For the past 2 Sundays, I've escaped the very small world of my apartment and just gone driving. Last week, I took the road outside of my apartment until it dead-ended. I wound up in a different county, about 20 miles from home. It was freeing. I listened to favorite cheesy CD and called my boy and my friend B. Mostly, though, I just drove, rolled down the windows to blow-dry my hair, and got lost in my thoughts.
Today I was headed to Target (I adore Target), but changed my mind just before I got into the turn lane. I was remembering how free I felt last Sunday, and was also thinking of a conversation I had with my boy about the best parts of Huntsville. So I headed to Monte Sano to just look around for a bit. It'd been years since I'd been there. It's as gorgeous as ever, and it'll only get prettier as the leaves on the trees change color. I took some pictures with my phone and sent them to my boy.
It's nice to get away, to get lost in my head for a while, to dream, and to not be needed for a while. I think I'm going to keep this up. There's got to be other pretty places around this area where I can get lost for a while.
