it's suddenly fall again: not entirely, but everyday for the last 7 days has been colder and colder, the air heavier, the sky grayer. it rained a few days ago, and i enjoyed it. last week when the humidity in the air first became apparent i found myself craving fall-- i wanted nothing more than to be bundled up in a blanket, drinking a giant cup of tea. a few days ago, while at work, i found myself looking out the giant garage window and wondering if the ground were wet or not. i used to wonder that everyday, rain became the norm, and i was shocked at how (seemingly) easily i've adjusted to the weather change. of course it'll warm up again this week, but summer will really only stick around for about 3 weeks longer, tops, and then it'll be time to pull out the scarf and hat trunk and get the perfect coat i didn't have last year.
last night i took nicholas to the airport and then took myself to see the time traveler's wife. i usually have no problem taking myself to see a movie, but once inside the theater i was reminded that it was a friday night- a time when people aren't usually at movie theaters alone. i saw several other women my age in there, solo as well, and wasn't too embarrassed when i heard all the sniffling and saw the tear wiping as i walked out at the end. i had plans today to bike to 23rd and also to check out the fixie festival this afternoon, but seeing as how it's gray and cold, i'm much more keen to stay inside. lots of coffee (and laundry) equals progress on the gigantic book i'm reading on a deadline, and then tonight i'll see the team and have a sleepover.
