What’s this vacation thing you speak of?
It’s an ever-receding mirage.
Well, um...
I suggested to T-c somewhere back in the Fall, that once I got moved, she should come and visit, since the flight is only about an hour from where she lives.
It was a good idea, we thought, and then periodically, over the months, we’ve discussed things that are stress-causing and how nice it will be to visit westward to me instead of southward to her mum’s.
So now, with more stresses for both of us, the idea occurred to me that since AR is rather “hilly” than “mountainy” we should find a cabin to rent in the middle of a week where the tourists would be at a minimum. That way, we could enjoy the solitude and do not-too-strenuous things like hikes and drawing and reading out loud to each other.
So we have a tentative date for sometime after I get moved. I haven’t been on a real vacation in I don’t know how long. I usually visit relatives and truth be known, they aren’t much for the soothing and relaxing aspect.
And we haven’t seen each other in probably 10 years or more. So it’s time. :o]
