It is May. The month in which I leave. Okay, if it wasn't real before, it is now!
My room is empty. My bags are packed. The addition no longer looks like home.
I helped the Conrods with their preparations today, and I see even more, all the hard work they do that has made my life pretty easy! They are awesome!
One more night in my room, and from the looks of it, I'll be falling asleep to the soothing rain, one more time. :-)
I'm just glad it let up some, so the internet would work. :-)
Things I will miss from "the bush":
Hearing the rain
Walking in the orchard
The sound of the birds, bugs, and other creatures, especially right at dawn and dusk
Hearing people living around me, even when I am alone
Having limited time for internet (so I have time to read, write, and think without having to force it)
Jungle hikes (other than the one through the swamp)
The food :-)
The simplicity of life, but good harnessing of technology for some conveniences
Obviously I will miss the people, too, but this is what I think of as I listen to the thunder rumble in the distance as the rain dies down.
Beach in 2 days, home in 8 days. :-)
