I take it they don't get off for the holiday!

Apparently not! School is in session, too. But most govt offices not.
I went out to take a before picture, and the site supervisor sitting in his city car across the street asked if everything was ok. Um, yeah?

I'm jealous of those who have today off. Though I doubt I'll be productive today on 4 hours sleep.

This is one of those holidays where the only way I notice is that I don't get mail.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I hate sitting next to people on the train so I try to get one of the single, forward-facing seats on the upper level. Often they're all taken when I get on the morning train. I figured today there'd be a lot of those seats open but there was only one.
Clearly more people need to have today off so I can have more choices for train seats.

Man, I *just* looked out the front door to see if mail had been delivered yet. Totally forgot. Boo.

That's lovely TB.
I'm taking today off, ostensibly for Canadian thanksgiving. Here at the cottage with my family enjoying a bit of fall. We all needed this badly.

Makes sense. ETA that was originally to tommyrot, but also holds for brenda.
My office is open but our credit department is closed (because banks? Not sure) so operations are somewhat delayed. I think this is the only holiday when that happens.

I'm on vacation all week, this isn't a holiday for me.
I'm going to throttle my cats if they pull down all the sheeting I've tacked up. They are currently attacking each other under a sheet covering the chair.

I know that can be annoying, but cats under curtains/sheets/skirts are (one of) my kryptonite. Adorbs.
