I’d be lying if I said our vacation didn’t inspire another idea for a book I want to write. But the trip inspired my painting, and obviously my photography interest, even more. I even bought a set of watercolor paints while visiting Sea Side, Florida. And so I’m torn between starting a new writing project or still working away on the old ones. In the meantime, I’ve been playing with my new paints and at least creating something.
Returning to work yesterday was quite stressful as expected. More people had to tell me how bad their week was with me gone than asking about my trip. But that’s okay. I don’t always like having to retell my adventures over and over again to multiple people. Half way through the day I slowed down and took a breather and refused to get stressed out over the amount of work that had piled up. It will all get done eventually and I’ll get caught up. No reason to put on the hard shell again that the vacation had already helped me to peel off.
Speaking of shells, we picked up lots of them. J gave a few to his coworkers. I put the rest in a glass vase for our bookshelf. I took lots of nice photos of shells too. Of the 1800 photos, I only got 300 of them developed. We put them into photo albums last night and they all turned out quite nice.
I’m getting rid of the “Cornfed” tab this weekend and turning it into a vacation tab to display more of my pics. Stay tuned!
Glad you had a restful time! Got my book in the mail. Thanks! Will get to it after the semester ends. For now, it’s all about Moby Dick.
