Happy Halloween! (cue spooky music) In honor of the day, I am wearing my red sequined devil ears. And a “spooky” t-shirt I got last year from Target. And tonight we are going to the Aeros game, where the first 3,000 people in the door get a free glow-in-the-dark hockey mask. I am going to be so disappointed if we are not among the first 3,000.
Last night was hectic. I had softball at 6 (a few solid hits, but right to outfielders, so still nothing doing there), then a Spaceweek wrap-up meeting (er, annoyance) at 7, then over to Debbie’s to carve my jack-o-lantern at 8:30. It’s a good thing Ii had an excuse to leave the Spaceweek meeting, otherwise I might have strangled someone. Poor Becca had to sit through it all because it was at her house; that’ll teach her to volunteer her house as a meeting place.
My jack-o-lantern, however, is very cool, and very sinister. Rawr!
I got home from pumpkin carving exhausted, as has been the theme ever since I got back from greece. I just can’t seem to get enough sleep, and am beginning to wonder if I really am coming down with something.Last night was a bad night, as my fatigue combined with a moment of obsessive-compulsiveness. Whew. I get in these moods where all of a sudden I become frustrated with any mess in my apartment. Last night when I got home, I couldn’t go to bed until I had cleaned up the pile of clothes in the middle of the floor, washed the pots in the sink, and put away some papers that have been sitting on my desk for weeks. So I stayed up even later, exacerbating my tiredness, all because the mess was making me antsy.
I am so weird.
In other news, Karen sent Becca a postcard from Pisa. It had, obviously, the leaning tower of Pisa on it, on top of which Karen had drawn a stick figure leaning over the edge and said “Karen pretending to be Sarah.” My love of climbing things and leaning over the edge lives on. Hurrah.
