The leaves are doing that thing where they change color!

Fall is my favorite. It took me a little by surprise this year. I was driving to work, as I do, sitting up straight and clutching the wheel like usual, when I passed a tree with a vine climbing up it that was bright orange. I haven't been feeling very well for the past ... months, but seeing the vibrant colored leaves everywhere makes me feel a little happy and calm despite myself. Man, the Temperate Deciduous Forest rocks.

It's also that time of year when my mother insists that I get a flu shot, and I don't.
