I am just... stupid tired. Didn't sleep well last night.

Today was also just stupid at work. The last hour and a half just utterly fell apart, so I didn't get everything done that I'd hoped to. I had to leave some of it for the manager to deal with, which I hope doesn't suck too bad.

Weirdly today I suddenly had a very specific "IT'S FALL!!!" feeling. It's... not, quite. It was still in the 90s today, everything is still very much summer (even if the days are getting noticeably shorter and such.)

But there's a very specific kind of restlessness that hits me with fall. Restlessness and kind of nostalgia and a bit of excitement. Some directionless creative energy. Mostly... I want to bake and I want to decorate for fall and Halloween. I don't know if it's memories of back-to-school, or buried hibernation instinct ~~yes I'm joking~~ or what, but it's a weirdly domestic urge, but also a very specific one.

Patrick is safely home and recovering, which is a relief. He said he'll have to do some further testing to find out whether there's permanent damage to his heart. It's a little worrisome that he's all the way out in fucking Alma, which is so damn isolated, but at least he's not in the damn ICU.

My brain is also like "it's fall" and I keep telling myself it's only halfway through August. So yeah.

I'm glad I'm not alone! Fall is my favorite season, but winter is my least, so I'm not *overly* in a hurry to get to fall. But it was weird to just get a sudden rush of "OMG IT'S FALL YOU GUYS!" feeling, haha.

The morning temps don't help! We reached 79 yesterday, which was plenty warm for me, but the mornings . . . o_O

I'm so glad Patrick is home now. I hope there's no permanent damage.

Yeah, there've definitely been a couple mildly chilly mornings in the last couple weeks. I think this week we're dropping into highs in the 80s, which is cooler than it has been. I'm also seeing lots of apples on trees in the neighborhoods and things like that, so I know the season change is coming!

*sigh* and as of about an hour ago, they're sending Patrick back to the hospital for more testing. Bleh.

Oh no! I hope everything turns out okay.
