Today started earlyish for me. I was up and ready to do things, but I wasn't sure what things I wanted to do. Breakfast was had and lunch and then it was finally time to do things. Things meant leaving Stewart to paint and for me to go exploring alone. And that is what I did.

I felt like the heroine in my own mid life crisis film. You know when she breaks from her ordinary life and does great things and it's all a part of this messy adventure called life? Yeah, I am starring in that film right now. The upswing part.
