I've been training twice a day thus far this week, but I probably won't train a second time today... it's my "day off". Things are still going really well at camp. My solo got turned into a duet, which is fine. It takes some pressure off me and allows another woman to have a big act. She's great, so I think it will be a lot of fun to create something together. In addition, I got an extra transitional fabric part that should be a lot of fun. It is with the woman I'm performing the duet with and another woman... we get to be monkey! Intrigued much? Hells yeah you are!!

In other news, sadly, I haven't been on any hikes in a while, but that should change today. I'm planning to go out the Dale Ball trails just outside of Santa Fe and trek around for a while. I'm also in search of pools and swimming places because it is freakin' hot here. I talked to one of my instructors the other day and she asked if I would do some childcare work-trade with her. Free swimming for looking after her 8 year old while she's training. I'm down.

Saturday looks like it will be a big day. We have training, which will involve getting all the acts together and creating all the transitions. Then it's Albuquerque Pride. Then some other BUSTers and I might be performing at a benefit, just doing some acro stuff together. Then it's a Pride Afterparty/Poolparty. So down!

Right now I'm at a different house than I had been. My hostess' roommate's parents are in town for a couple days and they needed the space I was in. It's all good though because at that bbq my hostess had last Saturday I met a bunch of her friends, two of whom were gracious enough to put me up for a couple days. This weekend I'll be house-sitting for my original hostess because she and her housemates will be out of town. They might end up letting me stay through early July if I help out with rent and utilities. I'm down, if it means I don't have to be moving around all the time.

Just yesterday I started to feel the first pangs of homesickness. Not that I really miss a particular place, but that I miss feeling like I'm going home and have my own space. And much more so missing the people who I associate with home. I meeting so many cool people out here, but I miss baking cookies with Ben, making pancakes with Elliot, dancing with Alex, griping with Athena, chatting with Claire, and drinking with everybody.

I'm still looking for a job, but I'm feeling less hopeful. I have an interview tomorrow at a food co-op, but I doubt they'll want someone for 3-1/2 weeks. We'll see.

Well, I'm off to the trails... but first sunscreen.
