Oh Laura, how tough.

I am...sitting around thinking I'm getting a cold? Which, boo. But I did just fill out my ballot. And if I can drag myself upstairs to change clothes I might go drop it off at the ballot box. Or not. Am supposed to have dinner with a friend, may just stare at Law and Order until then. Tried to watch "Timeless" but couldn't get into it. But did catch up on Jane the virgin

Oh, Laura, I'm sorry. Hang in there.

I have to make a cake this afternoon, but I've run a lot of errands (and also run 5 miles) today, and all I really want to do is watch the rest of the Hamildoc. Bah. Off to the store for eggs, milk, and yogurt...

I made a bunch of cookies for the fundraiser we're having tonight. Hope people show up!

Also, I found out that you can use plenti points at Macy's. We have a ton because we converted Amex points that had been gathering for a while so BOOOM! bought myself some black velvet leggings for my Hween costume. I'm going as my friend's black lab. (She's going as my dog and Bob's going as our other friend's big dumb golden retriever. Silly but fun!)

That's adorable!

Thinking of you and your family, Laura.

I was just over at the house and being utterly overwhelmed at how much junk is left over. So I'm going to tell landlord/friend, who will be by tomorrow, that I cannot finish this on my own and will pay for someone to do it. A lot of this has been mortification at the conditions I was living in, but the wall has been reached. This must end.

A guy on the housekeeping/janitorial staff just said to me, "Y'know, we should just quit this job and run away together" as we passed in the hall. Um, whuh?

Connie, that sounds like a wise and brave decision.

aurelia, he what?? inappropriate!

The doggie Halloween costumes are adorable! Please take photos for us.

My new anti-anxiety med is also an anti-awake med. Damn, she thinks I'll take this 3 times a day? No effing way. Tolerance, I must build it.

I bought too many clothes. I am going to see what works best with the stuff here at home I am hoping to pair things with and then take some back tomorrow.

I'm sorry about your mom, Laura.

I'm so chuffed to hear people excited about the Hamilton doc - the director is a high-school friend of my sister's, and I'm so proud of him! (And also insanely jealous of his proximity to LMM.)
