We're off to a Halloween book festival today. We went last year and had a great time. I've been looking forward to it for months and a couple of my favorite authors will be there. So, of course, my brain is freaking out and panicking. I hate my brain sometimes.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Super jealous of travels!! I had been idly contemplating some but I think that's out now.

Calli - be sure to visit the Russian cathedral in Helsinki It has some lovely medieval icons.
Also, take a day trip over to Tallin (sp?) which is supposed to be lovely - but be sure to wear good walking shoes. Lots of cobblestone streets.
(I was there once on a work trip and would like to go back)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's a bit cooler here than it has been. Also, it's windy.

I am trying to do the November schedule with us down 4 20-hour a week positions and 1 40-hour a week position and it is a total disaster. I have reached the point where I need to take a break or cry.
Not helping is my desire to use myself as the person making up the slack in the schedule which is not actually physically possible; stop it, flea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Don't do it, flea.
Have a great trip, Calli!
meara, do you listen to podcasts? That might be a good option for semi-attentive times.

Not a podcast person really, but my friend got the roku to work—she said it was a weird issue where it didn't see the right network, but it had happened before so she was able to fix it. Yay

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
The Boston Terrier got adopted out, so no foster for me. 3 hours of block-walking and the rain stopped, so that was more pleasant than I thought it was going to be.
Now food and TV.

A friend came over and brought me some food and watched great British bake off with me for a bit, so that was nice.
