a new hut for me!

so i moved recently into a nice one room hut. some features that make this property so valuable are:

- the tin roof, which prevents earwigs from raining from your ceiling
- electricity (need i say more)
- a proper outhouse that is clean and not too smelly
- a water tap in the front yard (what an idea!!)
- a wonderful and kind new family living right next door
- a shorter trip to and from town, lying only 15km outside of glorious bergville
- the view of the mountains and the lake

yes, my new hut is MUCH smaller than my old one and i have to sleep, bathe, cook, wash clothes/dishes, and do work all in the space of a small american bedroom. but i wouldn't give up this new life for my old one ever. my life has gotten a million times easier which has taken a weight off of my shoulders. i really wanted to prove that i could live without electricity and easy access to water, and i guess i did make it two months, but i never realized how stressful it actually was. you think when you don't have any of the annoyances of a modern life, things should be more relaxed. not true. modern life is easier. no way around that. and sadly, i am not the type of girl who is cut out of the 'camping' lifestyle. using an outhouse and bathing in a bucket is about as much as i can handle, and i don't feel bad about admitting that!

anyways, i am happy again. i don't expect it will last long, but i am glad that i feel it. i was a little unsure for a few weeks there. also, the desks were built this weekend in the computer room that i am getting up and running and work, so one small success has been achieved. gonna give myself a little pat on the back now...
