Racing at the very last minute, I got my Halloween challenge story posted featuring John Dillinger's ghost haunting Melvin Purvis at Melrose House ( Read more... )

The new owners of our building (Geoff and his people) moved in today. (Julie, who is four days from being full-term in her pregnancy went into LABOR today!) We all helped out as much as we possibly could. They all seem like such nice people ( Read more... )

This was a busy day. I stayed home in the morning (still worn out from the flu) and rested. But I also got some work done. I set up the transfer of the Band website, for one thing. It's as good as done now.

I washed my hair and got dressed (I wore black slacks, a red sweater and black jacket) for the Board Meeting. Marilyn mistressmarilyn came home to get me a ( Read more... )

While I was out in the garage working on the garbage and recycling (which is happily DONE, and it's not even 5:00 p.m. yet), I found the final trap had yet another dead mouse! Marilyn mistressmarilyn and I had hoped we were done with mice, and the boys (Colin and Henry) were no longer hanging around the back door that leads to the garage, so it seemed like the ( Read more... )

I forgot to mention that I ordered contact lenses today, via Lens.Com. It's quite a savings getting them there, rather than through America's Best, which is where I've been getting them for years ( Read more... )

I was planning to go in the office today, but instead stayed home and stayed DOWN yet again. (sigh) I'm really SICK of being sick. I just can't seem to shake this bug.

Another successful writing circle is over for this month. Sister Sue suzy_qp missed because she was sick (another bout of flu?), but Jodi, Angel and Dick were all there, along with Marilyn mistressmarilyn and me. We had hot dogs, chili and macaroni and cheese -- along with Halloween candy, piles of cookies, cake donuts and ice cream. All very yummy ( Read more... )

No, I DON'T have my story written for tonight. And I still need to clean house, too ( Read more... )

So I'd better get my ass busy and write my story today. Seriously. I do not want to be writing this thing tomorrow at the last minute!

Marilyn mistressmarilyn and I were at the office by 7:50 a.m. Amazingly enough, most people began to arrive by around 8:00 a.m., or shortly thereafter. It was a very busy day of packing up all over the office. (I was more than a little surprised Ron B. didn't show up to help. No problem, we had lots of help. But here's the thing: Don't tell me you're going to be ( Read more... )
