Labor Day Weekend - Goodbye August
And here we are, Labor Day weekend, the unofficial close of the summer here in the US. I really don't even know where the summer went. In my mind we are still somewhere in May but somehow it just flew by. I know I spent a lot of time complaining about the heat and humidity especially during the earlier part of the summer. But other than that I am not sure where the time went. Summer is always the busiest season at work so I guess that has something to do with it, blurring one day into the next, one week into the next and boom here we are, the last day of August already.
Generally speaking I am not that upset. I do really like fall/autumn. It's just always a little bittersweet because it is followed by winter. But that's ok. Let's hope we have a nice fall with some good weather. And let's hope things calm themselves down at work again some time soon. It's been a bit of a whirlwind lately with some staffing issues and just general craziness but fingers crossed we will get to a better place come September.
Other than that no big plans for the extended holiday weekend for us. Not usually a huge fan of going anywhere during the holiday weekends. Too much traffic, too many crowds. The weather looks so-so. Today is pretty much overcast so far but doesn't seem like it's going to rain till much later in the evening. I think Monday looks to be the best day weather wise. Guess we will see how it goes and maybe we can at least spend some time outside over the weekend.
In other news I have booked my next travel to Austria which is exciting. I leave November 10th and come back December 4th. So that way I will be in Austria for my mom's 70th birthday and will also get to spend some time at the various Christmas Markets in Vienna. Also have a fun long weekend to Venice planned with my friend Lydia. Doing a Thursday to Sunday trip from Vienna, taking the train down and back. And the train tickets were actually really cheap buying them this far in advance which is great. Booked an AirBnB already as well. The last time I was in Venice was in 2000 so quite a while ago. I have no idea how time flies that fast. 24 years ago. Crazy.
Anyway that's about all here from my side. Hope my US friends are enjoying a nice long weekend. Oh and Canada too. I know Canada has Monday off as well. Yay :)
