merely talk

rantings and ravings with little cohesion and plenty of pretension

 

Autumn is here.

I'm tired. It's been a long day. I hate team meeting days, they add an extra 2 (in today's case 2 1/2) hours to my work day. Today I didn't get home from work until well after 7. I left my house this morning at 7:45. That's a long day for me.

Anyway.

Yesterday I went to the UBC campus, first for Yoga, then to get a head start on some research and then for coffee and the delectable Second Cup with Anna and Amanda. It was a good way to spend my day off. Yoga wasn't as intense this time, even though I definitely felt some pain and jelliness in the legs while I climbed stairs at the library. And this morning my ass hurt. We did these weird stretches with our legs and in the end I guess we were working the ass muscles cause I'm still feeling them. Whatever. It doesn't hurt as much as it did last week. And for that I am thankful.

Today's the first day of Autumn. It defiantly feels that way. Fall has come swiftly to Vancouver. The weather has cooled, and the leaves have all started to change colour. I'm not at all unhappy to bid adieu to summer. I love fall clothing. I think it's the most beautiful and cozy. And really its the season's which fashions suit me best. I love wooly sweaters and cardigans. And lightweight scarves. And cords. And the muted colours. It's all so pretty to me.

I actually just love fall generally. I love the crispness in the air. I love how my cheeks get a tinge of pink when I'm outside for too long. I love the smells and the leaves and the reds and oranges. I really like pumpkin pie and autumn music. And beans. And hot, hearty, thick soups. And I guess having always been in school in the fall, I associate the season with new knowledge. My brain aches for some sustenance, a break from the junk I fed it all summer.

I feel things more deeply and think much more sussictly in the fall. With the cooler weather comes an intensity in emotion and a clarity of mind, which is why above all else I adore the fall. I'm able to make life decisions, to work out problems and to communicate these thoughts to those around me. So I'm so happy it's decided to come once again this year.
