And then some days I hardly see anyone at all. Days like today, where I go so long without talking that when I do finally speak, I have to clear my throat to get my voice going again. I could probably do with more days like that. The weather has been most unfair this year in that just as the kids have gone back to school, the weather has turned effin’ gorgeous. Low 80s, no humidity, sunshine all the time. I walked downtown in my flipflops and sunglasses, picking up some cherry tomatoes and pignoli for a dinner with my aunt and uncle tonight. I hit the Woodstar, State Street Market, and even popped into Faces for a moment to check out fall bags. But I saw no one, spoke to no one, even though it seemed everyone was out. Some days you’re alone in the world.
