Can I just curl up and hide in a blanket today? I already put on a hoodie and socks and I’m still feeling chilly. Should I turn the heat on or just be strong? Tomorrow is supposed to be fairly decent again.

The grey skies and cool breeze is making it seem even more blah than it really is. I’m not ready to give up on nice temperatures yet. I’m not ready to accept that fall is really right around the corner.

I will find a way to stay strong and warm today. Tomorrow I will enjoy the sunshine. The long weekend is sizing up to be quite beautiful too!
