Home, Maine.

Returning home from school this summer I was instantly greeted by the familiar broken landscape of Maine. I had just managed to figure out my first summer job (later I picked up another,) and had a few weeks to rest after a somewhat stressful spring semester.

One of the things I have been dealing with the most recently, and will have to continue to deal with, is my stomach. It's been somewhat of an obsession, but constant mild pain in my stomach is really hard to divert my attention from. After trying out a series of different drugs for my stomach I have settled on one, but I also have to manage my stress to feel relatively normal. It has been a big part of my life for the last 8 months or so, and it finally seems to be getting out of the way of daily function --kind of. Without talking about it too much, my stomach is definitely bad partially to blame from being sick in Asia so much, and partially it's where my body decides to direct stress, it has been an interesting way of getting in touch with myself.

But back to summer, I unpacked:

It's good to be back.

I think I'm recovering.

Seeing, pace of life. 

Summer so far...

Summer has been interesting so far. A lot of it has been running around trying to get my shit together before I move both in Maine and go on another adventure in 10 days. On my birthday (I turned 21?) I went up to Camden Maine with me Mum and Paul to check out so potential houses. We may have had some luck, we'll find out soon.

Poppies.

The swaddled dog. I'm not sure what she lets me do this.

But maybe it's because I buy her love with walks.

I've also been hanging out with this dude a lot. We may or may not have been doing a bit of this some evenings. It's been fun. I'm not sure why I took this photo, but the angle is interesting. Also, it's my last bit of time with him until pretty much Christmas since I won't be around for the rest of the summer. He will be going to San Francisco Art Institute this fall.
