Getting Out

This weekend has been... Well I'm not really sure how to explain in any simple terms. I mean I could just say that I'm currently at my roommate's parent's house in Western Maryland, but that does not really cover the weekend. First of all you must understand that this house is currently housing her parents, their three dogs (two of which are Bernese Mountain Dogs), and cat plus, Her older brother and wife (who is pregnant), four kids, their dog and cat and a whole lot of crazy. To add to all of this, I'm having one of the worst allergy attacks ever... complete with losing my voice. (My voice, when I can speak, is several octaves lower then normal.)

Yet despite the crazy insanity of it all, this weekend has been one of the most peaceful wonderful weekends I have had in a very long time. Strange. It helps that we are probably in one of the most beautiful places, with trees and a great lake. And the weather has been wonderful. Warm for a Easter weekend. And I have been rather unproductive in almost everything.

So tomorrow I return to the city with bright lights at night, so you can't see the stars and trafic and Septa and no clean bright water. I always forget that in reality I am a country girl deep down in my soul. I might like the city, but for long term I really want space and a sky that I can see the stars.
