Day 126: I had time to frame something today!

Now that we are heading into October and saying goodbye to summer, I am starting to settle down from last season's whirlwind travels. Alex agrees that staying home this past weekend did wonders for the soul.

Someone once said that when you travel, it takes a few hours for your soul to catch up. I think we've finally reconnected on that front, as weird and poetical as that sounds.

So now that we're up to date, I actually had time to frame this lovely baby to the right. It's a limited edition poster from Neil Gaiman that Alex bought me a couple of months ago. It's been hanging out in a cardboard tube on my desk. And now it's hanging out in a brand spanking new frame above my piano.

This was all thanks to having time to do chores today.

This also meant I had time to actually work on assignments and jobs that had been collecting dust!

And we're going to eat turkey burgers cooked at home tonight!

But in all this quiet solitude, I re-read the blog entry I wrote for the MFA Years concerning Stonecoast in Ireland. I am going to wait a few days to post it, so I had more time to go over it a couple more times. And there I saw all these pictures and read all these things I'd done, and I really did think to myself, "Did I do all that?"

I really did.

I quit my job a little over a hundred days ago, and I did all that.

Imagine what I can do with the rest of the year.
