winter wonderland

Jan 14, 2009 17:58

I just finished collecting my laundry from the clothesline. It smells wonderful. I'm wearing a still-wet bathing suit and waiting for my turn in the shower to get the fine layer of sea salt off me. I'm also trying really hard to remember a bunch of things that I want to tell my dad, ideas that I've had since our last conversation about Life, the Universe and Everything from a half hour ago (e.g. how do we react emotionally to external stimuli before the visual information is processed?).
Life has been strange lately. I finished my first term in an Education graduate program. I did really well in two classes and got an incomplete in a third. I decided to move to Salem to live with/adjacent to my sister and her family. At about 11 pm last Thursday I bought a plane ticket to come to Puerto Rico at 7 am the next day. My BFF was also here so we spent a few days together. She left for Spain yesterday (where she lives) and I'm now spending quality time with my dad and going to the beach.
I'll go back to the cold and the packing in a few days. I feel like I'm approaching a major bend in the road and I've no idea what life will be like by the end of the month. But right now I'm here and I think I'm happy and it's time to shower.
