back on the road tomorrow, sort of.

it's been a hard week, for some reasons i understand and for some i haven't figured out yet, some big serious ones and some little nasty bitey ones. i need to sit and write and talk through it all sometime soon, but not tonight. tonight i need to get to sleep (before 3am, even) so that i can get up early and hit the road tomorrow.

Matilda's still in the shop, waiting. the engine arrived from the factory yesterday, and they said they'll get started with the installation on Monday...i'll talk with them again Monday morning and hopefully know more about when she'll be ready and what kind of break-in she'll need then. *little smile* i think some part of my fretting comes from that a large bit of my immediate sense of home is currently tied to Waltzing Matilda; for these three months, she is what is constant, she is the (only) space that belongs to me.

so, on the road again, but in a big silver VW van this time, and heading up to the Georgia woods for just a few days to see Fence and ride 'til i'm too sore to walk, again. (violin, if you're free and want to come & hang out in the woods for an evening, you're welcome to...but i'm assuming that Sunday & Monday nights probably don't work so well for you, and i know it's a long drive.) no internet, but my phone does seem to work out there. (ooh! just remembered...we have a fire-circle by the house now, so i can burn things! fire fire fire fire fire!)

...and the Extended Roadtrip Mix from nacht_musik arrived, complete with many lovely stamps (the Buckminster Fuller one rocks), so i'll have more new music to listen to for the drive. *smile*
