Moving in

The past weeks have been a whirlwind.  Closed last Friday, moved in Wednesday, received a sea of cardboard boxes filled with all of our earthly possessions on Thursday morning, unexpectedly early.  Toss in a four week summer course in general linguistics, a two week intensive methodology course for a visiting group from Mexico and final grades due TODAY, and one gets the sense that the world is spinning a few degrees faster.

My cycling life has taken a hit of sorts.  After initially maintaining my weekly time in the saddle, I got tired.  No other way to explain it.  Perhaps the altitude acclimation, perhaps the crazy work schedule and stress of moving…

So now we’re a few weeks along in our Colorado experience, half a week in our new Manitou home, and I’m not so tired today, even though our Sunday group did a good, hard climbing ride up to the zoo and through the Garden of the Gods. 

Maybe this is starting to feel like home.
