Well, a new month began sunny and hot. I had two wonderful chats with a friend and a family member this morning. It was great catching up. I got one major errand completed. I went again to check for store brand food for the furry one and they did not have any again this week -- four weeks now. <sigh>. There were points available if I bought some this week. Shouldn't they have to give those points for the lack of their own product that forced me to buy another brand? As if <sigh>.
Students are returning in droves.The first year welcome days are today and tomorrow on campus. Over the weekend the upper year residence students will arrive. Those choosing to live off campus have been showing up for the past couple of days, with more expected in the next week. Traffic has picked up noticeably with students and families. The annual exhibition which has been on hiatus for three years falls on this week and weekend, too. So, there are many people, cars, trucks and trailers encountered everywhere. Driving downtown is slow at best and no street parking places anywhere. I shouldn't be surprised that things are so busy. Generally, the population of the town doubles when students arrive. This year may be more like the pre-pandemic years in this way.
A line from a song about remembering seemed to flash through my mind often today. All those 'back to school' days from kindergarten to the last year teaching were at the centre of thoughts today. I enjoy the tempo of this song. It feels relaxing. Keep safe. Enjoy!
September -- Earth, Wind and Fire
