a december like this
let me join the ranks of thousands of other casual bloggers in saying "wow, it's december already?!" where does time go? seems just yesterday, i was celebrating my birthday... in july. and then i realize there is so much i haven't documented (ehem, the 3-day) that i start to feel overwhelmed by the whooshing of time past my typing fingers. to add to the shock of the season, yesterday was a particularly blustery day in the neighborhood, dumping some much-needed rain on our toes and knocking out trees and power lines throughout the city. this morning's december-appropriate temperature in the 50s even made me hesitate for a moment when i stepped out of the house and felt the chill on my legs. the chill in the air always triggers something in my heart, like one of those "i know this" feelings stirring somewhere between nostalgia and uneasiness. any time the temperature drops under 70 degrees, i'm reminded of the crash-course lessons in bundling and weather i received while in japan. at least this time 'round, i'm a little better prepared (and look better doing it, i might add).
happy december all, may your days be stress free and full of fun until 2010 resets us all.
current mood: brrrr!
