Happy Place
August 11th 12:17 a.m.

Barely Sat, but it's ok. It was a good Friday. I found more than my happy place. I lived in my happy place. Yup, you better believe it, I went to camp Thursday night when I got home from work. It was so hot! I couldn't stand it. I had to get away. And as I was driving by one of those bank time and temp things at quarter till nine, it was 94 degrees. Is that not insane?

Anyway, I went all alone to my happy place. I spent the night there, felt the wonderful smoothness of the water all around me in the dark. Spent some quality time with the live-in chipmunk. We were a little afraid of each other, but it all worked out in the end. I wrote some letters, read a little (and I mean a little) and played mindless games. Mainly I was just there. It was good. I was alone.

I got home today and went to Niki's and watched the wedding planner, which I enjoyed. Now I'm tired and getting ready for bed. I just didn't want to go without updating, and letting everyone in on my goodness. I'm good. I can't really think of anything to bring me down tonight. The same things are there, as always, but they're just things. And as long as I live, and continue to be, I'll be okay...better than okay! It's been a long time since I took time for me. I need to be someone that I'm comfortable with first. And that makes all the difference in the world. My soul needs to be a good place to be.

So, I miss people. I am sooo in the mood for good, loving experiences. It's a good kind of missing. It's the desire to get out and enjoy people. But I have to work in the morning. It's an okay thing. I can handle this. Work is just work...nothing more. And then I'll come home and find something that makes me happy.

More on my camp experience later, if I feel like it. I wrote a lot while I was there. I might copy and paste some of it, if I'm not bursting with something else to say tomorrow.
