Second Aid

Brain a little heavier from the productive day that I've had learning about first aid in NZ. Course complete.

Freshly seared steak, straight from the grill... a slab that is *almost* too big to eat alone. Slightly pink in the middle...rimmed by fat of a perfect thickness. Just the way I like it.

Macaroni and cheese... steaming hot and meltily creamy.  No vegetables.

Hair trimmed, body radiating from the heat of the jacuzzi and cool of the pool. Sparkling clean from a shower.

Splashing from the pool heard in the background. Jazz music soothing the warm summer air.

Surrounded by people from all over the world. People I can talk to if I want. People I can ignore if I want.

Bugs chirping romantically, the sun and the pink clouds now gone, stars suspended in the sky... cars strolling by.

Warm bed with clean sheets waiting for me. Top bunk.

Ice cold beer 2 inches from my hand. Still half full.

Shopping in the morning.

The scenic drive back to Paihia in the afternoon.


IT'S LOVE.
