It’s finally jacket weather. I don’t know how long it will last, but I’m doing my best to savor every second of it before the requisite late-October-backlash, during which them temps will creep back up into the 90s. Or at least the high 80s, with plenty of humidity. <\/p>\n
I’m drinking Woodchuck Draft Cider (Granny Smith). I’m trying to work my way up to beer, which I have always really hated. I’m not sure why I’m drinking this puckery cider, except that beer’s cheaper than wine and I figure if there’s ever a time to try new things, it’s now. <\/p>\n
The weather’s changing; can’t I change right along with it?<\/p>\n
I’m into chicken salad now. And I like hummus. And last week I had two cups of coffee. <\/p>\n
Does this mean I’m finally entering adulthood? Oh for Christ’s sake, I hope not. <\/p>\n
When the weather cools down I tend to overthink things. <\/p>\n
Like the new Radiohead album. I’ve been trying to describe it to people. I can’t come up with anything helpful, other than, get it, it’s good<\/i>. I’ve got it and the new Tegan and Sara on a loop. It is the height of narcissism and serendipity when music happens along at a time that makes sense in your life. The words, the sounds, all of it. Better than I could have planned, this time around. <\/p>\n
I’m just now settling back into my old routine, despite the luggage and clothing and sand strewn on my bedroom floor. I need to do laundry. I went to the grocery last night. The routines, they keep me grounded. But they also bore me to death. <\/p>\n
I just scratched a travel itch and now I’ve got another. I’ll write about that in a bit. <\/p>\n
I didn’t have any grand revelations on my vacation, but I did realize (further) that I have a lot of work to do on myself. My self-doubt can be fucking toxic. My sense of self-worth seems to shift depending on who I’m around. Too often I assign myself the role of weakest link. I am ultimately confused about my life and the direction I’d like to take it in. <\/p>\n
And I’m perpetually wondering what the frick is up with my romantic life and what kind of ceremonial dance I need to do to figure out what I want and how to get it. <\/p>\n
Another year is about to slide off the calendar. The question I can’t keep from surfacing in my head is, Did I waste it?<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
