It's October, and fall has ... fallen, I guess? And despite the exuberant ragweed and whatnot making everyone seem like they've got bad cases of Weepy PMS, this is my favorite time of the year. The leaves are changing color! The sky is either an intense porcelain blue or a hard, iron grey! There is a chill in the air! Football players take a break from sacking and pillaging to play some football! Soup is back! And for some reason everyone on the internet is arguing heatedly about pumpkin spice!*
And the cupboard is full of tubs of caramel apple dip, because according to Dad's Rules, it is fall, therefore it is caramel apple dip time.**
Also, I have an overwhelming urge to start CREATING things again. I've got a rather involved plan for some Torn Word inspired shenanigans. Maybe I'll finally get around to quilting that quilt that's been languishing in the closet since like 2009. And of course, I think I've untangled the knotty quetions holding me back on the latest Scatterstone installment!***
I find it interesting how very much I change with seasonal variations. Maybe they're a handy way to prod me out of ruts. Whatever it is, I do enjoy the energy surge.
*Seriously, what's with the pumpkin fights?
**We've got some Jolly Rancher caramel-apple flavored lollipops in the kitchen, but they're subpar. Nothing can beat those caramel apple pops Tootsie makes. It's hard to duplicate their unbeatable flavor combination of sticky caramel, artificial sour apple, and eventually blood because those damn things are sharper than an obsidian blade. Ahh, autumn.
***I suspected I'd follow the usual pattern of Online Installment Momentum Slowdown, simply because working out later parts of a story always seem to take more effort. But I am still plugging away! I refuse to follow the other usual pattern of Just Giving Up Completely, because dammit we aren't far from the end and it drives me NUTS when stories don't have endings. IT IS COMING, DAMMIT.
