On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.

Sacred Heart. I've been wanting to draw my interpretation of one for a while. It was an enjoyable process. Ink on paper. Website Instagram

I’m a ball of nerves.

I’ve applied for a new job.

I did a ton of research, had four informational interviews about the position with the players involved, told my boss I’m seeking out a new job, and now I’m waiting to see if I’ll get called for a proper hiring interview.

I’ve been 15 years in my current museum position. I think I have wrung just about all I can out of it. This new job is in an adjacent field, one I’ve wanted to break into for a long time. It’s also one that, even in entry level positions, usually requires a specialized degree, which I don’t have. I DO have decades of experience in my current field. I’m hoping it’s enough.

It’s also a significant cut in my hours. This scares me.

But I’ve made up my mind. I HAVE to pursue this.

Am I too old to do this? Am I too old not to?

Is this dying? Is this all? Is this what I feared when I prayed against a hard death? Oh, I can bear this! I can bear this!

@benjhawkins found this lovely antique and likely locally made ladderback chair at a thrift store today and I drove like a fool over to take a look. Still in the original red paint and likely the original seat, with interesting long finials that remind me of the spokes on a ship’s wheel. She came home with us!
