zomerstop.

This is the first year in a while where I've both

1) taken a summer vacation that included leaving the city
2) felt like I deserved one because I'd been working hard

so congratulations to me, sure, but now? Summer's kiss is over, baby....o-ver.

I mean, it's not really over, August is the emptiest month in town, I shouldn't have anything to do, etc. But it feels somehow wise to be putting my party hat back in its holster or drawer or wherever it goes, and rejoining our semi-productive year already in progress.
