Sounds like a great trip, Sue!
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I think I am out of steam. Also, my fantasies about how much I would be able to accomplish with these days off were highly delusional. I don't think I actually finished any one thing that I wanted to get done. Did make considerable progress, even if it is only apparent to me. I expect I will be too tired to do anything tomorrow after work, because work after being off for almost a week is pretty much guaranteed to be exhausting, but I hope I can get more shit done over the weekend (which is gratifyingly soon). For now, I'm gonna try to do one seriously tiny bit of mending while I watch TV, maybe fold the towels when they are done drying, and that's it.
Oh crap, I think I am too tired to go to an event I signed up for that has free massages and champagne. Not to mention I am sweaty and gross and by the time I showered and changed and drove over there it would be way late. Damn it. Ah well, maybe next time.

Also, I think I let the salsify go too long, the roots were both woody and spongy which I don't think is right. Fortunately, I have a lot more plants to try to time harvesting.

Our wings are not tired.
Very cool, Sue! And I appreciate the Hamlet review. It was on my list and maybe now it won't be!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Sounds like an amazing time, even with the ehn Hamlet, Sue!
And I knew I'd planned on being something else for Halloween but couldn't remember what it was, until the bike ride home: THIS.

That's perfect, JZ!
I'm going as an Eternal Scout from Welcome to Night Vale. (The third of three costumes that I had planned to wear in one day last Halloween, and didn't have the energy for.) So I feel like I'll be your evil twin, in a way.
I just did (another) re-watch of Over the Garden Wall last night while unpacking, and I feel like there is so much Halloween costume potential there, but this costume has been waiting a year, and I'm not going to attempt multiple costumes in a day again. That's exhausting!

Good one, JZ!
I am afraid of starting to listen to Night Vale at this point. I don't even know if that makes sense or not. My point is, can't comment on your costume, aurelia.
I would like to do something pop culture related but haven't been able to think of anything. Or maybe I should do something AHS related since I have accidentally done that the last two years But I don't even know what the theme is this season, just that Lady Gaga is in it.

Oh, gosh, yes! There is indeed!
I definitely need to make myself one of these.

Oh yes! Definitely.
I am going to this event shortly after Halloween, and I'm tempted to wear my Eternal Scout costume to that, too. But that might be weird.
