Time doesn’t mean much to me since my occupation ceased to involve doing tasks for other people.. The days of the week all run together, so I often forget where I am in relation to the calendar. It doesn’t help that it was cold for several weeks, then it got really hot, and now it’s just sort of human temperature.

That’s why when I saw this display of gold and silver balloons, I just thought, oh yeah, it’s New Year’s again. It took a second to register that it’s the middle of May. I had to take a closer look and saw that the balloons all say some variation of graduation on them.

Why doesn’t graduation season get its own color scheme? It’s off-putting to see the colors of winter in late Spring. Graduation season should be purple and royal blue, maybe some burgundy, and then a little bit of gold for contrast. Okay, chop chop🫰 🫰 people, get on it.
