for the second year in a row i woke up sick on halloween. last year i was so sick i missed the dresden dolls show i'd been looking forward to for months. this year i wouldn't let it stop me. a short nap on the bathroom floor and i was feeling better.
and yet the pattern seems to be forming. two months ago i asked my boss to be put on the guest list for the doll's halloween show. two weeks ago i double checked and was assured that i was set, plus one. two hours before doors tonight he texted to let me know that he hadn't come through. so much for planning in advance. and gregor and i all dressed up with nowhere to go... (and he looked even better than i remembered in his same costume, only this time i matched.)
there is one tradition i won't mind repeating next year and thereafter. for the second year in a row, our night took a sudden turn for the best just past 2 a.m. last year it was white chocolate raspberries and stories about thrift store nursery paintings. tonight, unexpected games and ripped clothing. no matter how bad the day seems to be going, we seem to be able to turn it around.
and now i'm looking forward to another lazy day after.
