the idea to go to the cape came to me on Saturday night, after all the guests left and
sol3 joined me in bed. i was feeling so stressed out by everything, and running away seemed like the only way i'd be able to relax.
when i woke up on Sunday, i decided i'd been overreacting, and that going to the cape would be throwing money at a problem.
sol3 convinced me it would still be a good idea and a few priceline searches later, we had a room here for last night.
we left boston a bit later then i'd hoped, and between getting there, checking in and decompressing in the hotel room for a bit, it was around 4pm when we finally got on our bikes(!) and hit the trail. we ended up taking the really long way to a restaurant (6 miles there, 1.5 miles back), had a fairly good dinner while watching boats sail in and out, and then a bike and walk back to the hotel.
we lingered at the hotel a bit longer, and then drove out to have (yummy!) ice cream and a frappe and then to spend time on some beaches - i was sad to lose the bikes, but not having any lights on mine was a problem. it was so nice to just spend time on a beach, enjoying each other's company, the waves and the foghorns.
it was nice to relax and to get more comfortable on my bike. it was really great to see
sol3 relax and enjoy his birthday.
we overslept a bit this morning, but
sol3 knows superninja ways to/from the cape and i was still in the office on time. and while i'm having issues concentrating, i'm also noticeably more relaxed then i've been in weeks.
tonight, i call about at least 2 places to possibly live on the west coast. going out there for the first weekend of next month is definitely great, but it still sucks to say "no, I can't come see it on Thursday". here's hoping i don't come away from the trip empty handed.
tomorrow night, my little purrbox goes to the vet, though i'm sure she won't be purring through the experience. i'm still worried about needing her to do stuff she doesn't want to do, but am looking forward to getting her checked out and talking to the vet about what she should be eating and how i should handle her move.
on the good news front, i got another extension on my psych incomplete, so that weight is a little lighter, but i still have a ton of work to do for it.
