Mountain Journals and the Occasional Deluge

Well, I made it two days and nights (straight, and aside from previous exploratory hikes) on the moutain before the rain flushed me out. There is something profoundly disconcerting about being both by a creek and in a stream so I am taking cover under a roof until the rain lets up. In the downtime I'll post a couple of journal entries which I am keeping while on my "adventure" as it were. I'll try to post the most recent ones whenever I get rained out or come back for more supplies. Hope everything is going well with all my bloggy-land friends. Oh, and I promise never to use the word "bloggy-land" again!! :) Right now I'm struggling with feelings of being a bit of a loser. It's very easy to forget how hard you have worked once there is nothing to do and no one to do it with. I programmed myself, while in TX, to be very hard on myself if I wasn't doing what I should be (ie, work or school) and now that there is nothing I HAVE to do I find it rather hard to cope with the nagging sensation that something is amiss. Transition is always such a bitch for me....oh, well cest la vie I suppose. Namaste to all, I'll be back whenever I can.
