Catching Up Over Coffee: September 2023

Life

I’m convinced I blinked and September is over.

Josh and I went to see Jon Stewart, John Mulaney, and Pete Davidson in Springfield, MA, and it was a really great. I really only wanted to go for John Mulaney but we enjoyed the entire show.

Josh’s sister also got married! That was our big event for the month.

I broke out the fall decorations in the middle of the month—mostly because I couldn’t wait anymore.

We went to The Big E this past Thursday for our second annual trip! We tried a lot of yummy food, did a lot of walking, and even got to pet some dogs.

Things not pictured:

  • Met up with a friend from the ice cream shop and met her new doggo
  • Went to Tree House Brewing in Charlton, MA with Josh
  • Had fun fall drinks with an old co-worker (but still friend!) at a winery
  • Had to get a filling at the dentist 😦

“Exercise”?

I wasn’t as good as August at keeping up with my running. Life happens, you know? I think I need to find motivation to keep it up next month, especially now that it’ll get colder and darker earlier. at night.

Sports

Football is back! I’ll be honest, I don’t think I watched a Red Sox game this month… a combination of them being terrible and being blacked-out on the MLB.TV app. But I am excited to have an excuse to not leave the couch on Sundays.

I’m in two fantasy leagues this season, and I’m not off to a good start. It’s early, though.
