Home

The flight this morning was disturbingly easy (I went to sleep for the 3 hours, in case you were wondering), and now I'm home.

For a month. Starting to get overwhelmed with the length of that duration, but I'll get a job and the time will go by. I'll miss my friends.

I'm going to work on the calendar this weekend; by Monday, it should be ready to go. Thanks for all the ideas and support.

Tomorrow I'm running a half marathon and on Sunday I'm playing at 2 Christmas gigs. So, a busy weekend to start off the break.

I'm going to call the LBS and see if they'll let me rent a bike for a month. I know it's doubtful, but worth a try, I suppose. Maybe I'll also put an ad on the triathlon site in Lafayette to see if anyone around here wants to work something out. If worse comes to worse, I'll spin and ride my mom's hybrid. It's not like I was riding my bike outside in New Jersey anyhow...

I actually have a lot of goals and things to accomplish for this next month here. I need to get my Bike and Build fund-raising jump-started; I need to practice regularly to be ready for next semester's auditions and recitals; I need to study for the big music history prerequisite exam that is known to be next-to-impossible; I need to save as much money as possible to be able to finance my triathlon season this year; I need to rededicate myself to training and establish a base for the IronMan training that will start in January.

And of course, I need to relax and have a good time with my family and friends.

So, maybe the month won't seem so long after-all.

(And yes, I'm aware that's the second post in a row that I ended with the word 'after-all'.)

It will cruise by so fast...try to enjoy it as much as you can. Before you know it you will be back into the crunch of school/training/life chaos! This is a good breather in the meantime.
