Showed up a touch early this year – no doubt because we’ve had a break in the heat and you can just sense the season just barely starting to change – little cooler at night, little darker when the alarm goes off, and the air just smells a little different.

Combine this with this unending plague, and vague feeling of being stuck that I can’t quite put my finger on, and you’ve got a gentle wave of melancholy that showed up over the course of the afternoon.

But, I’m gonna just lean into it and let it come and go, and remember that spring will come again, it always does.
