Fall is fast approaching.

I lived on an academic calendar for years. Until last year, when I was unemployed. Now I'm back on an academic calendar.

This time of year has a sense of finality to it. The summer is winding down. I hope that this will mean a change in wardrobe: less capris, more long pants. Maybe a sweater or two. The back to school sales are on, selling clothes it is far too warm to wear.

I feel out of sorts. My job is in an academic environment, but is goes on, regardless of the time of year. No buying back to school supplies.

The only thing I'm thinking of buying is new pots and pans (Need then.... but SO expensive). I'm making financial plans and trying to save money. I'm dreaming of houses to buy. I'm turning into an adult.
