* The Goody table worked really well. I couldn't see the kids' costumes very well since they passed the window so fast, but I could hear them exclaiming over the candy. I kept having ro refil the bowls as assorted adults kept furtively raiding my table. I'm cool with that. Hospitality is the Point.
Sunday, I rested.
Monday was A Lot. When I went out to get my meds from pharmacy home delivery, I walked barefoot through broken glass. My right foots a bit cut up. someone broke a bottle out of recycling while i was asleep. Then there was phone bureaucracy, all of which ended up with me leaving messages, but I tried. During business hours even. Sigh.
I managed to get the Halloween specific exterior Gothmas stuff down by myself which is exhausting and a bit dangerous because i'm not supposed to be on ladders, but it needed doing. I dragged the cooler down and Squirrel got ice. My plan is to empty the freezer and fridge as much as I can before fridge gut comes. I'm a bit worried as I can't work out where the small cooler went, but big cooler is ready for action.

* The Goody table worked really well. I couldn't see the kids' costumes very well since they passed the window so fast, but I could hear them exclaiming over the candy. I kept having ro refil the bowls as assorted adults kept furtively raiding my table. I'm cool with that. Hospitality is the Point.
Sunday, I rested.
Monday was A Lot. When I went out to get my meds from pharmacy home delivery, I walked barefoot through broken glass. My right foots a bit cut up. someone broke a bottle out of recycling while i was asleep. Then there was phone bureaucracy, all of which ended up with me leaving messages, but I tried. During business hours even. Sigh.
I managed to get the Halloween specific exterior Gothmas stuff down by myself which is exhausting and a bit dangerous because i'm not supposed to be on ladders, but it needed doing. I dragged the cooler down and Squirrel got ice. My plan is to empty the freezer and fridge as much as I can before fridge gut comes. I'm a bit worried as I can't work out where the small cooler went, but big cooler is ready for action.
