I miss my Cape! It was a bittersweet trip in August, just before Figgy left for college and Punch moved back into our home.
New Jersey schools get a four-day weekend in early November for a teachers' convention. I'm going to the Cape with my Punch. I'm really sad that the Sheraton Four Points on Route 6 in Eastham--which has a book one night/get the second at 40 percent off--doesn't take even small dogs, so I have to leave Sug home with H. [who has to work two events]. Figgy is heading to Maine for a few days.
But I have my eye on the horizon. I'm sad, tired, angry, baffled, fearful. Lost. The sands keep shifting under my feet. I need to unplug and then plug back in. I need to see my ocean, my pond, my Hot Chocolate Sparrow, my Wellfleet, the little unassuming library......the Salt Pond Visitors' Center. My friends may go, too--not sure.
I need my Cape. Yet I have to remember that this is not little Figgy, but a different girl with different [boundless] energy.
And I'm hoping that the vacation trick comes through--when I'm going away, I tend to work efficiently to make my deadlines first.
Good night.

- Boot camp in the dome. We boxed today, and Patsy, Sue and Eric made me laugh so much.
- Caesar salad with grilled chicken.
I love to think of you on your Cape. Places have power to restore us.
