Night Circle

So, I'm laying in bed this afternoon, still kinda half-dozing since it's before 2pm and I don't need to get ready for work until 4:30, and suddenly in my head I hear a distinct male voice that I don't recognize say:

HEY!

forcing me to shoot straight up, wide awake, unable to go back to sleep.

I hate it when that happens.

Took out my old bathroom faucet and installed a new one. I did the lawn. I installed a latch on the basement door. I did three loads of laundry. I called NFCU about my rewards card and they will be sending me another vacuum, and this time, they will not leave it on the porch. I did homework. I fixed the loose carpet on the basement stairs. I de-molded the basement walls, and put frest caulk around the windows where needed in the house. I played wow. I cooked dinner. Almost all in that order.

And today was my day off.

HAHAHAHA!!!

BADRAP FTW!

Good thing I haven't shopped there in ages.  Still, it's time to fire off an email to these people.

I read this on Sunday when I got home, and LOLed.  ;)

The trickle of minutes I have left at the moment is not enough for a properly creative recap.  But here are a few pictures from my fantastic trip to New Orleans for Halloween.  It was spectacularly fun!

Gwen and I indulge in some picturesque posing

 

 
Me and a flickering candle await mayhem on the porch

 
Elegantly sinister Scott awaits mayhem in the doorway of the porch

 
Poised Janel awaits mayhem in the dining area

 
A few rounds of these for the last couple hours we were in NOLA.  Drunky pantses at the airport!

 
The Erin Rose pumpkin bids us a grinning good bye!
 

For those of you who actually like to read this stuff, here's another:

I'm not going to say much except that I'm fighting off a respiratory infection mere days before I leave for Mauritius. Have been taking loads of remedies and it seems to be working.

I'll share the Bloody Parchment link:

So the event went well and there was good attendance. The Horrorfest organisers were very happy with how things went and we'll be doing this again next year. I'll also be running a horror flash fiction competition.

Other than that, I'm just really tired. I've got loads of stuff to do and am way behind on some of the edits I need to get done. I understand why there's such a high burn-out for editors within the publishing industry.
