Timelies all!
Gary took Mr. S trick-or-treating while I handed out candy. I think we got fewer kids than last year, and we have plenty of candy left over.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I missed most of the trickers, since Rosemary was on door duty. She reported that her favorite was the Queen of Squirrels -- with a tiara.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm off work, and have already gone through my mother's fall house to-do list and ordered a whole new wardrobe from Boden! (We'll see how much of it works...) I basically hate all of my winter clothes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm working from home and did a factory reset of my phone so I'm basically spending the next few hours rebuilding my homescreens and folder organization. (I didn't want tor restore from a backup in case the battery issues I was trying to solve came back.)

I thought my mother had plans for tomorrow, and was all excited to go to the mall by myself, but now I'm going with her, and it will be fine, I guess. Ah well!

Because books.
Oh, Boden. I love them.
I was going to have tomorrow off (for values of "off" that equal cleaning the whole filthy house), but now I have to work again, because one of the new part-timers called out.
And I took three rush freelance assignments before that, thinking I would have time after cleaning on Saturday ...

I got 13 rides in -- I only need another 26 tomorrow and Sunday to make a nice bonus. I've done good financially this week with nice long rides that reaped good fares, but the quantity of rides hasn't kept up.

I have a four-inch long bruise on the inside of my right forearm from where a young IV-tech--god, they were all so damned young! Get off my lawn--didn't believe me when I said my veins were hard to find. "No, no, they're right there, I can see them--where is it?" I'm afraid I yelled at him. He asked me why it was hurting, and I said, "I don't know, you're the one who stuck something in me!"
He tried twice before calling in reinforcements, and my arm looks like I was attacked by a very clumsy vampire.

That's the worst, Connie. I'm a terrible stick—my veins are awful and they often end up trying to use my hand. But when I had my accident I ended up with IVs several different days and some of them didn't work, so I ended up with bruises all over my arms and hands.
