Are y’all getting sick of this god damn view yet? Well, I’m not! I find myself taking so many pictures of this mountain.. it feels a little silly but it’s hard not to when it’s all you see each and every day. I forget it’s even there at times, and then I round some corner and BAM! Volcano looming around every corner.
Even when I’m all the way out in Portland or Hood River, it’s there. As long as the sky is clear. Which yesterday, it was! Just in time for the crowds to roll up in preparation for our little music festival; although I feel it’s somewhat of a misnomer. And that’s no disrespect to the event; I just feel as though most people picture a multi-day event when they hear that terminology; or maybe that’s just where I’m from. Or maybe not. I dunno!
Preparing for said festival at work made for an interesting day. Lots of monotonous, tedious tasks and hiding exclusive product from the eyes of the public and coworkers alike. Why we can’t sell said product the day before the festival? Beats me; but apparently people get mad jealous if someone else gets something before them. We’re a funny species, huh?
As has been the norm this week, the evening quickly turned wet and cold. I did my little run down the mountain from work again.. but this one got real soggy real fast. By the time I got back to the van, much to my own disappointment; I was ready to curl up and call it a day. I’m starting to learn my lesson here; when it’s cold, stay away from the van. Most of the time I just go back there to charge my phone; and then by the time it’s at 50% I’m changing into my pajamas. It’s only the first week of September and the colds already kinda kicking my ass; so maybe I need to get my heat situation bumped up to priority number one. For nothing more than to stop killing my motivation to get back out there and keep on chugging.
It’s not bad though. Despite calling it quits on my day a little early, I yet again broke 20k; so maybe it’s not abnormal to call it quits after that? I wasn’t tired, but I suppose that is a full day. And what else am I gonna do in a 100 person town at 10pm when it’s 40 degrees, dark and raining? I gotta cut myself some fuckin slack, man
