josh is finishin up his long weekend @ the coast. he headed east early enough on friday mornin that it can't be described as "bright and early" b/c the "bright" would indicate the sun to be shining....but even the sun was still asleep when they hit the road. once their destination was reached, one of the first conversations he had was w/a local man talkin about the alligators on the road.
what?! first of all, i didn't know texas housed alligators. secondly, regardless of residence, alligators definitely do not belong on the road. wowza...
the first mornin, josh and his buddy met up w/a game warden (again, while the sun itself was still snoozin), and they headed out to check duck hunters. apparently, most of the landscape in that part of the state is swampy...so their mode of transportation was an air boat. they had a great time...which is good...b/c to me, the only redemptive thing about gettin up that early and bein really cold would be if it was a LOT of fun!
today, they met up w/a different warden and checked oysters all day...i don't know if oysters are fished or hunted or gathered or trapped...but whatever man does to obtain them must be done w/in the parameters of wildlife law...so josh, his buddy, and the game warden enforced these laws today.
they have some business-y stuff to take care of in the mornin, then they head back to the academy....hopefully in time to do some laundry!
as for the insomnia...that would be mine. normally, i start gettin sleepy around 9:30 or 10:00 (i'm quite the old fogie [not sure how to spell 'fogie']). last thursday, i was wide awake until i willed myself into bed around midnight. i attributed it to the overabundance of coke i'd been indulding in ALL day. however, as the weekend is drawin to an end...i'm thinkin maybe it wasn't the coke....i didn't have a coke friday nite, and i was up late...no coke today, it's after 10...and i'm up writin this blog.
frankly, i'm not sleepin that well w/o josh here....and i'm gettin to where i don't like goin to bed....the bed's big and cold, the house dark and empty... it's not that i feel unsafe, really...i just can't get used to sleepin alone. there's somethin not right about it...
on a lighter note...my livin room is an absolute disaster...covered in christmas presents, wrappin paper, boxes, and ribbon (which i've never figured out how to tie and make pretty).
think i'll finish watchin the cowboys' game before hittin the sack
