Pictures from my Phone & Weekly Distractions

I will forever and always be jet-lagged for as long as I live. I've been home now for about five days but I feel like I've been dead for about twenty years. What's scary is that since my birthday happened during the whole trip mess, I can't tell whether I'm tired because of what I just put myself through in Eastern Europe or if this is what it feels like to be thirty.

Someone please bring me some prune juice and a cane!

And now, your Pictures and Distractions:

My niece, Kate, who can always make me smile.

Brandt gave me a record of Paul Simon's Graceland for my birthday (the greatest album of all time). I was giddy. Then I immediately stuck it in my record player. Because, yes, of course I have a record player but no ipod. 

Driving through snow from the family reunion a couple of weeks ago.

My new painting from L'viv. Getting framed now.

I found another one of Rebecca and Kyle's Easter eggs. Eight more to go.

The Mormon temple in Kyiv.
