Vacation Blues
As my 12 days of freedom winds to a close (I work in a little over 2 hours), I lay here missing Massachusetts all over again. I’m fortunate in that I only have tonight’s 12 hour shift and tomorrow’s 4 hour shift until my next weekend, but that doesn’t make me miss Mass any less. Continue reading

Polaroid of the Day
Hamilton Reservoir, Holland, Massachusetts. Shot on Polaroid 600 with a Polaroid Impulse Auto Focus. Edited some for more contrast, I was still refamiliarizing myself with the camera as it had been over a year since shooting with it. Continue reading

Confrontation: No thank you!
Well, the conversation went well with the dog sitter. For background, the 17 year old that was watching our dogs while we were out of town last week had multiple kids over, one of which stayed the night. Her boyfriend. We have this one dog, he doesn’t like new people. He gets angry and aggressive. Continue reading

Time to Hit the Ground, Running or Otherwise.
Okay. So two days later, I’m finally feeling fully rested after returning home from Massachusetts. The airports/plane really drains the energy out of you. It didn’t help that there was a damn mouse running around us at Logan. I was so afraid my kid would see it and start chasing it. Gross. Anyways, I have Continue reading

Back to Reality: Post Vacation Stress
This life is crazy and the ups and downs are difficult to take. Yesterday, we got back in town early. Everything was good until we started to decompress. My husband and I ended up in an argument. It was no surprise given we were coming down from vacation cloud 9. Ultimately we worked through our Continue reading

All Good Things….
Today was a random, chill day in Massachusetts. We decided to wander and take photos in the morning. I got a decent few with my Polaroid. A fire fighter waved at my kid as they left the firehouse in an engine, which was awesome. And I happened across a well stocked Little Free Library. I Continue reading

More Massachusetts
Still in Massachusetts. Almost everyday we have been here, I have found myself at a random body of water. Yesterday I was roped into going to one of those old timey villages where they role play that they are truely living in that time. Too bad it was closed. So we drove around and kept Continue reading

Recharge Day
Today was an absolute blast. We started out at an antique store. Something I’m always down to do but so rarely get to experience. I purchased a cross stitch I couldn’t let go. It wasn’t old and it was $10. I couldn’t walk away from someone’s hard work with it being priced so low. Then Continue reading

Exhaustion, Climate Torture, Intimidation.
I’m in Massachusetts. My husband’s family is everywhere. I’m exhausted. The only reason I get this alone time is thanks to my kid’s nap. I should be utilizing the time to nap as well, but I’m freezing. Humidity is a weird thing. It’s like I’m covered in dampness as if I’m sweating, but because I’m Continue reading

The Beginning.
This is beginning of something. Of what? I’m not sure. It’s as if something was set in motion last month. Maybe it started before that? Two weeks ago, my mom found me in Barnes & Noble after we had split ways, searching out new books. She declared that she was buying me a book. A Continue reading
