no time, no photos

well, getting to albuquerque was long but beautiful. we've had a few sightings of birds, flowers, lizards, mammals, and what have you. getting wireless internet was complicated, and trying to do laundry was unsuccessful. so now it's nearly midnight, i still want to watch "lost" on abc.com, because it's the only thing i love so dearly that i desperately need to follow it, and i have no time to upload and write all about the photos from the beautiful places we've been this week.

i'm disappointed, but i'll probably find time tomorrow to do it while we do laundry at a laundromat or at a motel with facilities nearby.

it has been a terribly long week, with the wind blowing our tents at night as though it wishes to pick them up and fly them away. it's quite terrifying to wake up to in the dark and the cold. we've been hiking and walking and climbing and sitting in the sun in unfriendly deserts and blustery fields and trip-hazard forests, non-stop. i am so tired.

i want a few hours of amanda-time. i have gone for two weeks without any privacy, and i was trying to figure out why i had a stick up my ass....only the slightest little twig, but still giving me the urge to complain when there is no need, or feel cynical or unenthusiastic. i am simply so tired, and i really need time to myself.

hopefully soon.

but until tomorrow, this blog remains with no photos. i'm sorry.
