I can finally BREATHE!!!

I’ve really got to get ahold of this whole “summer makes me feel like crap” thing, because summer is actually not that bad, but I just hate how I get in the summer, and that makes me hate summer.

argh.

Now that the air is finally chilly and the humidity is practically nil, I can breathe. One of the trees next to the house is actually changing colors and dropping a few leaves! I told Melissa a few weeks ago “I wish most of the year felt like autumn.” Her reply: “You mean in a permenent state of decay?” Well, I suppose if you want to put it in such gloomy terms, then fine, but to me it seems like there’s this crazy energy about… Fall is so energizing, and it is strange that this time of year is the time of decay. weird. I often confuse the mellow-ness of summer for lethargy, and lethargy turns to apathy, and apathy to depression… Hence, why I isolate myself in the summer. Autumn is a time for actually doing things and feeling good about myself.

Ok, ramble over.

I’ve spent the larger part of the past couple of weeks being quite productive. I’ve made several new garments (mostly skirts and aprons, I’m in this weird country mood of late) and I’ve organized my crafty area so I can actually find stuff. I’ve started the scrapbooking job, and had my first home class the other day… I think it went quite well. My sister is going crazy with all the new toys (she’s my best customer so far) and she’s getting my Mom all excited for the class that she’s hosting. woo hoo! I’ve also spent oodles of time organizing the Community’s website. I’m responsible for it, and this summer I let it stagnate (kinda like this site), so I’m going to have to put in a ton of work still over there, and at this site, too.
