It had been such a long time since I had time off work.
And the signs of fatigue were starting to show.
I thought I would take a chop this past summer, but the project I was toiling on wasn’t complete. So, I told myself I would take a chop towards the end of September. When a colleague left the dealer, I was asked to take over the work he was doing. It’s not until late November that I finally had time off from work. And there was no way I was spending our 3 month chop in the city. Some friends wanted myself and others to join them on a shopping trip, despite the fact that I turned them down. I wanted to go someplace remote where I could be on our own, in addition to catch up on some sleep, but my aunt owns this lodge that’s about 2 hours from our city, so I booked it for the entire time. This lodge is a rental, but it was free for that duration, so I paid to stay there. When I arrived, it was still nice in addition to hot outside, as all of us weren’t yet in full fall. The first few mornings were nice, in addition to not too warm. However, on the 5th night at the lodge, I turned on the oil furnace when I felt chilly. All around myself and others the leaves had turned color in addition to were starting to fall to the ground. The temperature change had been gradual, but soon I needed to turn on the oil furnace earlier to hot the lodge. There’s this afternoon I left it on all afternoon because the un-even temperatures were so low. Still, I had the best time relaxing, in addition to exploring the woods around the lodge.
