Just One Of Them Days
It's raining hard outside. We've been dealing with non-stop reports of brush fires everywhere in Florida, and one quite close to home. Because of the last few months of dry weather they start up like nothing, however, I think we're in another part of the cycle, which is rain. I believe all the smoke and debris that's flown into the air from the fires has actually caused it to rain. This is much needed if not entirely depressing. I woke up wondering why in the world my body wanted me to wake up at such an ungodly hour, then I realized that it was dark because of the grey clouds overhead and that in actuality it was 7:30 in the morning.
Yesterday was a day for disappointments. Rich went in for a dentist dis-appointment and came out not too happy. I didn't get to hear from the second part of my interview, which means I didn't get into the next round and wont be making any dis-appointments in the future, and when we drove over to my bank to deposit some money we were completely shocked to find police tape all around it and my bank was closed. After driving around looking for another one I decided that I would have to just wait til today to deposit it and now face the challenge of driving in pouring rain.
Well, we can always look on the bright side.
But not today.
Me.

Lovebugs
You know it's May in Florida when the lovebugs are in the air. I literally mean love bugs, a weird looking creature that looks as if it has a second head where it's bum is supposed to be, yep, they're mating. They swarm everywhere and really you only see them when they're mating, which occurs every May and September. I opened a window this morning and there were two of them on the screen, they got a surprise when I opened the window and harmoniously flopped onto the sill outside. They're somewhat of a nuisance because they swarm everywhere, dying on car hoods, windshields, grills and headlights as you drive down the road, if you had a convertible you end up looking as if you drove around with a mud mask when you finally arrive at your destination. Other than being annoying because they are everywhere doing it, they don't do anything else like sting you and suck your blood, so I say cheers to you lovebugs, everyone could learn a lesson from you. Time's short so make love, not war.
And so my fellow humans my message to you, on this lovely May day, is to go out and just do it.
Me.

A-camping We Will Go
I blinked and it was May already. This is crazy.
We have the house for a week to ourselves and the week's flying by so quickly. In about a week and a half we're off to go camping. Woo. Not actual camping but just sitting around inside an RV and grilling on our portable charcoal grill, we just bought a few weeks ago. Sweet. I am looking forward to this.
When I was younger I used to want to go camping and sit around a bonfire with marshmallows at the end of a long stick, getting nice and dark and soft and hot. Yummy. However, my family was not the camping type and the closest I had ever gotten was putting chairs together and throwing a blanket over it and pretending it was a tent out in the middle of the woods. This isn't going to be out in a tent in the middle of the woods but I will have tall pines and birches nearby and there are areas where you could set up tents and go a-tenting. There is a bonfire area where you can make s'mores and there are hiking trails and boats, fishing and a few other wilderness type recreation. We will be biking around and around and spending the evening roasting marshmallows and falling asleep to the buzz of mosquitoes and snuggling under the warm blankets.
Will write soon.
