I'm surprised they let someone stay all night.

Castle was good again tonight.

I am all Halloweened out!

Took kids to downtown trick or treat, got an entire pillow case worth of candy.

Came home and tried to trick or treat the neighborhood.... Immediate neighbors were awesome, further up the end of the street were nice. Next street end down (branching streets that dead end into a cliff - we live in a bowl) going up was fine, coming back down ever single house with the lights on, people refused to come to the door. Dogs barking, TV on and they couldn't even be bothered to come to the door say sorry to my kids and turn their light off. I was so pissed by the time we got to the end of the street I relented to going to the mall... which was ok, but we were late so half the places were out of candy and the other half told the kids to take handfuls.

Probably have three pillow cases worth. Neighbor two doors down handed out stuffed zip lock quart size bags full of stuff - toys and candy!!!

I handed out 2 glow stick packs to boys walking around while we were trick-or-treating (saw them headed towards our house), gave three to my kids, had three left in the 1 box I left in by the door while we were at the mall. If each kid took 1 I'd say we had 7 total and 3 were mine!

So embarrassed. Finally figured out what was wrong with my screen flickering all the time. Too much lint on the bottom of my mouse. Cleaned it off and all is well. Thank heavens I did it before I had to pay to have it fixed.

Yay! Poof fixed it! Don't get embarrassed, lint is attracted to electronics!

Night all. Tomorrow.

They encourage it. Less piddly work for the staff.

Good morning all.

Mornin', folks.

Good morning everybody! My Mom's vitals were almost normal last night. Unbelievable.

House smells like candy. I better give it to hubby to hide in his trunk until work runs out.

(he brings it to work, because it seems everything brought to work is eaten immediately)

Mom answered the phone.
All is well in the world

Tomorrow is Rusty's adoption anniversary
Since we don't know his age, that is what we use as his birthday.
Mom day, we will celebrate Wed.
He is getting a Mr Bill doll I got off sellout.
Plus I'll bring him to petco to pick something out.

Happy Birthday Rusty! You are such a good Mom dname!

edit: We didn't have a single kid to Trick or Treat. Good thing because Hubby has already eaten almost all of the candy.

I felt terrible, had one set of kids stop, but we didn't have the porch light on, just had normal inside lights on. We'd just gotten back from dinner so I didn't have anything to give out. Apologized, and then turned off all the lights on the main level.

Hoping the plumbers show up today. Soon. And can get it all completed!

Good morning. My sleeping habits are going to be disrupted for a while. Hard to sleep when they're tearing down the deck.

Yay! Plumbers are here and emptying the tank. New pump and control panel will be installed, and I will be a happy girl.

I cannot fathom the impetus to steal a sewer pump. It's inconthievable.

Someone goes around on garbage day and cuts the electrical cords off anything out for the garbage, like TV sets.
So if anyone wants the TV, they can't have it because the cord is gone.

That's copper mining.
Faster and more lucrative than fix/sell.

Our recycling center has a separate place for electronics. They sell the bulk to companies who leach the gold/silver/other precious metals out of them.

I'm betting these guys would get a lot more done if husband would stop standing around talking to them.

Turns out the pump was still there. They just stole the panel. What I'm guessing is that someone else in the neighborhood had theirs go bad, and helped themselves when the house went in to foreclosure. The panel is manufactured anymore, so getting a new one made would be 3 weeks and $1200.

I had a new pump and panel put in.

Can get laundry done and dishes and have a long shower! Weee!

Not bad. You?

Looks like we've got a bunch of happy sort of things going on this morning. That's always nice to see.

Halloween was pretty nice here. I don't ever get treaters, so I wandered to the very rich part of my neighborhood and looked at all the very nicely done up houses for a while. I also took some pictures that may or may not come out. I don't have a fancy camera. Maybe next year.

hmm.. I just heard someone was killed in a workplace accident at one of our mfg facilities.

Always distressing; how sad.


Afternoon, folks.

Were they making tiny glass balls?

I dearly hope not!

anyone need any Halloween candy???? I really miss Orc having an office to take this stuff to, so do the kids honestly... he used to take teh stuff no one likes so we could find the good bits easier.

Carrabba's for dinner. Later.
