And thank God!
We had a bit of a rainy spell around these parts which was really sort of demoralizing. I mean for gosh sakes I’ve been bragging about California’s perfect weather and then it has to go and do a thing like that. And while my friend is visiting from NYC none the less.
I guess I can’t grumble too much, since we’re in a drought, and since grumbling will confirm that I’ve become a rain sissy since leaving the cold, damp north. I wouldn’t want to own up to that.
I will own up to taking an extended break from writing. Too wet and too busy. Suddenly I got extra busy again. I guess it’s the start of apprenticeships at work, extra coordinating to be done, but still I don’t like it.
Luckily spring break is just around the corner! Spring Break! I thought it would never come!
Unfortunately, due to my indecisive nature and tendency to procrastinate, I have yet to finalize any spring break plans. There are a few destinations that have been in the running and remain highly desirable:
Washington, DC to visit good friends
St. John, visiting a college friend, plus general sunning and island pursuits
Mexico City, friends from last trip, cultural investigation and language practice, plus Semana Santa
Kentucky, visiting my cousin
Last weekend, after a particularly pleasant day showing off SF to friends (it’s been a busy couple weeks of visitors!) I decided that maybe the best spring break would be to stay here and see all the friends I’ve neglected since starting my new high stress job. And to enjoy the good things about the Bay Area that I never have time to enjoy.
But then today I got an email from my friend in Mexico City and it got me thinking about that again. Plus he mentioned that he has a break from school for Semana Santa, which seems like a good excuse to go, don’t you think?
Of course economics are starting to play into the picture at this point since the trip dates are rapidly approaching. But what fun would it be to plan a vacation far in advance? Better to wait until time necessitates an impulse decision.
Still I feel like I should file my taxes before I decide so I can see how much cash Uncle Sam will be shaking me down for this year.
No pictures now because I decided to shoot some on film and haven’t gotten it developed. Will try to do that soon.
