Super inconvenient

mousmeSo when I had dinner with the Parental Units two weeks ago, W. was also there. She's the mother of my childhood friends, whom I've spoken of in the past.
At her insistence, I am having dinner with said childhood friends. Originally they were coming to my place for dinner, but the plans have since changed, because E. is allergic to cats. Fair enough. So she invited me to dinner at her place, so that I could meet all the babies (three in total, although Lulu is a toddler by now -and yes, her name is actually Lulu). Dinner has since changed into tea, and last I heard tea had morphed into "soup." Yes, soup. No, I don't know why.
To say that the timing on this is inconvenient would be understating it. I'm having people for Hallowe'en, my place is a mess, and I haven't put up decorations yet nor bought a pumpkin. I also haven't bought Hallowe'en candy. Originally I was going to do that after work today, but those plans are FUBAR. Unfortunately, there is no way of getting out of this gracefully. I haven't seen E & T in something like two years. Not since E's wedding. So I'm kind of overdue, here.
Then Sunday I have NaNoWriMo *and* I have to vote in the stupid municipal election, for which I don't want to vote for ANY of the candidates. Feh. I am getting tired of spoiling my ballots for all these elections, but I shall continue to do so until they come up with a party/candidate that I can support in good conscience. I refuse not to vote: it's my right and my civic duty to do so. I just wish I felt better about the process.
Busy busy busy.

Yeah... the scheduling definitely could be better.
