Welcome back from a very long weekend! Did everyone have a good time?
The weather has also begun to cool down which is very nice.
Our idiom for today is, pay the price.
This means to deal with the consequences of your (ones) actions.
Example 1
Well, you cheated on the test and they caught you. Now you have to pay the price.
Example 2
I am sure paying the price for staying up all night and drinking. I feel just terrible! I am never drinking again!
