falling in

Labor Day is the unofficial start to fall and it seems that the weather knows it, but I sure don't want to believe it, not yet anyway. A few days ago i broke into a sweat just sweeping the kitchen floor, it was 87 degrees in my apartment and over 90 outside. Now I am shivering under my covers in my bed; it's in the 40's this morning. Last night I drank hot chocolate while cuddling under a blanket. I just got the hang of summer and now it is rapidly slipping away. Fall has never been my favorite season. Why would it be? It's always been the start to school- yuck!(even though i haven't been in school for years now) and always begins the increasingly faster onset of winter, winter in Michigan. Everyone else around me, however, seems to think fall is the greatest. It's all about "hoodie weather" and apple cider and brightly colored leaves. All of those things are great, but give me spring any day with it's green grass and warm days, that really aren't that warm but just seem that way because we all forgot that outside temperatures could feel like that. The thing is, I do like this cold feeling right now. I like the heaviness of my comforter on me while I sleep. I like the idea of being able to turn on the oven in my kitchen again. I like being able to wear clothes in my house, something that 90 degree days don't always allow me. I had completely forgotten that i had sweaters, but in an effort to locate warmth, there they were in a part of the closet i don't usually venture to. I guess, like it or not, those sweaters are coming out, because fall is here and winter will soon be on it's way. So with the start of this new season, a season where I will have more inside time and dark days to fill up, i am starting this blog. I have no idea what the hell I am doing yet, so be patient please.
