I am getting very handy at making a dropped egg on a camp stove with homemade bread. I like traveling this way. Eating my food means I get to travel more. Wahoo!
It was an interesting week. The day we left for the mountain I was told that the company I work for was ending my contract at the end of the month. The corporate answer is that they were cutting costs. The real reason is that I told the truth to a customers. I was told I needed to share lessons learned. I did. Well that was an oops. But I had a co-worker call the corporation evil today sooo . . . It is just a paycheck. It was just a paycheck before I was told that they were ending my contract. They ran with the "fire me if it is that important." I find that truth is but that is not the corp.
The mountain was about maintenance, eating ice cream, family, books. Relaxation was much needed. I am thinking that I will sleep for a week after my contract ends. I have sent my resume out but I am thinking about other things. Sick stomache feeling but excited at the same time. I might set up shop or see if my butcher would take me on as apprentice or if the sewing repair shop would be interested in a home quilter geophysicist. Many ideas.
Maybe I should travel more and perfect camp cooking. Sounds like a plan!
