Sadly the halcyon days of indolence and relaxation could not last, and it's back to a trillion things to do yesterday, traffic and generally running around like a 17th century French nobleman with my head cut off.

le sigh

The trip was amazing, though, and it was absolutely gorgeous. I also managed to find a bespoke Italian 3-piece suit that just needs the sleeves and hems taken up slightly and is otherwise a perfect fit, and a terrifying woven clown picture for a friend at a great antique mall, eat nothing but delicious local produce that all came from within 5 miles of where I was staying (and some of which I picked myself), go swimming for the first time in two years, and go on a few short hikes.
