Say Cheeze

Mozerrella to be exact... Cheeze at the beach...

We've been having a normal-type of spring week in New England. The weather's been great! Of course here on the Cape it's still cool n windy, but we've had a bit of sunny, warm afternoons n the plant-life is growing rapidly. the Forscynthias, Tulips, n Rhododendrons are dominating the blossom scenery.
...
Tree pollen is abundant n it's been making me a bit groggy-headed. My challenge today was to get to the store to get the allergy pills without them. I had tons on the docket of out-door chores to do, but fate was against me as I hit one delay after the next in the errand list.
...
I had to wait in several suddenly-formed long lines, for a CS out-of-paper lost sales receipt, n then the one-hour-photo guy made me come back later twice when I was trying to finish outings for the day. (I think if pics aren't done in time I deserve a discount...) My entire day was a comedy of errors testing my patience n wasting the few hours of daylight I had to operate in.
...
Now I'll have to try to squeeze more into my days before work this week. I still have seeds to get planted, the lawn to mow again, more sticks n leaves to remove, n Memorial Day is two short weeks away. After that, the things I'd like to get done will be less likely to get done to my satisfaction. The landlord will do some of them very lamely n wrong... (like dumping crap in heaps in the woods) City people just don't get how we do things here...
...
Memorial Day Week-end on the Cape means invasion of the out-of-towners, n all errands becoming ardous. Even just trying to drive down the street to pick-up my mail will become difficult. All the empty homes n spaces around me get filled in, n I suddenly feel like I need to hide. I'll have to talk to all kinds of people asking questions about me everytime I leave my apartment, so everything I try to do will take alot longer. Feeling eyes upon me in all my outings will change my preferences n behaviors.
...
I like beach weather, but I abhor the crowds of rude people "on vacation" while I'm not. I'm trying hard to enjoy the next week n two, because I'll have no personal, outdoor peace until after Labor-Day again.
...
All my day-off daylight has been sapped away, n only one more remains before the impending tourist flocks arrive. Even today there were more folks around during my travels. People were walking, shopping, surfing, fishing, sitting in cars at the pier n beach, just everywhere, but mostly townees, n not tons of strangers as expected Cape-side very soon.
...
Now back to my program of long, dark nights wide awake with no way to get the yard done... (The curse of the night-shift workers...)
...
Have a fun week- I'll enjoy every single moment of silence.
