It's the end of the world, as we know it.

Remember last week when I mentioned that the Tampa Bay area has had a lot of rain as of late? Welp, that hasn't changed. Hence why I'm writing today's post when I should be at work. However, I can't actually get to work because one bridge is completely closed and the other one looks a lot like this...

The picture above was taken sometime in the morning. But would you believe me if I said the flooding was this bad on Saturday, too? Because it was, and I was 45 minutes late to work that day. Thus, today was just not finna happen, if you know what I mean.

So it's safe to say August has had a rainy start. August! Can you believe it? Ryan and I popped into Pier 1 yesterday afternoon and they already started setting up fall decor and Halloween decorations! I'm well aware that summer in Florida continues long into the autumn months, but I just love everything about fall. All the going back to school hype, football season (I like the tailgates and Sunday Funday parties...sometimes I even understand the game), pumpkin scented everything, cozy sweaters that I won't have a chance to wear until January...ahhh, yes. One of my favorite times of the year.

But in all seriousness, August is going to be a crazy month. On Friday, I'll be taking my first trip to Key West for my roommate's bachelorette party! Then just five days after we get home, Ryan and I move into our very first apartment together. Two weeks after that I start my pre-requisite classes for speech-language pathology. I am quite literally a mess in a dress thinking about all that I have to get done this month. 

In the meantime, you can find me absolutely nowhere near my car, running "internet errands" from the comfort of my kitchen table, accompanied by a cup of tea. Talk about a happy Monday!
