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.

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

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.

I do love when a cat does the Army crawl up under the sheets on an otherwise neatly made bed. Just a telltale lump.

I am off today, but may do some work anyway, depending on how much people are on email. Good times.

My cat only wants to get under the covers with me at 6:15 AM on a workday. Days I'm sleeping in he doesn't give a damn, only when he can wake me 30-45 minutes before the alarm does he paw sweetly at the covers so he can snuggle.

Happy birthdays to megan walker and Cash!
