fall showed up this weekend.

it was like a houseguest that you are really excited is coming but they show up an hour earlier than planned because there was no traffic. so the doorbell rings and you say "shit" out loud and look around because there are still clumps of toothpaste in the sink and no sheets on the guest bed. you open the door and say "hey. you're here." in a slightly strained voice and both statements could have either question marks or exclamation points so you just give them periods. because you really are excited but you just aren't ready yet.

so fall, give me a couple days. i'm glad you're here, it's just the house is still a mess.
