First off, Happy Halloween! I hope the day is filled with all the thrills and candy you could want. OR that people leave you alone and you can go on your way without the bother if that’s you speed. Me, I like it fine, just don’t like when teenagers start knocking on my door way past my bedtime (and theirs) looking for candy. Bro, my lights are off. HA!
Secondly, yeah I know its Monday. Yesterday kind of got away from me. It was the first sunday in months that we weren’t camping and my routine was off. I didn’t really realize what the day was until the mr said something to me during our hike. My head also feels like it is only half screwed on and my thoughts are leaking, whatever that means, and so here we are on a Monday.
Anyway, the week was good. We did our last camp which was excellent and sad (because it was the last), but also kind of weird. Every year last camp ends with at least a snow flake if not full on snow but this year I hiked in shorts, sat far from the fire, and woke up sweating. Sure some people might think of that as a win but I was actually kind of pissed. I love snow camping.
After that it was back to business. I pretty much spent everyday at the studio. A couple more weeks of crazy making, then the markets and then I will slow down. But for now it is go time.
I also picked up the last summer farm share of the year (winter starts in a week or so), the mr and I cleaned the shit out of the basement (it only took 6 years), we tuned on the heat for a little bit cause we needed to check the new system out plus it actually did get pretty frekaing cold, and I harvested the last of my drying beans from the garden. All in all, pretty good.
Last night, after the mr and I went for a good hike, we took Erin and the kids to our downtown pumpkin display and walked around making all sorts of inappropriate jokes about the pumpkins (Coco was out of ear shot). It is crazy how old those littles are getting. Also crazy the shit that now comes out of their mouths. They are definitely not little anymore.
So today being Monday and all, I am going into the studio early and trying to get a good amount of glazing done before any people show up and annoy me. Then it is errands and other not fun activities (bills) but after that the mr ans I are going to take Coco and Judah out trick or treating. This I am looking forward to. If Coco is anything like he was last year, it will be a hoot. (If he doesn't like your candy choice he will let you know and might try to enter your house. HA!)
Have fun!
