Take Me Home
In four weeks, I will be lying next to her, both of us probably fast asleep.
So soon... and yet, not soon enough. It's hard being without the one you love. I'm tired of waiting and from what I've seen she is too. I just want to hold her, have her close to me.
Some sixteen weeks ago, I wrote of what I had done towards this trip. And since then, all that I have done is save my money, purchase an ANZ Travel Card (basically a prepaid Visa card, but loaded with NZD) and arranged for a rental car to drive to the airport. At this point, everything is done: I have passport, ticket, motel booking, insurance, clothes, locks, pendant and money. Whilst there are things I need to do (wash clothes, pack, pick up car and get some physical cash) there is nothing to do except wait now.
I've been occupying myself with a lot of walks lately; gets me out of the house and is kind of useful for not thinking and also thinking. I know, sounds contradictory, but if you've experienced this, you'll know what I mean. Also, I have been working on a Final Fantasy X game, where I only use Wakka. This has been both strangely easy and difficult. It's not fun watching Wakka die because I haven't levelled him enough, although in all fairness, that's not been a problem since the levelling to prepare for the Seymour/Anima fight.
The horticulture course is back on now after a four week break, which is kind of nice--getting out of the house and talking to 'friends' is decent, but I still hate the four am starts every second Thursday. At least yesterday wasn't a four am start; I might not ever have got there if the first day back started at four am.
