somethings + nothings: July 23, 2016
We've been overcome with work responsibilities! Andy has been busily wrapping out of one company and readying himself to begin with another, while I dove headfirst out of my post-vacation stupor into a number of projects that have been keeping me awake at nights with to do lists running through my head, and most recently, took me to Rock Hill, South Carolina, for a week of tech scouts and production meetings. Travel and a week of separation seems charming, like one of those "absence makes the heart grow fonder" scenarios where we return again after the week with our affection for each other renewed (this is certainly a thing that happens) but the absence of our daily routines and casual affections kick my innate anxiety into overdrive. Essentially, I lose all ability to keep work strain in perspective and regress five years back in my stress management skills. I'm happy to back home.
Rather than pontificating on the minor cultural shock I experienced during five days in South Carolina, I'll just leave you with some links and the above photos of some summer blooms along a lake in York, SC. It's Saturday, after all, and we can leave the heavy lifting for another day.
