Tonight is my last night up here for a while, although I'll be staying for one night before going up to RPI on the 25th just to break up the driving a little bit, it won't really be the same. I'll be on my way to something else and not really thinking about being here the same way, although there will probably be moments of pondering throughout the night that I doubt I'll be sleeping. It feels a little funny not to know when I'll really have more time here, although I get tired of being her basically alone from the company of my friends, recently I've had people come visit me and have enjoyed seeing them in the context of this beautiful place, which has removed a lot of the loneliness I normally attach to Gilboa. Tomorrow I head back to the city, and I'll be desperately trying to see everyone who I want to see and need to have one last contact with before I disappear, and at the same time I'll be trying to get enough shopping for last minute things in that I won't be desperate on the last day I'll have in the city (somehow I feel like I'll be a little bit busy packing then...) I've got a bunch of pictures that I'd like to put up, this weekend was a lot of fun, hanging with Jess and getting to show her around this part of my world a little bit, but it felt like she was barely here before it was time to go, so that was a little sad, I guess part of it is because I slept till 9 both days >.< so late for me recently. We found a turtle in the middle of the road, it turned out to be a painted turtle, and we saved it from whatever car may have hit it in the future, put it instead down by our little runoff creek by the driveway. I took a buncha pictures, and tomorrow, when I get back to the high-speed internet world, I'll put the ones I like the most up, as well as patio pictures, and maybe even a few of people and the weird things that they do and look like! Heh, maybe I'm evil. I do very much miss a fast internet, that and my friends are the things that draw me back to the city from the back country. If I had a lot of friends up here, and a fast internet, I would never need to come back! That's not true, but I enjoy the pretense behind it. I've been doing a lot of thinking, probably too much but that's what happens when you've suddenly stopped working and have a lot of free time on your hands, but I'm in the middle of a good book in the middle of a good series (the fourth book of the Belgariad by David Eddings, one of my favorite authors [nod to Josh from way back when]) so I'll have to do a full report of mental ponderings at some later date, I have a feeling that my time tomorrow and Tuesday will be jam packed with visiting and shopping and packing and organizing. My thoughts might not be with you specifically, but maybe they are, they tend to flit around a lot.
