Things that have me bothered:
1) It's raining.
2) And it has been for about 36 hours.
3) I know I should be glad it's raining because it hasn't rained all summer but I'm having trouble with that right now. And that just makes me feel guilty.
4) Yesterday, I saw signs for one of those temporary Halloween stores that crops up each fall.
5). Wait a second... did I just use the word fall?
6) Yes. And it doesn't seem really out of place. Not with the cold, cold, rainy weather.
7) Did I mention it is very grey outside? That all my lights are on in mid-afternoon?
8) In other words, summer is almost over! Say it isn't so!
9) Moving on, Beanie, our tiny little orange and blue fish... he died. R.I.P. little guy. We barely knew thee.
10) And finally, horror of horrors, today I ordered an almond crossaint, my most recent obsession. And what I wound up with was a strange cinnamon-butter filled contraption that looked like a crossaint and was covered in almonds. Not quite.
Eh. I'm really not in that depressive of a mood, which is a tiny little miracle considering all of the glum signs around me. I can't believe summer is almost over. I say that every year, but every year, it's just as bittersweet, emphasis on the bitter. All I know is our upcoming trip to Maui is starting to sound really, really good. Especially when I look at the forecast and see that it is supposed to keep raining for THE ENTIRE WEEK. Egads. I'm going to need a lot more almond crossaints -- the real kind, that is -- to get through this.
