An interesting feeling.
It was lovely walking back into my house and feeling my space again. I've made it very cozy and colorful and just being in it gives a good hit of dopamine. My bed is of the utmost comfort, there was never a more comfortable bed.
I had to rekindle the relationship with my plants, all but one of the orchids made it through. Our relationship is always a WIP.
Haroldo, my only fur-lined son, was much happier to see me than I had thought he would be. He was very sweet and cuddly for a few days and then turned back into his sassy attacking self.
Once I got back I was able to find an engine replacement for my car and get back on the road. It has been great not needing to drive for a month but now I need my car to get to Trader Joe's. I've been very spoiled with the access that I have to grocery stores.
Since being back I've made endless çoban salatas. I also found out that a local international grocery store sells Şalgam and the tasty dried Turkish olives that I fell in love with. Now I am eating more olives than anyone should be allowed to, yolo.
I also got all of my film processed, I've been posting a few on my photography Instagram, @lawdofthefilm.
Looking back at my photos and feeling the memory of a particular space and time feels so special. I know that I really had the time of my life and was present for that trip.
Enough about Türkiye, it's time to make space for new adventures.
