* I haven't been writing much about my life lately, because October is LIKE that. The rains have settled in, solving the fire/air quality situation. My lungs are still recovering, but noticeably improved. The Married Millennials have an out of town guest, which I piked up at the airport last weekend. Wednesday Head Millennial, Techie Millennial, and I took Visiting Millennial around on errands and then back to my place to hang out and finish decorating (except for pumpkin carving) and dinner. They stayed until 11ish. It was very cool.

Tavy made friends with the Visitor. Three people, one of them a Stranger plus all the moving around was very much too much for her, poor thing. Tavy had a wonderful time, but it was a little too much even for him. The Beasties had mostly calmed down by two AM and spent most of the night asleep.

The election links keep piling up and y'all know what my Halloween week is like. I will be focusing on getting election stuff up, which means the already wildly backlogged rest of the news is likely going to end up even more behind. I am sorry.

* There is nothing quite like waking to pain and nausea so bad one has the shakes.

* By Saturday I had recovered enough for a charity haunted house. It was a super long line, but they had a Goth Fire Dancer to entertain the line which was cool. They hadn't as many volunteers as before the pandemic, but it is still really worth it.
