more garage cleaning
more leaf raking

Brownie over there would like to tell you that I did indeed get costumes done. We tromped through town, me in a sweatshirt, he in fleece fur, cozy and warm. Friday I hit 20,000 on my pedomenter.

I spent a good portion of yesterday raking and mulching. That's my story anyway - to the untrained eye it might have appeared I was having way too much fun driving the tractor all over the yard. Serious business it is, corralling leaves then shooting them just where they need to be. I have a small bag of bulbs to plant still, and then the yard is put to bed for the winter.

We had snow Tuesday night. I opened the garage to go pick my Audio Tech Tori up from rehearsal (H.S. Musical version of Beauty and the Beast) and everything was white. While my normal reaction to the first snowfall has always been a little squeal of childish delight, I must confess that Tuesday night I cursed. Wednesday morning when it was mostly gone, I was a little sad. We'll consider that a rehearsal too, with opening day (night?) several weeks off. It was the kick in the pants I needed though, to get the rest of my list crossed off. The garage is clean, the yard is clean, the furniture is away, oil tank will be filled tomorrow. The End.

This week promises busy again. Rehearsals every night, with the opening Thursday, playing 4 shows through Saturday, then set breakdown Saturday night and (no doubt) emotional breakdown Sunday. Ah, to be a hormonal teenager again. No thanks. Simon goes to the orthodontist this week, Daniel needs a haircut and a booster shot. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and five days off in a row. Black Friday shopping? Have fun; I'll spend it tucked up tight in my beddy-bye.
