Itch

It's been six months since my hands were in the dirt, and it's juuuuust beginning to get to me. The indoor flowers are nice--I genuinely enjoy them--but all they're really good for is admiration. I want to take a shower and still find dirt under my fingernails. I want to reek of sweat and bug spray. I want to yell at Camille for tracking her muddy shoes inside the house. It's all a long way off, I know, but I'm ready.
