it's official.

Fall is here and the weather is flaunting the season change. my insides are so giddy.

today is my first day back in the office. i took a couple of days off because mentally and emotionally, i just needed a break from this place. i took emi on walks, caught up on school work, tried out a couple of recipes, and just collected myself. i needed to or else i really would have fallen apart.

i'm feeling more refreshed today. sometimes you just need to spend time with yourself and say, "breathe. it's going to be okay."

p.s. i bought emi's halloween costume yesterday. i couldn't help but laugh out loud when i saw it in the store. first thing i did when i returned home was put it on emi. i was laughing and smiling the entire time - i made her keep it on for an hour. she wasn't amused. she sat in place and huffed and puffed at me until i gave in and took it off. is it my fault that i'm addicted to cuteness?
