It looks spooky outside. The sky is dark, and the moon is shining past a wispy cloud and onto the bare branches. It's like something out of a storybook.
I'm supposed to be asleep, but I don't sleep at night. I get an energy rush around 9 PM every night and can't go to sleep until around 8 AM. I can fall into routine, but it never lasts. Anyway, I doubt I could sleep. I've tried already, but I'm kind of excited. We're finally going to Hayward today. I've been hoping to get back there for at least a year now...I'm hoping to make a day of it. It's a relaxing place...I really need to relax.
Too bad I have to come back. That's always the worst part. I just want to stay there. The sun, the waves. All my worries come back in a fetid rush the minute I hear the words, "Ready? Get your stuff."
No outing is long enough. We went to a beach one time. We walked to one end, turned around and walked back. Got in the car and drove home. We didn't get our feet wet, we didn't even touch the sand. Not even with our fingers. We were literally there for a few minutes. A nice place, but to this day I don't know what the point was of going there.
Well, I suppose three more hours of a sleepless rest is better than none.

Aww, spooky nights can be fun - yours sounds perfect, but needs just a bit of wind and rain :D
ReplyDeleteI never sleep the night before I go somewhere! I'm too excited! I have nothing going on today though, wish I was there :p
I know what you mean; it seemed that we never stayed anywhere more than an hour, especially at pools and beaches. Mom always ruined the fun by sitting there like a rock reading a book and giving us the silent treatment before and after, like 'How dare you be excited?' It made so many childhood things so awkward that I never wanted to do them (with her) again, but I was all enthusiastic anytime Dad was into going somewhere :)
Yeah, I remember. I always wondered, "Why isn't she even trying to have fun?"
DeleteHayward didn't happen; I was up on time, willing to go, but it was too cold, so Mom said we'd stay. I go down for a nap, the weather clears, and when I wake up she's saying, "We could've gone someplace!"
>_<
:(
DeleteAww, that sucks! I hope she didn't say 'We could've gone somewhere if only you hadn't fallen asleep!' :(
Yeah, that's about it.
