desert girl

today, to celebrate the New Moon, (and the fact that i'll be leaving the free wi-fi in the tent part of my journey soon) today is a multi-post day. let's follow my progress.

i slept really well, asleep by 10pm and up before 7am. i feel great and i slept well. the coffee's good, i've switched to putting vanilla soymilk in my coffee instead of the whole milk i was indulging in before. i've gained weight here at hueco, what with the social time snacks and the liquor? sharing a bottle of wine with someone can quickly gain you a friend and in most cases it's worth it. i've made a few friends on this trip that i really hope to see again. it's nice to occasionally "click" with someone, and it actually makes the trip go by faster.
i wonder who i'll climb with today. i have a reservation from a girl who just left, but i don't have the number. if i don't have the number, they can refuse me entry at the gate, so i'm intensely suspicious about today's events. i feel so zen. i just sat in the sun and stretched. i've discovered that i'm a bit of a sun worshipper, and today is clear blue sky. the sky is huge down here, and there have been few clouds lately. it's quite amazing to lie on your back on the ground and all you see is blue. blue in your peripheral vision, and blue straight ahead. i like the desert.
i'm celebrating hueco, but it's definitely time to move on. the girl who gave me the reservation was leaving this morning. she thought maybe she'd be here a few more days, but she woke up today and the time was right. that's what i'm waiting for right now, i can sense that it's almost time to move on.
this freedom thing is great, and it just messes up the whole thing when you have to sit in line to get to the rock. you can see it from the gate, and it's just like sitting next to a bowl of ice cream that you're not allowed to eat. hopefully hueco doesn't melt while we're stuck waiting.

i worked out while facing the sun today. i feel like i'm charging my solar batteries, and i really concentrated on waking up my core muscles, since i need them so badly to climb here. i think i'll visit my project today. sent a wake up call to my muscles.

so, the coffee is good and i have a great power cereal mixed up. it's dried cranberries, bran and oat cereal, wheat puffs and a bit of the expensive organic stuff. i throw a bit of strawberry jam in to kill the fiber flavour. apparently though, my body didn't want it since i mixed up the cereal and then came to the tent without it. body say it want coffee only now. me listen to body.

i feel proud today. my confidence is up. i need to eat well and exercise a lot to feel good about myself, and i just don't feel that i've been that active in hueco. the bouldering really wears you out and rest is a must. resting is really boring.

i can't wait to climb! i'm going to go get ready.
