The warmth of summer left with you, the departure bittersweetly ushering in my favourite time of year. Welcome to sunny days with cool breeze undertones, thunderstorms and the absence of mosquitoes. Book ending sunburns, suffocating humidity and bug spray with an absolute ease of outdoor life (why would you even go back in? If you have to, why would you even close a single window?). This is the only time you can just show up, as is, without any other considerations. I left the house without my purse yesterday, just a credit card and lip gloss in my dress! For hours! Unbelievable. Is there anywhere that feels like this for longer?

A lady I deeply admire moved in nearly next door and I am so pleased. She has my dream life: curly hair and two babies. Also she worked for Democracy Now (RIGHT?). I am excited to casually fit myself into her days. It is so thrilling when people move back to this town.

My art piece for the group show is terrifying and I’m going to have a hell of a time finishing it up this week. Good luck, future self ❤
