Calm And Collected

Hey everyone,

Sorry about the last couple of posts, I was just stuck in my head, which proved to not be beneficial to anyone, myself included. I have since calmed down and am trying my best to be normal. Sorry though. Thankfully, my horoscope didn’t seem all that telling today.

So today is my exciting two year anniversary at the office! I still have yet to announce this fact to my coworkers, but surprisingly no elaborate party has been arranged in my honour. Short of the three years I worked at A&W in high school, this is the longest I have ever had any job. But seeing as everyone else in the office has been here for 20+ years, it isn’t that much of an accomplishment. Only another 18 years to go! Can you imagine?

I keep forgetting to mention my love of September. So here is my list of reasons to love September:

1. It always seems to be a buzz with excitement. It really is the YSA New Year. Old friends returning from the long summer, new people excited to in the ward. There are plenty of activities and new situations. It is a chance for even us, ward old-timers, to start over.

2. Despite the fact that I have been out of school for quite a while, I still have a love for school supplies. Jenny and I have mournfully walked through the rows of new binders, markers and agendas, wishing we could come up with some excuse to purchase these products.

3. Thanksgiving is a short month away! I know it sounds weird to my American counterparts to celebrate Thanksgiving in October, but by the time the end of November rolls around, so too has winter.

4. A return to jackets, sweaters and other accessories. I don’t know if it is just me, or the fact that I am Canadian, but I really don’t have that much in terms of summer clothing. It is difficult to still look professional and stay cool in the summer with a whole wardrobe of wool pants and sweater vests.

Thanks to all of you for your understanding.

Looking forward to book club, the weekend and finally sleeping in!

Thanks to God for all of the speed.

As Always,
