Maybe it is just me, but September? Really fucking sucked overall. While it began and ended with visits from two close friends, I spilled an enormous number of tears over various trials and tribulations. October seems to have some promise to be better, though.
Oct. 6: One year anniversary of my last day with my wretched former employer
Oct. 13: Steph is visiting
Oct. 18-21: My family will be in NYC to attend Brother-in-Law's wedding
Oct. 19: Two year blogiversary of CUSS!
Oct. 31: Halloween (Although I doubt that I can squeeze into my dirndl this year, I still look forward to the Festival of Candy. Of course, that is exactly why I can't fit into my dirndl anymore.)
If I'm lucky, I can squeeze in a trip to Pittsburgh to see my old friend J. (aka the Sauce). The book is due on Nov. 1, so it depends how the writing is going. I think I'm right on track, if not a bit ahead of schedule, so if she's free, that would be great. Now if the little rain cloud that hovered over me almost all September would dissipate, that would seal the deal.
Enjoy your October.

I love Halloween.
ReplyDeleteomg! has it been a year since you quit? that means i've been reading over a year.
ReplyDeleteseptember sucked ass for me too. 2 hospital admissions, 8 days total in the hospital. i was just discharged on 9/30 & am finally feeling a little better & almost like my normal self. (though the fact of my impending bill makes me feel more than queasy.) guess now would be an even better time to finally take my swimsuit brigade photo. ha!
can't wait to hear more about the manuscript! i realize it'll be a while before you hear word back on it, probably.
Take the family around the city to see the Fall Foliage. No need to drive to VT (too late anyway). Bike in Van Cortlandt Park, stroll in Prospect Park, check out where the ice age came to a grinding halt in Queens.
ReplyDeleteDon't like to leave Manhattan? Go to the Cloisters or of course,
Lots of info on NY Fall foliage on www.tripcart.com. Pittsburgh also, if you make it there.
Enjoy
