anagramofbrat: (mass autumn)
Not too much afoot right now, just the work, home, catfuckery, husbandfuckery (giggity) sleep, wake up rinse lather repeat cycle. I'm still in kind of a fog since Saturday night's big excitement so I haven't picked up anything new projectwise that I could squee about. I mean I have Things on the Burner I could pick up and work on, I just... Haven't. Still too burnt, I think. Today's the first day where I didn't wake up with everything hurting.

Other than the "Wellp, now what?" fog though, I guess the state of the Andee is reasonably okay. Money is still stupid, the job is the job, and I'm still wasting entirely too much time online and on minecraft and my house is an unholy mess but I don't have the spoons to CLEAN ALL THE THINGS, although the extra fire lit under my ass on Sunday at least got the living room presentable so there's that.

OH Speaking of Sunday! So Drew and I were in Yankee Candle picking up wedding presents for his cousin for next weekend (we have to drive all the way to MAINE oh god shoot me now) and I get a phone call from Nuke being all like "HEY I'm in Springfield and I wanna see you, how far away are you?" Eeep! so after tearing through Yankee Candle's long ass checkout line, going home and frantically picking up the disaster pit that was our first floor after several weeks of minecraft costume construction, Nuke showed up, admired our fuzzy beasts (she was especially taken with Ash, which is impressive because she hates cats, but he is the Most Majestic of idiots so...) and then we went down to Northampton where she treated us to Local Burger and we caught up. But yeah it was a good low-key visit and I was really pyched she came to visit, since the fam visiting me up here is a rare thing. Pity she couldn't have come three weeks later when the leaves would be in full on gorgeous. But Things are Afoot, so it may not be her last visit. I did tell her to give us a bit more than half an hour for notice next time though, lol.

Things I am looking forward to right now: Actually working on said back burner projects. The major Halloween bash planned in honor of the Atramors coming back east for a visit. Ghoulesque and it being the first show I will be Official Head Stage Kitten (did I post about that? Yeah, that's happening.) The usual October stuff, because YAY October approacheth verily! Spirit of Halloween is open finally, JoAnns has seventeen types of fabric with spiderweb prints, and walmart has 99 cent cream makeup again. (Target has yet to join the Halloween bandwagon which is frustrating because I really want a pair of these and don't want to order them online for whatever reason.) This of course means my birthday is on the horizon, as is my wedding anniversary and of course the Orange and Black holiday of Wonder. There's been a fair amount of shopping for Saturday's shenanigans while humming "Its the most wonderful tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime of the year" to myself. But yeah, even though Grown Up Problems remain problematic, the chill in the air and the crackle of energy and drunken revelry that signals the return of students to the area has been doing wonders for my mood and energy level. Fall is my season and I am happy it is pretty much here.

* being deliberately cryptic here.
** Yes it's Minecraft but considering how involved these building projects in-game get, I might as well treat them like a Project.
