after a quite reclusive weekend, i have decided this week is going to be awesome. not only are there some exciting events (ie, the Midwest Pages to Prisoners Pack-a-Thon!!! on 10/11), but the temperature is going to drop, drop, drop into true fall times!
i always feel better when summer goes away. i never have to worry about getting sun on my skin and i love to layer up the clothes. fall/winter = leg warmers, jackets and scarves. my faves! further, i have plans to really soak up and celebrate the season: long walks through leaves, seasonal baking that includes a lot of pumpkin and nutmeg and a sweetheart that feels fall for sure. i'm really excited, it's quite rejuvinating to me!
as far as work goes, it is still so consuming and, at times, soul-sucking. this whole learning-professional-boundaries-to-prevent-burn-out-and-maintain-my-seperate-identity stuff is slow and hard work! it's not the difficulty of it that turns me off, it's the long, slow process part. i have so much patience for other peoples' lives, but hardly any for my own stuff.
