I have made significant progress with both kitchen and luandry, which is very good. Taking a break until 6p or so. Except I'm making the bed first. I hate when I foeget to do that until bedtime. The worst.

My major accomplishment today has been changing a light bulb. But it was a difficult light bulb, in one of those dang light fixtures that's held together with screws, that's been needing changed for weeks, and I replaced it with an LED, so that's good, right?

Man, I'm tired.

Timelies all!

Waiting for the post-con dinner run.

so that's good, right?

Right!

I've done one round of dishwashing and put one load of laundry in the washer. Not much in the way of actually completed tasks. I have planned my clothing choices for the work week (Halloween week (which I hear in the Dean's voice (inevitably followed by All Saint's Day Month)) calls for planning):

• Monday: orange dress with black & white stripey shrug
• Tuesday: black cat/yellow moon/orange pumpkin turtleneck with jeans, maybe black blazer?
• Wednesday: Pink tarantula button-down, probably also with jeans
• Thurday: Halloween appliqued purple shirt with black skirt and batwing shoes
• Friday: all the clashing black and white prints and patterns I can fit onto my body

Fortunately, this will not require me to do an awful lot of laundry today. Some of it could probably do with ironing, but I still don't have an ironing board. Or an iron. So.

Ha! Yes. And good outfit planning.

Thanks!

I'm apparently having one of those rare "eat ALL the things!" hangovers.

That's usually what happens to me, the next day I am a garbage disposal. And very susceptible to suggestion when it comes to food.

Re: earlier conversation - I believe most stainless steel anything is dishwasher-safe, whether it is labelled as such or not. Unloading my dishwasher made think about it.

BTW - our outlet sale is coming up. Bay Area-istas, if you want to come and shop while I am working the cash register, that'll be 12/4 and 12/15 (the first and last days) all day at the Fairfield location. And this year we have been given coupons for the website that we can give out to friends and family for 40% off. I have been told that one could use said coupon even before the outlet sale starts. I don't feel like posting it to the internet would be okay, even here, but if anyone could use such a coupon just e-mail me or whatever and say so.

I adulted all week long, and my beloved cat has officially been missing for a week. And for every thing I do, I have 10 more things lined up behind it, with added family, friend and ex wife drama.

BUT. But. I have to say, if all this stuff happened to me even 6 months ago, I would not have been equipped to handle it.

So even though I should do a load of laundry and clean the bathroom and wash all the baseboards in the upstairs with bleach solution tonight...FUCK NO. I am going to take a shower, bait the cat trap and watch The Walking Dead. IN NO PANTS. /rebel

I hope Cosmo comes home soon, Strix. And you enjoy your pants-less zombie watching.

I'm going to go pick up Popeyes in a little bit and get a Fudge Pie if they have them, because why the fuck not?
