something i realized today was that i have been living the past whole week without a headache. and that i didn't even notice. so now i am not sure whether that is good or bad. also what i realized is that my outdoors life doesn't have to end with fall. i keep thinking that because school is starting back up i am not allowed to be outside, hike, or ride my bicycle anywhere, but i am not going to let school trick me. taking classes doesn't always mean looking longingly out of windows. at least until winter happens, which could be anytime around here.

back to the old life. back to hot tubs, and baking, and missing people at the oddest times. it is going to be a long fall.
