The weather is cooling on the Bay and I'm ready for change. In about a month I will be without a job and moving back south. The terrapins I work with are barely hatching anymore so I walk around the island mostly daydreaming. I guess I shouldn't complain about getting paid to explore a deserted island on the Chesapeake.
My girlfriend is flying in to Baltimore tomorrow to visit for the weekend. We both forgot our six month anniversary but it was only on Monday, so we aren't too late to celebrate. She is amazing to be with but I miss her every day. Come January she is supposed to head out for the Peace Corps and I don't know what I am going to do with myself. I know that I shouldn't keep dreading the future and be content with the present, but it is hard to separate myself from the eventual truth.
On Saturday I am taking her to a wildlife refuge for a picnic. I bought wine, dessert, cheese, and I plan to bake some fresh bread before we head out. It will be a short weekend for us but I won't see her again for almost six weeks. In November we are going on a roadtrip together. Asheville, my family's farm in SC, southern Georgia, and back up to Raleigh are the main highlights. Hopefully Georgia will get some rainfall between now and then so we can complete our Okefenokee Swamp backcountry canoe trip.
Why do I keep finding myself in these long distance relationships? You know, I lived with this girl for two years and when we started dating we moved apart. It doesn't make any sense, that's life for you.
