedious, pointless, thankless and you can never complete a project without getting interrupted. I wont last long here. Today was so hectic I didn’t take my break until close to 4PM. Lunch was spinach fennel soup and bless that cafe for making such incredible soups.

Work continued to suck until the doors locked at 6PM – of course I was only getting started on things that had to be done, but that’s okay! I got out by 6:20PM and headed west to get back to the Bemis compound. It had been snowing pretty good all day up that way, so once I realized how bad the roads were down Fall Creek I had the thought in my head… I won’t say it yet. The Bug and I got to the bottom of what I like to describe as “Mount Crumpit” and gave it the good ol’ college try. I took her up to the first switchback and she started backtracking on me. From there I kept sliding, so I drove back down the hill. At that point it became a challenge; I made my way back up the first leg and couldn’t even make it to the switchback. With nowhere to turn around I had to back all the way down the hill. This happened twice more before I decided to ditch the car and WALK up to the Bemis residence. I made good time, took the trash in… even though the garage door is broken so I had to manually open and close it, I fed the animals, cleaned the bunny cage and took a breath before eating a less than satiating cucumber dinner.

I don’t know how I’m going to make it down Mt. Crumpit tomorrow with all of my belongings. Truly. Cursed. I’m also taking a night poop right now which is so uncommon… I won’t think too much into it because my energy has already been thrown down the drain for this week. I miss my friends. I miss snowboarding. God is testing me.
