Log:
I spent the morning working on a structure to store lumber and the afternoon with my favorite retaining wall. In between the two I was soaking up the sun on the CCAT patio, hooray for thermal mass!
After work I went for a much needed run in the forest. Sigh, it was more needed than I realized. I had Rosie take my backpack and bike home. How interesting it was to be home without my laptop or books. I didn’t realize how entertained I am by both of them. I took advantage of that down time by spending some real reflective time in my personal journal. My reflection led me to so many questions.

Questions:
-Why am I not confident in my ability to read people’s reactions lately?
-Why am I holding back in some of my friendships here?
-What would my trip be like if I lived with different people?
-Why am I so uncharacteristically shy around a lot of folks here?
-What undercurrents in relationships am I missing?

Perceptions:
It feels odd to not live with the people I work with. I’m used to the SENS house, the separation makes me feel like I don’t get the full picture at either place (home or CCAT).
