alone at new place

My computer died unexpectedly, so I am alone at my new 2 bd (finally) until he comes in a few days. I'll get a land line through my broadband connection on the 6th (unlimited local and long distance for $30/month!). I get to unpack and go shopping for fun things like toilet paper.
No phone, radio, CD player, computer, or anything. I'm at the library right now and I can actually go to the Plant Science building anytime--and Ithaca actually feels safe enough to go to that at 3 in the morning (if I wanted to).

The work is starting already. I'm new to horticulture, so I was given a huge stack of research articles and books to read through. I feel like I can pick up new information better than I used to, so the challenge will be to test that and really push myself, without working unsustainably hard. I have to know where my balance point is. That makes some kind of meditation practice, whether it be moving or still, really important. I meditated for just fifteen minutes today and all these unexpected feelings came up. My uterus is really confused after the (less than) two years of hormonal birth control... I guess I just have to keep going there and feeling what there is to feel. I still haven't had my period since I went off it, and now it's been three months. I guess it can take up to a year.
