kjpepperToday it's just me and sunny home - ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sydneycat has gone off to the wilds to have fun with the Knyght and the Paladin with special guest star Paladin's wife, and morlock is working.
I slept for almost 9 hours last night, only once interrupted by the boy cat expressing his displeasure at being shut into the bedroom. I usually wake up briefly around 6am on Saturday anyway since the farmers market folks are anything but quiet setting up, but this week I was struck by how dark it was still. Then I was like oh yeah, Mabon was 2 days ago. The days just get shorter and shorter from here. But still, wow, I wish I had a camera right then. From our windows we get a breathtaking view down Spring Street and on due east until you hit mountains. Which makes for inconveniently placed sunbeams later on in the morning but it meant that this morning I was treated to the sight of all of those distant hills being aflame with deep gold light accented with bright magenta clouds. Cause the sun had actually risen, it just had a little while before it made it over the mountains. Truly gorgeous, that. I'll see if I can get a picture next time.
I would like to take this opportunity to squee about something silly, namely that OMG teh Halloween crap is out already! *bounce* It took every shred of will I had not to walk out of CVS the other day with enough fiberglass pumpkin lamps for every single window in our apartment, which would have been uber silly seeing that only four out of the nine face the street. I am seriously on the lookout for one of those serrated pumpkin scrapers though - they definitely make the cleaning up of pumpkin guts easier when you're carving them. I have no idea what I'm doing for samhain/halloween/day of the dead this year. Hopefully something. Sunny at least will be making soul cakes, cause goddamn there are some nice crossroads around here.
Not really sure how to dispense with the weekend, other than knowing it shall involve some measure of housekeeping, either at home or at work. My office is a cesspit, but I don't really have time to straighten it up when other people are there. The other option is to potter around the house, do dishes, do some organizing and rearranging of my Room, and resist the temptation to order one of those foam memory mattress pads for my bed, or a hat stand/coat tree, or a working network card. Cursesundart and her figuring out we had enough to pay down my credit card bill. I think I'm just going to have to hand over the card just so I don't do something stupid with it. The other option is I can spend some time transcribing the bits of story I've been scribbling down on the bus... It's taking some shape now, which is cool... it's just kinda frustrating cause the only time I ever feel like working on it is on the bus in the mornings.
Drat, there are some videos that need returning.
Well, onwards.
