...that doesn't cost $700,000 for a 1980's 2-bedroom, 1700 square-foot duplex in North Boulder, what? Housing prices are beyond outrageous here. We're looking more and more to rent until we can unearth something more reasonable. I'm going to look into a few cohousing communities in town that may have rentals available. And I think we may draw a wider circumference around Boulder proper...maybe look east into the range a little more. We've been mostly looking in the foothills and on the western side of town, but now we're feeling the need to get Mark into a home instead of the Homebound Suites (adequate, clean, comfortable and safe, but definitely not home) soon. So that's on my agenda today, along with a hot yoga class at CorePower in Broomfield and scoring some new hiking boots at my new favorite store, REI (Really Expensive Inventory).
Woke up this morning to 33 degrees and a light snow. The mountains are dusted and shimmering in the morning light. Marks office window looks west to the Flatirons and the Rockys beyond. Beautiful.
I think we're heading up and over the mountains this afternoon to see Michelle and the kids...we'll test out mountain pass driving after a dusting, though most of the snow should be gone by this afternoon. They say that snow comes and goes so quickly around here....
I have 78 emails from school....OCS feels far away. I feel like an observer these past 3 days. Like all of life always does, school will carry on without me. I don't mean to be morbid or self-deprecating, it's really just how it is. The mountains, the ocean, the rocks, the fruit of my labor will all carry on no matter where my path leads me...and I find that comforting and humbling.
