So, I am stuck with them.
The roomies announced tonight that they were staying until July at the earliest.
What shitty timing.
I could do with a little privacy right now; I could do with an empty house.
I guess not.
In response, I have been planning a trip to Sin Jawns. In July, maybe August.
What I would really like is a couple of days at my parents' cabin.
Alone.
In the bush; on the ocean.
It is a big cabin, but has no electricity or running water. Right on the ocean.
It is the most calming place I can think of.
I would like to get dropped off. A bag of groceries in one hand pushing my bike with the other.
Alone, waiting for someone to join me or pick me up.
Boil some mussels in a fire on the beach. Hell, cook all my meals on an open fire.
God, I need to get away.
Anyone want to join me on the Rock?
It'll hurt, but you will be better for it.

That sounds so amazing. I've never seen that ocean.
hurt?
somehow hurt doesn't come to mind at all when thinking about spending time, alone, in a cabin, on the ocean.
Instead I think of serenity...
the feeling of the ocean air as it blows gently over your skin...
the smell of that same breeze filling your nostrils with the scent of salt and seaweed
cooking over an open fire...everything somehow tastes better cooked this way, even if charred beyond recognition
the only thing that would hurt would be leaving
I think I could only manage a couple of days at the cabin alone. A couple more with friends.
My trips home always hurt.
Visiting newfoundland, if done right, is always a haze of drinks, food, dancing, scenery, water, wind, sun, fog and a sense of welcome rarely experienced elsewhere.
I usually hurt my body and heal my heart while there and then proceed to heal my body and hurt my heart by leaving.
I went to Halifax this past weekend. We were there for a family wedding. It really sucked cuz we didn't really get to do much of anything while we were there becasue of said wedding. Only a couple hours of walking around really.
See?
My brother is leaving for Newfoundland tomorrow for a week and then a week in New Brunswick to see my mom. I am jealous.
