marta_beeWe had what you might call a wee bit of weather tonight. Not rain-rattling thunder and winds but certainly a lot of rain. I inched open the window to listen to it, and Bilbo had to investigate.
Maybe thirty seconds after I posted the photo to Tumblr, the power went out (because of course it did). I wonder if the weather gods weren't a little peeved at how I enjoyed a certain someone's angst. Bilbo was interested but also not very much in favor of my letting the sounds in. I slept through most of the power outage and we now have internet and electricity back, which is the main thing because it means I can still work from home tomorrow. The biggest thing is I probably napped too long too late in the day and threw my sleep schedule out of whack.
I've really been loving the feeling of autumn. Not that it's that much cooler here, highs in the mid-70's most days, but something about it being September makes the world feel a bit more cool and crisp. I've gotten some of my oversized sweaters out to wear around the house. Even if I still have to turn the AC on! It just feels like I'm allowed to give myself a hug, I guess. Also thinking fondly about Lord of the Rings since the long-expected party is a few weeks away. I don't know. The world feels a bit more homey and cuddly than it did a few weeks ago.
I'm angsting a bit about the most recent attempted assassination on President Trump. That most emphatically doesn't feel homey or cuddly. It helps that it's not being talked about as much as I expect, almost like the media is sighing heavily and just moving on. But it does make the world feel more angry and violent and unsafe than I'm really very comfortable with just now. Probably I'd do well to not think too much about it.
I did a job interview last week. I'm a bit ambivalent about the job, and equally don't know if they're sold on me. But just to talk to an actual person about an actual job feels good. Sometimes it feels like I'm hurling resumes into the void. (Which is Job Search 101, I know, but it's still not fun.)
Ah, well. Bilbo says that's enough typing for one night, and who am I to argue? Hope you're all doing well.

Yes indeed. And leaves are slowly wafting down to nearly cover my wee backyard, which is a constant reminder that the blistering hot summer is over.
Hooray for electricity coming back!
