It's been awhile since I've posted anything of substance. The last few days have been nothing but muggy weather and TONS of rain. Monday is my last day on Ocracoke. I return home to my beautiful city on Tuesday and I cannot wait! I am sick of water. Very sick of sand. And I absolutely despise mosquitos. Thanks to those little bastards I look like I have MRSA or something from the knees down. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed, in my own house, with my fabulous wife, and my wonderful dogs. And I get to see my family!Wow... I feel like I have been here forever. It has been good, but mostly I just want to be home. This has been a trip mostly of necessity for me... and yes I still need the money, as I am returning without a job, but more than ever, my most pressing need is to be at home, and I will make my way from there. Somehow. I was contacted by a headhunter yesterday- he has a job for me in Minnesota, or Texas... good thing I'm not paying him. Hopefully something will give soon at home.
My sea-oats have been sown. I long for the Piedmont, for tall trees, for fall leaves, for splitting wood for the winter. For a raging fire in the fireplace... coco and soon, Christmas carols with friends.
