salienneSo the past few days, I have been at my uncle's summer house in the country, which was interesting. In short, what I learned in Russia during the past few days:
Day 1: Nature is beautiful and peaceful and cozy and brilliantly complex. Iffy on the outhouses, though. Time to relax.
Day 2: Nature is pretty, still peaceful, still brilliantly complex. I hate outhouses. Must go out and do something.
Day 3: I knew it, I knew it. Freaking spider. In the freaking outhouse. In the pitch-black at 2 AM when I need to pee. Making me go across the property barely able to see past my arm even with the portable lamp, my aunt's warning about kidnappers (seriously) running through my head along with my terror of said spiders and anything else creepy-crawly, only to be stalked by moths in the outhouse and to then make my way back. And huddle in bed. And not sleep. And then have to pee again.
Conclusion: Nature is absolutely wonderful for a day. It is always good on a purely intellectual level. But only if I can spend almost all my time far far away with indoor plumbing and no spiders.
Also, I have many many pictures. They are gorgeous, mainly due to the places here being gorgeous. And I really have to describe the monastery we visited for you guys--so awesome. Definitely must write that post-apocalyptic fic...
ETA: Also, I just checked two medical symptoms I'm having and got two possible causes: anemia or brain cancer.
...Here's hoping it's the former or I'm overreacting?
