October: not so much fun this year
I was so looking forward to October. The first week, we had a heat wave. Then, the leaves took so long to change, some trees just dropped them all before they reached full color. K lost her job and health insurance, I got sick, then she got sick, Kitty is sick (major hairballs), our cars are acting up, and now drama with the kid.
Halloween’s in four days, and I haven’t even bought a frikkin’ pumpkin. Haven’t decorated the house. Why bother? I’ll just have to put it all away again in a few days. We never get any trick-or-treaters, anyway.
Only good thing is, I drove K down to an interview at a temp agency and spent the time while waiting for her at Daniel Smith’s (same area of town, more or less) and got the Derwent Inktense Pencils. Unfortunately, I was a bit short and had to put them on my credit card, which I will now not be able to pay off before interest takes effect. Oh, well. I so don’t care about that right now. The pencils are amazing.
I’m only one ATC behind for the month; it’s one I started on 10/20 and it’s taking a little while to finish. Otherwise, I’m on track.
