Today I was woken up by the clanking, hissing, and other bizarre noises of my basements heating system. The apartment I live in now has a steam heating system, meaning it makes all sorts of delightful noise (I hope you are reading that last part in a sarcastic tone :) ). I knew it was going to be noisy but i think that this noise is going to get out of control! Thank goodness for ear plugs :).
It woke me up at 4am and I was half asleep at the time so I seriously thought someone was in my apartment and I was going to be stolen away. It's so funny how your mind comes up with these crazy things when really its nothing big. When I thought I was going to be stolen I hid under my covers and the thing I was concerned about was not if I was going to make it out alive or not, or what was going to happen to me, but the fact that I just finished paying off my tuition for this semester of grad school and I didn't think that they would give my money back....as you can see grad school has COMPLETELY taken over my life and brain! haha...o well. Thank goodness it was simply the heater.
Since I survived my horrific event this morning I treated myself to a pumpkin spice latte and a walk in the rain. I am going to need the caffeine since I was unable to get back to sleep and have a LONG day ahead of me. I really wish that days were longer than 24 hours...somehow everyday that amount of time isn't enough!!! I am sure that most would agree with that idea :)
On a happier note we are now going into my favorite season! I love fall and all the colors, smells, and changes, college football and other wonderful things it brings. Every time I see a pile of leaves all I want to do is go and jump in them and lay in the orange, red, yellow pile of beauty. I hope that Wyoming decides to have a long fall this year instead of the snow coming in October. crossing my fingers!
Lots of love and changing leaves,
