McCarty's Cove
How in the helly do I not already have a blog post titled McCarty’s Cove? The cove that… I’ve spent the last five years crying and healing at, lol. Of all the spots in Marquette, this is… the major one. It was the first stop in town I made after settling into my Airbnb the first night of moving to Marquette. Speaking of which, my five-year Yoopiversary is coming up in a few weeks… and I don’t know, I’m already sentimental over it. I’m already sentimental anyway, let alone adding on an anniversary of something that’s been one of the most life-changing moves I could have made, and in times when I just feel scared about everything, I look back at that Tieka, totally fearless, and wish I could emulate her more some days. But maybe I wasn’t fearless back then, because it wasn’t scary to come here, it was one of the most wanted, natural things that came in my life, one that just continued to work out month after month, year after year. I found home. That’s for sure.
Anyway, I got out for a very very glorious golden hour, although summer somehow halted and fall is now here. Leaves are starting to change, it’s currently 55º outside, I was hoping for like… a last little bit of summer, some beach-time, but it’s just been weird weather these last couple of weeks. I absolutely love this time of year, the vibe in the air of the seasonal transition, the earlier evenings, cooler breeze, the hope of autumn, but man I wasn’t ready, I feel like the rug has been pulled out from beneath me quite a bit this summer! But! I love fall, I can’t complain, but this is what’s going to happen, I’m going to get into a fall mindset, and then all of a sudden, summer is going to come back with a vengeance. 😂 Just let me get comfortable, world, lol.
Alright, I’m off… I have a full week of vacation next week and still haven’t even fully decided what I’m going to do with it yet. 🫣 I have analysis paralysis, decision fatigue, that’s for sure, hahaha. Too many options. Too much freedom. It’s not a bad thing, but sometimes it prohibits me! But I’m heading downstate for sure, going to a fun cocktail-attire party a friend is hosting, and hopefully do a little traveling however that looks. But I think I’ll stick close to home (literally my go-to vacation spot, hahaha) for some end-of-summer time in MQT. Anyway, have a great long holiday last-weekend-of-summer Labor Day! xoxo
