When did that happen?

A minute ago I was newly engaged, playing in the summer sun, roadtripping out of the city every weekend, getting a dog.

And now Halloween is already gone and tomorrow the temperature won’t break 40, and the puppy has been around for more than a month, and I’ve been promoted and sent to London, and the engagement is fact, not novelty, along with family dinners and holiday sharing, and the car being in the city is a novelty today, and I no longer have an apartment uptown.

It has been a summer and fall to remember, if only I noticed it as it rushed by. I need to take notes more frequently.
