I’m living in a snake pit. And none of the doors out seem to lead to anything better. I feel like all I can do is just wait it out. It’s not a good time to be in my head right now. Let’s just move along. I only tell you that so you’ll understand why I have weeks when I don’t seem to do much of anything.

I’m trying to move ahead on my “zen corner” project, that til now has just been a mess of photography/lighting stuff and electrical and internet cords and cables. These are the rice paper lamps from Ikea I’m considering. I feel sympatico with the short, squat one so that’s what I’m leaning towards.

I managed to get outside one afternoon for a little fresh air.

Halloween is a busy day at work. Students, clients and staff dress in costume, kids trick-or-treat in the administrative offices and classrooms and there’s a Halloween party in the afternoon. Co-workers and I dressed up as Goldilocks & The Three Bears. Aren’t we cute??

Halloween around the apartment.

And that is IT. I did have a low key dinner out one evening with friends. And today (Sunday) I’m just having a down day, no obligations, no time on my feet. My body is a little wrecked from a big work event yesterday and needs a day off. Hopefully the week ahead will be a little less stressful, and there’s the 3-day weekend light at the end of the tunnel this week, so that’s good. I need to start thinking about my trip to South Carolina for Thanksgiving, like how am I getting to the airport, who will take care of Janey, what will I pack, will my butt fit into an airplane seat, etc. But tomorrow’s another day.

Oh, I’ve also been doing What I Wore This Week videos on YouTube if you’re interested. I try to upload them on Saturday, but that hasn’t actually happened yet.

So long for now!
