rivervoxJust some facts. I walked the Reservoir this morning. A PERFECT day, weatherwise. Honey is packing for camp. We'll drive out tomorrow AM. I'm sorry to have her go, though I know it's hard being all cramped in here. She won't be back really until October break. Violet has finals and new job training this week. Turn, turn, turn.
We were in Provincetown for the weekend. We drove out Saturday afternoon. We arrived just a short time before DH did. We had pizza in the room, then went downtown for ice cream and to walk around. Busy night with the film fest and a gay black men's event plus the usual madness. We saw John Cameron Mitchell just as we pulled into town. That was exciting! It rained Saturday and was cold. That was a bummer. I rode over to Pop & Dutch to get DH a breakfast sandwich for father's day. When the rain stopped we went in for dumplings. I had an amazing sandwich from Canteen. Cauliflower fritter. The girls shopped, we got coffee and then all meandered a bit and went to the book store. In the afternoon we biked out to Head of the Meadow. It was windy and cold but it was good to be outside. We found a newly made path from Head of the Meadow to Coast Guard road, which goes over to Highland Light. Very exciting to connect those things. We went to Bubala's for dinner and sat under the heat lamps. We really didn't have the right clothes for the weather and ended up back in the room. I fell asleep early. Monday was bright and sunny. I walked to the beach by the Surfside alone, which was lovely. We packed up and went to Liz's Cafe for brunch. It has a very nice outdoor space. My tofu scramble was not what I expected but the English muffin was amazing, with lots of fresh fruit. Beanstock coffee. The only downside was that we had to wait a long time to get a table. Another walk into town and out to the end of the wharf. Then back to the car and home. We went to Beatnic and then home to watch Ms. Marvel. I helped Violet with stuff for work and then watched Grantchester which was very moving and just excellent.
And here we are on Tuesday which feels like a Monday. And Solstice. And packing plus more driving.
I'm not there yet, but I can see where the stress of travel is not worth the trip. Didn't feel much joy over the weekend, but there were moments. And I wasn't here which is a blessing. And the planet relentlessly turns.
