Wait a Minute!

So tomorrow is September 1… how did that happen?! Where did the summer go?! We got 3 weeks of summer weather in August and that’s it!

August was a pretty packed month: I went to “Nerd Camp” for a week to learn about hypogeous fungi (and even collected some species that need to be described), the cutie and I went to Philly and he sucessfully defended his dissertation and we got to spend time with great people, my friend from high school got married and it was beautiful and fun, I got sick and knocked on my tuchis for a week… well that was pretty much August. Some work and helping friends from work move and a trip to the South End and even a movie got snuck in there too. Whew, maybe I’m ready for a new month.

September always feels like a new beginning… which we can probably attribute to school years. Having attended 17 years of school (kindergarden-college) it’s pretty much hardwired, and then throw in working at a university and taking the occasional class, my brain is positive September marks the beginning of things. So I think this September I am really going to embrace it!

This September will be the beginning of getting myself back in order! This hopefully will include:

• Cooking more! (Healthy things!)
• More time on the porch and listening to music
• Leaving less clutter and mess everywhere at home!
• Running more (with 2 nights of frisbee a week and signing up for 3 races I better)
• Scheduling things I want to get done and doing them (like grocery shopping and working on my collections)
• Making time to relax, be me, and do my own thing (knitting, reading, drinking tea, dancing in the livingroom, bike rides, hikes, looking for fungi, and even some yoga!)
• Have people over more!

So here’s to September and new beginnings! Let’s hope it has some good beach days in it so we can still have some summer left!
