A September Coffee Date.

If we were having coffee . . .

. . .We would discuss this imminent tropical storm / hurricane situation we’ve got going on. I was unaware there was even anything brewing until Friday night, when my friend got a notification on his phone that a state of emergency had been declared for the whole state of Florida. Cool.

. . .I’d tell you that I broke my favorite pumpkin mug out a few weeks ago when a gloomy, rainy day declared it was, in fact, the season. The amount of joy it brings me is borderline ridiculous. It really is the little things.

. . .I’d talk about how I’ve been practicing (what I now know is called) grounding in the mornings. Standing outside barefoot and talking some deep breaths. I saw a TikTok recommending it and decided to give it a go, and it’s so peaceful and, well, grounding.

. . .Speaking of TikTok, I’d tell you I saw a girl in a sweater dress and a switch flipped. Fall fashion inspo all day, which can be a littttttle trickier when you live in Florida. I’ve got my eye on a few things – you can see my fall fashion amazon links here. 

. . .I’d tell you that first grade has been an abrupt introduction to the real world. It’s way more hands-on than kindergarten. Jack is so tired, I am so tired, and I’m pretty sure we are learning math together. It’s been a bigger transition than I expected, but I think we’re finally getting into a good space.

. . .I’d ask you to update me on all the things going on with you. We’d say we should totally catch up like this more often, but you know, life.

I’m off to make my storm prep-list / read books and pretend a storm isn’t actually happening. Maybe we’ll get some fall weather out of it? Stay safe if you’re in the path! Love you love you.
