last day of summer

Last day of summer, once again. It’s a weird feeling every year. I can’t even be that sad that it’s ending, I haven’t done much. A couple little trips, that’s something. It was kind of fun while it lasted.

I was going to watch the sunrise today but I woke up too late. I used to watch the sunrise often, it kept me sane. I haven’t been in a while, I don’t really know what’s keeping me sane now. But anyways, I drove 30 minutes away to the big city to pick up a new record player. It’s bright pink, adorable. I never loved the color of my other one, it’s not bad, just doesn’t go as well. The pink will go with the pink of the flowers on my couch. That’ll be really cute.

Now I’m in a really cute cafe, working on a book that’s going to be published soon. That’s a crazy thing within itself, something I’ve dreamed about since the day I could have dreams. I’m almost done with it, too. A whole ass book. It seems so… vulnerable.

My 2 hour parking is going to expire in about 10 minutes so I’m about to head out of this place. Maybe I’ll go thrifting, I need some new school pants. I hate all of my clothes right now. I have that feeling every couple of weeks, I’m sure I’ll get over it soon.

After that, I’m definitely going to Trader Joe’s. I love Trader Joe’s. There’s none near me, so I need to take advantage of it being 5 minutes away while it can, ya know? I think I’ll pick up some flowers, even though my boyfriend is going to be sad because he loves to get me flowers, but I’ll remind him that there is no limit to the amount of flowers that I will let into my room. If I had too many flowers that they were even taking up the space on my bed, I would just sleep on them. Honestly.

Anyways, I’ll go to Trader Joe’s and then I’ll probably just drive home. Unless I have time to go buy another vinyl for my new record player. I’ll have to play it by ear. I have my nephews birthday party tonight, I can’t be late. I got him some cute black converse for his tiny, little feet.

And then, I’ll go to sleep and wake up and go to school. I’ll move on from summer. I didn’t do much this summer, but I did write a book. And I actually love school. I’m actually pretty excited. 3rd year of college, that’s crazy. I definitely need new pants, though. I gotta go now, before I get a parking ticket.
