I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing.
It's been a rough few days. On the one hand, I've been incredibly depressed this week. On the other hand, I've been off work since Wednesday and I've been doing a lot of fun things.
A while ago Kincaid's sent out gift cards as an advertisement, so on Wednesday my sister and I went there for dinner. It's a steak and seafood house in downtown St. Paul, and it's very nice. Also very expensive. The gift card helped, but it was still pricey. Great food, though. Everything had a uniquely yummy flavor.
Thursday I tried to go to my local NaNoWriMo kickoff party. I was a bit late, though, and by the time I got there, it was so crowded with happily chatting groups that I couldn't get into the room. I stood around awkwardly for a minute and then fled. Epic fail. Happily, instead of going home to cry I picked up my sister, and we drove out to Stillwater for a haunted tour of some underground caves. That was very cool, if a bit short, and full of creepy ghost stories.
Last night was Halloween. Originally I had plans to go to a party, but I hadn't heard a word about it from the hosts since the initial announcement two months ago. So I wrote it off until![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pkat called me from the party, but by then I was already handing out candy at my apartment and had made plans to go to a midnight NaNo write-in. My outline wasn't finished yet and I needed the extra work time. It still wasn't finished when it was time to go to the write-in, but at least had a beginning in mind. So I was off to Denny's at 11 PM to meet some other local Wrimos, and at midnight we were off. I got a good thousand words in by 1 AM.
Today I went back downtown to finish up the map of food locations for Anime Detour. It didn't take long, there were only a few blocks left and not much of interest on any of them. Then I fit some laundry in before heading off to another write-in, in Minneapolis this time. I met a few more people and got a couple thousand more words in. Unfortunately I won't be able to make very many more write-ins, but I'm off to a good start.
Tomorrow I'm going to Sever's Corn Maze. :) And Daylight Savings Time has officially ended. Boo.
