Summer's End.

I'm real glad that summer is over. This summer felt particularly short, which I definitely can't complain about. I wish that I got to do more summery things like going to the beach and swimming, spending time in the sun. But sometimes it feels even difficult to enjoy those things because of how hot the summer is. I at least got to end my summer spending time by the pool in Palm Springs which I'm thankful for, and I'm sure there was more fun summer things I did that I'm not thinking of now.

I remember the previous summer was so hot that I felt I couldn't do anything at all except lay on the couch with a fan and an ice pack. The summer felt like it would never end. It was inescapable.

But now I can feel that fall is here, the air feels crisp and we can keep the windows open through the day to keep the house fresh and cool. It's still warm, but not warm enough to cause suffering.

I want to do more fall things. I don't want to have another season of feeling like I've done nothing. It's October 5th and we've already watched one Halloween movie which is a good start! I'd really like to watch more movies. Cuddle on the couch and spend long mornings in bed. I'd definitely like to get some pumpkins. Light candles. Make a soup. Hot cocoa? I really like the that abuelita hot cocoa.

Maybe I can dress up for halloween and actually go somewhere. I've been especially bad at attending social things and being able to find the energy and effort to dress up and socialize lately. Not my proudest attribute, but I'm working on it... I'd like to take a drive somewhere that actually looks like fall, see the leaves that have changed and fallen.

Anyways,, here's to fall. Let's make it cozy and peaceful.
