Every Monday I find myself starting the weekly count down to Friday. Not because I get kicks from sitting around watching TV, eating Bon Bons, and painting my nails, no way! Friday is the day I get to grab my pack that has sat in the corner begging me for the past five day to hit the road.
When the clock hits five I run to the car and go. Now wait a second! I absolutely love my job. No worries there. I am Girl vs. Wild, what more could I ask for? But, I do plan methodically all week for my weekend adventures. Desperate to explore the outdoors.
I relish in knowing that on Saturdays I get to wake up outdoors, and stir with the waking animals scampering at sunrise. Making my morning cup of joe listening to the leaves rustle as the sun start to peek through the trees, and share it’s wonderful rays on my face.
There is nothing better. I swear my oatmeal tastes a thousand times better when eaten outside in a titanium bowl with my trusty plastic camping spork! Hiking all day through thick bushes and open plains. Searching as far as the eye can see with no other man in sight. Amazing.
Dinner fire side telling tales with friends reminiscing of the day’s adventures had. Slumbering off to bed in my five hundred layers, and pulling the rip stop snug around my face. Drifting off to dreams of travels not had, and adventures to be found. Excited to wake with one more day in the wild before I pack off to start another Monday, A Monday to start the count down all over again.
Yes I have a case of the Mondays!
Girl vs. Wild,
Jacquelyn
