F.L.A. - Day 1 2009

I have arrived! I'm finally here! My break from school has begun!

I got up this morning, left the house at 10:00 a.m. and hopped on my flight to Florida at 2:35 p.m. (right on time!) We got here at about 5:00 p.m. And it took us a good hour and a half to get over the 'Cosway' and onto Sanibel, then Captiva Island.
Being as OCD as usual I immediatly unpacked my bag and put my clothes and accessories away in the cupboards of my murphy-bed (to those of you who don't know what a murphy-bed is, it's a bed that comes out of a cupboard).
My brother ran as fast as he could to the putting green, to get in some golf before the sun went down and I caught up with my mom as we hadn't seen each other in a week and she wanted to know how school had been in my last week.
We had lamb-chops, beans and cucumber goat cheese salad for dinner and I dove into one of the four jugs of Arizona Iced Tea that we had in the cottage.
Even though I don't like the sun, the beach, fish, swimming or golfing, I am glad to be here. Glad to sleep, glad to draw and glad to just relax and clear my mind of the social drama.
Now I sit here, it's pitch black (because once the sun goes down, it goes down), I can here the cicadas and the breeze blowing the palm trees and I'm thinking how I am really looking forward to get back into my art again and read my two books (novels - Interview with the Vampire and No Water for Elephants).
I will update again tomorrow on the day's activities and updates on life. So see you then. Sleep well.
