August calm

It’s August and things are generally quiet. The city feels empty except for the tourists roaming around. It’s a Monday, but my office is eerily quiet. I’d suspect a ton of people are on vacation right now.

For myself, it’s a good time to get caught up on life and work before things really hit the fan after Labor Day. I had Colin most of the weekend alone and that was equally parts stressful and fun. Sophia and I spent most of our Sunday running errands and figuring out how to feed Colin. We finally got some pictures up on the wall and our apartment is starting to feel complete finally.

Despite the relative quiet, the list of things to do and errands seems to never end. We need to get a new car seat, plan our trip in October, get our finances in order, etc. Life is only going to get crazier and I suppose it’s up to me to just embrace that aspect.

I hope to use these next 3 weeks to just get ahead of everything. It’ll be easy to just coast a bit in August, but I need to make sure to stay focused and get ahead of things in order for me to keep my sanity in the busier months ahead.
