My car went away today. I really liked that car. Hope I made the right decision. Now, how do I get the house to rent or sell?

I paid for the rest of my TEFL class. I wonder if I’ll get called for the Antarctica interview now.

I got home late last night and was so delighted to be home alone in my very quiet house. This morning I got up and felt overwhelmed with everything that still has to be done to leave and I felt totally and completely alone, lonely. How can alone be wonderful last night and feel devastating today? I’ve been single for 11 years and it’s not what I want, yet, now I feel like I am actively choosing it. I cried a lot today. Some of it was my friend’s stuff that I was carrying after visiting them. Some of it is because I just feel beat up with all the last minute Antarctica stuff. I have lost the ability to make decisions. I can’t pack or research because I don’t know where I’m going. I don’t know if I am selling or renting my house. I am stuck. I had so much trouble working today or doing anything for that matter. Because one major decision can’t be made, my ability to make any decision is lost. This is very uncomfortable.

I got my rescue diver certification this weekend. Whoa, that was exhausting. Lake Chatfield is cold and dark and murky. What a nasty place to dive. Dragging “victims” into shore all day was physically challenging, especially when they are big men and I’m a tiny woman. But, I must say, I rocked it. Saturday night I went home, ate dinner and went straight to bed. Almost the same thing today. It must be a popular place to practice rescue as Little Fire was there today and both days rescue dogs were practicing. Today there were rescue Newfoundlands. What beautiful dogs – made me really miss my Saint Bernard, Kuma. It was almost comical at times to look out across the water at all the pretend victims splashing around.

I got an email from Ibuku stating that they got my information and would let me know if there were any opportunities. Wow, what a concept to acknowledge people that write to you – Hey Antarctica companies, see, it’s not difficult.

I did my Emergency First Responder class tonight. It’s similar to the Red Cross First Aid and CPR classes. I have to take that before I can do the Rescue Diver course.
Now off to a weekend in Grand County with Mike and Lisa! I’m looking forward to mountain biking and hanging out with them. I’m also looking forward to spending some time with Colorado Mother Nature as I will miss the Colorado mountains when I leave.

There is a company in Bali that I am quite impressed with. They make houses and furniture out of bamboo and are trying to teach people about the sustainability of bamboo. They are affiliated with a school, a hotel, and a kids camp also. I researched all the companies and think I would love to work for any of them. I sent my resume and a letter to Ibuku, Bambu Indah, Green Camp, Green Village, and Green School today. I feel really drawn to this group of companies. It would be great to work with them in some way. I got a standard response that Green Camp receives a lot of applications and they will get back to me.
The realtor I was thinking of using to sell the house said she’s list it for $265,000 with the hopes of selling it for $250,000. I’m not quite sure what number I was hoping for, but this was not it. I think I’ll look for another realtor.
