I can smell it, can you?

I've got the bug. The days are longer, the time changes in two weeks, the official beginning of spring is in three.

I've been having the hardest winter of my life. Almost didn't make it. I suffer from seasonal depression, and I've never felt it like I did over the past 4 months. I'm better now, and I'm so excited to be a homeless traveling bum again for the summer!

I'm most likely acquiring a touring bike tomorrow, and if that works out I'm going to go on a two week bike tour in the beginning of May to PEI. Then Brendan and I will be driving to Saskatoon with our friend Chantal. After Saskatoon we'll hitch back toward Montreal for the Anarchist Book Fair which takes place on the weekend of May 29th, and then the world is my oyster! I have basic plans, but they all hinge on other things working out so we'll see.

I just read all of my entries in this blog, and the memories flooded back to me so vividly. I'm really glad I made it and stuck with it. I wanted my friends and family to see what I was doing, but it became something bigger than that. It gave me a reason to really take in my surroundings and note my feelings so I could write them down later. I spent a lot of time on the road composing my thoughts in the form of english that other humans could understand which really helped me to solidify those moments in my mind.

Just a little bit longer.
