july is ending

and so are my vacations for the year.

I became very spoiled in July, having two full weeks off for vacation.  Now that it's Sunday night I'm finding myself really dreading going to work tomorrow.  Partially because I'm absolutely exhausted and I think I could sleep for an entire day, but also because I am wanting to quit my job soon, and it's getting awkward.  Rob tells me every day I should quit that day, and he has even communicated on multiple occasions he's okay with me not working for a while.  But I just don't know.  I've never quit a job just because; I've always had a reason to offer my employer as to why I have to leave.

In other news, even though it's been hideously hot and humid in the great midwest (and everywhere else, apparently?), I am sensing my fall feelings settling in. I associate fall with back-to-school things, and it makes me feel really nostalgic.  Lake James makes me feel really nostalgic, too (Lake James = where I was for camp).  I actually spent a good time thinking about it last week.  The people I see at camp I generally only see one week out of the year, so every time I see them, they are literally a year older.  It makes me very aware of how quick life is passing and also brings to life a variety of memories that I have and associate with the camp. I wouldn't say it makes me sad, but it makes me feel something like sad, but happy?  I know that sounds really weird, but I guess that's what nostalgia is.

Anyway...
