Baby and I have been spending a lot of time at the beach. While I’m not a huge fan of sand, I’ve found peace in listening to the waves roll in and smack against the shore. I never spent a lot of time at the beach growing up. My mother never really cared to go and by the time my father got out of work, there wasn’t really any sunlight left to enjoy it. Because of this…it’s been a while since I’ve really sat down on the beach and took it all in. I know that I could always just go to the beach by my house and pop-a-squat on the sand but the problem with living on the North Shore of Long Island, you’re dealing with an over polluted Long Island Sound. From where I’m living now…I have the entire Atlantic Ocean and it only takes me not even five minutes to get to. I can’t believe that there are people who take that for granted.
While things between Baby and I are going really well…for the last few weeks we’ve been in kind of a rough spot. Between Joe’s anniversary, the withdrawal of being out of New York for the last two and a half months, then everything else that he’s going through and little things here and there…it’s just been difficult for us to really sit down and talk to each other. With how secluded we were this morning, we were able to really just sit back and talk through everything that was getting to us. We just enjoyed each others company more than we have in a while. I think it’s honestly going to do a bit of good for our relationship.
We got to the beach around 3:30AM and didn’t leave until about 8:00AM. Part of me felt guilty for leaving Bella home by herself for those four and a half hours but it was something that we needed to do. There was no moon in the sky last night, it didn’t show up until around 5:00-5:30 and it didn’t even rise in the sky ( we don’t think ) it kind of just showed up in mid-air, it could have been behind clouds…who knows. But since it wasn’t bright enough to really be interesting, we waited on the sun and continued to sit on the benches and talk to each other between our walks on the beach. We headed into 7-11 to pick up some coffee so we could keep ourselves awake. On the way home from the beach we stopped and had breakfast. We planned on spending the entire day together without sleep so we could just crash tonight but unfortunately it didn’t work out that way. I wound up falling asleep and he followed. After we woke up we went back to the beach for a little while and picked up some pizza on the way home. All in all it was a nice day for us. Forget nice…it was gorgeous. It was like 72?Ǭ?F(22?Ǭ?C), bright and sunny day. While I love the cold…I don’t think today could have possibly gone any better.
It’s going to be an interesting weekend. Baby and I are heading to Lewes, DE with his mother to take the Cape May Ferry up to New Jersey for the day. She’s doing some car shopping and managed to find the one she wants in like Brick, NJ or something like that. I hope the water is warm enough where we get to see Dolphins or something floating around in the water. Baby was telling me about them, I hope I don’t have to wait until this summer to see all of that. I’m going to need to make a quick stop at CVS or something this week, I’m not sure how I’m going to do on the boat so I’ll have to pick up some stuff for a potential “just in case” scenario. It never hurt to be prepared…you know?
Right now, Lost is on TV so I guess I’ll go join Baby and watch some TV. Maybe I’ll get to go to the beach again tomorrow, there’s supposed to be a pretty strong storm coming this way for Thursday, maybe there’s going to be some big waves to watch. Yay for umbrellas…heh.
