Feel better, sara. Don't overdo it. Do you need anything? I'm just leaving the office.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Nah, I'm good (besides, about to walk out the door myself.) I'm just bemused by how much of the day I spent asleep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Who's your carrier again? I'm pretty sure my sister's bought a UK SIM as well as a US SIM for her Jamaican phone. And I could buy a Kenyan one for my (T-Mobile or maybe AT&T) phone.

So they're shutting down my building because of the General Strike called for tomorrow. ::rolls eyes::
Rather than try to squeeze into a cubicle in the other office down on the waterfront, I'ma take the day off. Gonna go for a nice long run in the hills, and maybe treat myself to lunch. Or hit the Nordtrom's Sale. ::looks shifty:: Hey, it's supporting the economy...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Ginger!
So apparently I went to Chicago for warmer weather and lack of snow? I still have not really seen any Chicago tourist attractions, but I'm sure I'll be back, since my friend was moving there. What I did see was several great friends, one tiny baby (8 weeks today!), and a bunch of real estate -- I felt like I was on House Hunters. Good times.

We had over 350 kids at my mom's house last night. We really didn't expect that many. Thankfully, we could tag-team trips to get more candy. We had 200 bags of candy made up, but needed way more. The best costume was a middle school kid, who was wearing khaki Dockers, a button- down shirt and horn rimmed glasses, and had the shirt half unbuttoned to reveal his Superman costume. We had a large assortment of fairies, butterflies, a bunch of bananas (5 kids), and a very small Capt Jack Sparrow. The funniest part of the evening was the line of kids waiting to pet my mom's ancient chihuahua (dressed as a pumpkin) after they got their candy.
My youngest, who is a high school sophomore and his friends went trick-or-treating last night, but since they are all in marching band, they wore their band jackets and played songs for their candy. I heard many compliments on their efforts.
ETA: Happy birthday, Ginger!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Ginger!
We ended up getting a good number of trick-or-treaters last night. (We bought two bags of candy and all but three or four were given out. One piece per trick-or-treater.)
