Light At End Of The Tunnel.

My bladder was incredibly full the morning I snapped this photo. Unfortunately, my budget cabin wasn’t equipped with a bathroom (unless you count the disposable bags I used in the middle of the night — thank you, Amazon! And sorry — not sorry!), so I had to take a little stroll down the road to the campsite restrooms to relieve myself.

As I was looking around, taking it all in (e.g., nature, the fresh morning air in the woods, the September sun on my skin, and my freedom from an unhealthy marriage), I looked back, and this is what I saw.

Not too shabby, eh?
