Aww, sad Matt!!
I helped my new roommate move In. Then helped my friend (along with others) clean out her mom's apartment (her mom died earlier this week) and hung out after for a bit. Then cleaned my room(which started with cleaning out the cabinet under the sink, and ended with my closet). Then I met up with friends for karaoke. I put on devil horns and wore black, and red lipstick. My one friend was dressed as Holtzmann (she has the right hair for it too) and sang Ghostbusters. I sang "Poor Unfortunate Souls", and then left as a woman in a Handmaids Tale costume was singing "I'm just a girl". Good times.
Tomorrow I need to clean up my office, pack for my two week trip, and try not to panic? I'm telling myself I basically have the whole day, my flight isn't until late. But shit could take longer than I expect.
I'm sorry about the kitty, Matt.
Sadly I apparently left before my two friends, who were dressed as Wayne and Garth, sang "Bohemian Rhapsody", darn it!
Yesterday, I went on historical tours of two sites, cleaned the house and finished it off with firepit in the alley with the neighbors. I'm inheriting the firepit. Did final load of laundry and neighbor's laundry because her plumbing is acting up this morning and it's grey and rainy and I've run outta doing.
Timelies all!
Tonight gary and I are going to a concert- a tribute to Oscar Brand. Bunch of good performers, including Christine Lavin and The Limelighters(well, the current incarnation of them). We have a babysitter for Mr. S.
Guys, I want to jump and squee at the news but basically I'm avoiding it all--I can't help expecting that it all comes to nothing and I don't think I can live with raised hopes and expectations, followed by more (the inevitable, I'm afraid) crushing disappointment. I'm totally aware that's not how other people deal, and that's fine. I just wanted to, I don't know, let y'all know what a supertitious old biddy I am, I guess.
I am sitting with Beverly and -t. Though it's true in other white collar crime, they go for the wife or kid first so even if it is disappointing, it still might be the start of an unraveling.
I'm performing at a Halloween Hafla in Petaluma tonight. I think I've got my costume all sorted out, about to take a leisurely bath before starting on my makeup. Feeling pretty good about the choreography...
What's your costume?
I've been sort of cleaning the house all day, in a kind of 30 minutes on, 60+ minutes off fashion. This is literally the first day I haven't left the house at all in years, I think.
If I ever need to create any sockpuppet accounts anywhere, I now have a list of names to choose from.
