Happy Hallowe'en!
Oct. 31st, 2007 11:08 pmFunny how, even though I'm technically on vacation and am not working, my days are still full. Granted, a couple of them have involved several episodes of Stargate and MacGuyver, but for the most part I've been running around doing much-needed errands and suchlike. I'm rather hoping that next week turns out to be less busy, as I haven't even remotely gotten around to cleaning yet, which is one of my Major Goals for this vacation.
Did Hallowe'en for the third year in a row with Jan and t!, which was much fun, except that poor![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ai731 has a really bad cold/sinus thing and seemed absolutely miserable, which is no fun a all for her. This year instead of distributing candy we made a point of giving out homemade gingerbread cookies. I bought some candy as a standby, and the cookies had about an 85% success rate, which is pretty good all told. The few kids who refused the cookies gave us very bemused (and sometimes disgusted) looks, as though to say: "It's Hallowe'en! We're here for candy. Don't you know anything?" It was amusing, anyway.
Tomorrow is the first day of NaNoWriMo, during which I expect to get very little written, unlike last year's 10,000 word display of insanity. I am getting a haircut in the morning, then seeing a movie with my mother, and then meeting up with the Capricornucopia crew for some more playwriting goodness. If I write 1,500 words of my novel, I will consider it a successful day for NaNo.
Eventually I will get back online, I promise. I know I've been MIA for, gosh, weeks really. Possibly months. My non-internet life has become very very full and very very busy, and by the time I get home and switch on the computer I have just about enough energy to read LJ and my webcomics and then hit the proverbial hay. With luck, once I've caught up on my sleep and run all the errands I've been putting off for two months, I will have more time and mental energy to catch up with all my internet friends, whom I've missed very much.
Happy Hallowe'en, everyone!
