For the first time in 7 years (yes, check that, 7), I decided to do something fancy free to mark the day that a wee person I once was made it onto this pretty marble. Honestly, I work...a lot...we all do, but, being a busybody that works physical labor at work...cooks + cleans upon returning from walking the dingo...paints...oh, yeah and goes to school +maintains hours as an intern....sometimes, it is forgotten that there is a "me" factor, as well. Solely, in life, I take care of things. Many sad rescued orchids that cannot go on being light poisoned by the local hardware store, 3 pets, a large jardin, and , in the day to day, at least 60 dogs (+ cats, hermit crabs,etc.). So on a whim, "I" dipped out. The first minute of the elevation rising and mercury dropping made the coast seem years away. No guilt. Fresh mountain air and a place with a soul of its own...
First, I got lost in Columbia, SC for an hour and a half and found this fancy place called : Goatfeathers
Had a pint whilst gazing at a not-so-perfect map, chatting with a bartender who offered me a job, and getting back on the road in some rain....to this:
The most central, ecofriendly place that makes a perfect stop off.
My nest...sleeping position for me is a random tumbling through sheets that sometimes resembles the "dead man's float", often cocooning into a snug bundle, occasionally turning the comforter wrong side over before waking. This bed is very missed. That being said, the bed that was lonely for a few days is calling...as is Monday. My first day back into the semester ..::sigh::...
To anyone reading. When there's less "huff" in your "puff", why not find a nifty town in your home state to escape to? It will do your spirits some good and maybe even lift off heavy weights. Promise to share some smiles with all the new faces you see, and even on a rainy day...things will seem a bit sunnier.
To be continued.
