Days off are wonderful

[ellid]

Not only did I have a lovely day researching quattrocento Italian art and culture, I picked up a new Smith sweatshirt ("Smith College Alumna," white and pale blue letters on dark blue, very spiffy) at a huge discount, and had a lovely lunch at the Student Center.

I also found out something very satisfying about my research that makes it clear that, even though I'm not a Ph.D. candidate, I'm indeed doing cutting edge research.

*squees for a moment, then goes back to work*

Hope everyone's having a good day!

Oh, yes. I am definitely on the edge of rewriting textile history...I mean, when a Big Authoritative Book written in 2003 says that there was no patchwork until the early 1700s, and it started in England, and you know very well that there's a pillow that's nearly two hundred years older than that that's *all* patchwork, well...

May I cheerfully, respectfully (and enviously) remind you that you get to go to Florence on the strength of the 'blasted' paper?
