Challenge 204: Onward

Well it's spring cleaning here in the house. Time to get my butt in gear and do all the towels laundry that's been piling up, organize the closets, mop the floors, give the kitchen and bathroom a good scrub. It feels good to do it. In fact, I love doing it, especially when I know it'll stay that way for awhile.

Today is sunny. It's early evening and the slight wind outside is making the red flag in front of my window dance and the trees sway. I can feel fall somewhere around the corner. Not in anything specific, just a general feeling and knowingness that August is technically the last month of summer. Summer just flew by with no real beginning or end for me. I didn't really do any "summery" kind of things, my workload was the same, and I still don't have a tan. Very different from the southern california summers I'm used to. And the non-tan isn't because the weather hasn't been nice. I think it's because I no longer have a pool at my house, or a laying out area, and the beaches aren't necessarily the warm spots here.

I found out last night that I passed my written exam for school. One more thing to go and then I'm certified! My oral exam is scheduled for the end of September.

Vaughn left this morning. It wasn't a huge event. Just a following of events, time passing. We knew it was coming. And it was gosh darn early. 6am. I took him to Bart, we said a quick goodbye and I came home and went back to sleep for a few hours. Nothing feels different yet, except tons of laundry is being done. I wonder why it doesn't occur to me to do while he's here. Hmmmmmmmm.

Anyway, I have a lot planned this month and I'm really excited. Starting with a Trader Joe's run and dinner/brainstorming session with Lily. Onward.
