(132/366) Spring is really here?

May 11, 2012 – I don’t want to scare it away, but the weekend is supposed to be nice…shhhh….it frightens easily….

Wow, nice weather AND on a weekend AND it’s sailpast this weekend for our yacht club. What a fabulous set of circumstances. I was invited out on a couple of boats for the weekend, scratch that, I was heavily pressured by a number of people to come out on one of the boats since Kirk is back home dealing with his Father’s death. One friend even went so far as to include a portion of steak and prawns in her grocery list, and suggested that she’d brought extra bedding along for me. No pressure there 🙂

For some strange reason everyone here feels that I need to be with the social group for the weekend. I think they all thought I would be sitting home alone.

It took a lot of work to finally convince friends that I really just want to take the opportunity to pull my helmet on and do a few hundred kilometres on the bike tomorrow. The last three times I was on a motorcycle weren’t really fabulous – two rides in pouring rain (one of those late at night to add to the fun), and another getting Kirk’s bike back home from the Valley. I want a NICE ride for a change. And tomorrow’s weather is promising that.

So while I love that so many people seem determined to not see me be alone, and I do so dearly appreciate the love, I am looking forward to the solitude and meditative focus I find on the bike. I am quite happy by myself. I have a pretty good relationship with me 😉

So, Wall-E and I plan to enjoy the sun tomorrow, just on land rather than on the water this time around. There is lots of boating season ahead.
