#bye september

September, don’t slip from my glass.

🍂 September staggered out the door clutching a broken lunchbox and a crumpled school letter no one signed. She left behind half a PE kit, five emotional breakdowns and a suspicious smell in the hallway.

October didn’t wait for an invite - she barged in wearing damp sleeves and a smug grin, demanding costumes, cough syrup and a Pinterest-worthy pumpkin display. The mornings are darker, the snacks more tactical and the baby’s decided 3am is peak performance hour. Meanwhile, the teenager’s gone full existential, kids plotting bedtime rebellion and the spiders are unionising.

Welcome to the season of soggy optimism, passive-aggressive weather and the slow descent into glue and crafts 🍁

bye-bye september, it’s been fun c: I planned out my spreads for october, since I’m restarting my bullet journal for the month! I stopped for a while cause life was just too chaotic, but I know I’m gonna need my bujo this month c: 

did some volunteer work today, but otherwise i was pretty chill. i’m sending out my UCAS application pretty soon, so I’m trying to come to terms with that D: (send help)

Tgif. These weeks have been kicking me way, way down. I almost wish I had a PTO day each week because it would give me something to look forward to. But alas, not enough. I do have a couple of days that I have to schedule.

Today and tomorrow are hard days in my life. It’s the anniversary of my Dad passing away. I was wallowing in my drive to work just now and I think to just get through the day I will try not to think about it. I’m already sad enough being at work without all of that too.

At sundown is Yom Kippur. Which is ironically on the anniversary this year. It’s a somber holiday where you’re supposed to repent your sins. I always try to be a good person but sometimes the bitchyness and judgement gets the best of me. I’m going to try and stay off social media and actually just take some time to reflect. It’s going to be hard but I’ll do it.

Then tomorrow is also one of my very best friends birthdays. So we are celebrating on Sunday. It will be nice and the weather is supposed to be fall-like. I’m excited.
