| YES this was rented for Dottie & Puddin'... & YES they will have their own bedroom! Destination: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina |
So after seeing Dave last Sunday, our Christmas plans changed yet again.
For instance; in the eleventh hour we've
gone from a two bedroom condo (on the third floor with a balcony), to a four bedroom home located
directly on the beach.
The guys at work were all like "WOW" but it’s the
off season. Why travel that far and not truly enjoy the surroundings? Everyone making the trek should be happy right? Then we agree, both the two legged and the four legged travellers deserve to enjoy!
Though I'm not looking forward to the drive with the dogs; I'm ecstatic that I will get to eat my lunch outside, on the deck, with my sunglasses on in December. I'm bummed that my hamstring is
still bugging me, so I don’t suspect I’ll run. What I do know is that I will walk
for miles and miles. I’ll walk with the dogs and I'll sing. I will sing every single showtune I know, as well as the 400+ song I have downloaded. I'll decompress, and I know I will relax.
Not going to lie, I am seriously vibrating at the thought of my increasing my natural light intake.
Until the Muskoka days start getting longer, I generally feel lethargic and at a little bit lost. As a result, I am constantly ambulatory
at work. I wander from window to window, like a drug addict looking for a hit (or in my case a glimpse of natural sunlight). It's so bad for me this time of year, that when I wake in the morning, the first thing I do is turn all the lights in the house on.
Not sure if I'm alone when I admit that I need/crave the
natural light. I suffer so badly that if it's a bright day, I walk at high noon in hopes of helping my
disposition. I walk to work in the dark and I arrive home in
the dark. I find the days really long and my patience really short. I willingly admit it’s time, and that I really need a fix.
As bitchy as ever, I guess the bad news is that I’ve
just about had it. The good news is I said just about. The great news is I’m
gonna make it. By the time I return in January, the slopes will be open, and the white snow will be brighter than the beach sand I left behind.
Makes me smile and say "take that long Muskoka December days"... TAKE THAT!
Show tunes on the beach! I don't think anything could possibly be finer!
ReplyDeleteAnd chin up, Rhondi, the longest day of the year is fast approaching and from then on it's all as downhill as the slopes you'll be surfing.
Have a great trip!
