Nov. 2nd, 2013 10:15 pmThing 1: Today I've found myself wishing I was in Minneapolis, spending the afternoon and evening at the Minn-stf meeting & Halloween party that ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dreamshark, Richard, and thorintatge are hosting. There are more than the usual number of reasons for wanting to be there, but we don't yet have transporter booths or time travel, so I've spent the day at Toad Woods.
Thing 2 (related to Thing 1): My mood took a strong swing for the better thanks to a Sekrit Project I've finally started working on. Film at 11, for values of 11 that I expect to equal "before the end of the year." Fingers crossed! The important thing tonight is that I'm benefiting mightily from the work itself. Yes, it's fun to think of the delight that's likely to follow the unveiling, but tonight, it's purely privte pleasure. I'm totally luxuriating in that.
Thing 3: I'm celebrating a remarkable 3 consecutive months of living with a clean kitchen. ( kitchen and cleaning natter )
Thing 4:
This little critter was the only trick-or-treater to come calling Thursday night. I think it's a four-toed salamander, but am not certain. The four posterior toes seem to be pretty distinctive to the breed.
( I rang the doorbell, didn't I? )
Thing 85: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DON FITCH! Yes, I'm shouting. It's got to travel completely across the country, and we all know what his hearing is like.
Thing 6:This afternoon, I took advantage of the 60+-degree weather to rake leaves from my 275-foot driveway and cut back 25+ feet of blackberry canes to widen the access to the heating oil fill spout under the back deck.
Tomorrow's forecast predicts a high of 44. I might get out with my Black & Decker Alligator and take out a few of the most annoying weed trees. Then again, I might not.
Thing 73: See you on the Funway....
