Blow, wind, blow…
My final day here has been punctuated by the most aggressive winds and downpours that I’ve seen so far. It’s a real reminder that we are on the sea, dammit. It gives me a bit of insight into what the off season must be like here. Every time I think about heading down to Westerland for a couple of final purchases, the sky will dump buckets of water outside the window. Some folks may not end up getting the presents I thought to pick up for them.
Could be it’s just nature telling me to stay in and get my stuff organized and try to knock out another couple of drawings before I pack it all away. If I could just resign myself to that course of action I’d be much happier. Instead I keep hopping up when it clears and thinking hmmm perhaps now I can get down there.
I do much better with limited options.
There are also still a couple of pictures I want to take around here, and at least I got my laundry done. I think this is the first time I’ll be coming back from a trip with more clean clothes than I arrived with. Which is good since I’m thinking about the massive amount of cleaning that has to happen at my place upon my arrival.
I am looking forward to getting back, I must say. There’s a lot of dirty New York I’m hungry for. And I’m hoping that I have the courage to retain some of the lessons learned while I was here.
