Thanks UW! Had a nice evening with my parents yesterday but man o man I was ready to make them pull the car over and them sit in the back and let me drive.
I'll get to see great-grandma for a few today, then a meeting with the realtor to hopefully get grandpas house on the market.
I feel bad for my mom we knew some family took some furniture but I guess my parents went by the house and it looks like it was ransacked and the brothers admit it was them I'm afraid to see the house. I was picturing the same house we locked up 6 months ago minus a few pieces.
Happy Halloween! Minion seahawks hat is about as good as this costume is gonna get today.
Thank you everyone for the vibes and everything yesterday! I am totally fine, I had never met this specific aunt of H's. But right after we found out about her passing, H's youngest brother ended up in the hospital. Appendicitis. He had surgery last night and will be fine.
In other news I started buying Xmas presents, and think I have my game plan for my SS figured out. YAY!

Morning! I am going to the doc today to see what's going on with my back. Too much pain and I can't deal anymore. Other then that, I am taking the boys trick or treating tonight around my parents neighborhood, so there is no one to pass out candy at our house. I hope we don't get egged.
@uwhuskygirl I got 66 minutes and hero's girlfriend. However, I contend I would last longer because my gut response to most stuff wasn't a choice Nobody at work gets my costume because I wasn't going to spend the hour + to do the makeup this morning and it doesn't make as much sense without it. Oh well. I'm not thrilled with how my costume turned out but again *shrug*. I lost enthusiasm for it so didn't do all the details originally planned. We're having a little lunch party at work today with popcorn, hot dogs, and cider. H and I are going to a small party tonight and then a Dia de los muertos party at my sister's house tomorrow. Looking like Sunday we'll go to breakfast with the ILs to celebrate H's birthday.
I'll edit in a few to PIP my work version of costume.
Wouldn't let me edit my original post to PIP. Not loving the shorts but didn't have time to sew the skirt and I need to hem the sleeves on the janky jacket. (I'll share the full make-up version later after I do it)

Hello everyone! Sorry for ditchin' ya'll during my time off, but logging into my laptop at home is a PITA. Allegedly next year is the year I'm getting a smartphone, according to my H. We'll see, but if I do, I'll get the app and be GBCN available 24/7
I took the test, and I will survive 66 minutes and am the Hero's SO.
I'm back at work for a day before the weekend, so it will be an easier transition to going back to the work routine. I got a Sriracha T-shirt and a green party hat, and am Sriracha. I've had a few people not know what I am (who doesn't know what Sriracha is?!?!), but most people think it's cute/creative/whatever. No plans for tonight, but there might be some last minute something-or-other.
I've had a great last two weeks. MIL visit was difficult in some ways. Our place is not big enough for a guest to stay longer than two nights. MIL is messy and not good at sharing space. And there were weird personality issues that arose, I think from her being a cat person and us being dog people, it's hard to describe, but I think that is the root cause. But I only had to deal with that for a week. This week was nice and relaxing. I got my hair all did, so no grays (for the next 4-6 weeks)! I had a dentist appointment, and no cavities! Yesterday H and I went to a reading with Patrick Rothfuss, and it was hilarious. And there was lots of eating out and drinky-drinks. So I'm back on the MFP wagon, and working out

Morning. I'm at work in my Rapunzel costume. Tricker Treating with the LO tonight. I hope this rain lets up some tonight or we are going to be dreanched.
I applied for Bellevue College this morning. I plan to start my journey to earn a Business Intellegence Analyst certificate in hopes I have an easier time getting over to what I really want to do.
That's about it for me. Halloween makes me happy so I am really hoping people aren't grumpy today to bring me down.

We're getting on the ferry right now to go see ilovebed for some estate planning fun! Cili is in her bear suit, but this was her costume at my office's party yesterday.
We're staying home tonight to hand out candy, assuming we have any trick-or-treaters. It's a new neighborhood AND it's pouring, so who knows what the turnout will be like.
We are going to do a little Tot, then hopefully make it back home before anything starts around our house so we can hand out whatever gross candy I don't like

Today is Tman's last day at his current school. I took pizza and cupcakes in for lunch time. And I'll go back and pick him up in a few minutes. I guess I could have taken him home with me then, but I wanted him to finish out the day. I know they were still going to be doing some math and science. I got his report card for Q1 today and he had an overall average of 95% for the quarter. He had a really rough start with the increased work load that 4th grade brought, but he definietly finished out his quarter in stellar fashion! I hope that some of the momentum will carry on over into his new school, but I kind of anticipate a grade tank during the transition time. We will see how it goes. I want to give him a lot of room to settle in, so I'm lowering my typically really high expectations.
I have been nervous about my part time job for a while thinking that they were going to decide that they don't really need me or that the silly mistakes that I make on occasion are more of a big deal than silly. Today (I'm not in the office), I got an email asking if I would be willing to work MORE hours temporarily. So, that's a huge relief.
I also got a call that Tman was the #1 popcorn seller in the district! He will get his name on a plaque.
I had coffee with a friend this morning and that was really nice. She helped me with some struggles I have been dealing with and mom guilt.
Tonight, we are going to trick or treat, and I really hope the rain holds off. I will be grouchy and may just follow Tman around in the car.
Tomorrow = Space Needle for brunch
Sunday-Tuesday = we are headed to Portland to get a little breather.
The cough is still lingering and giving me a head ache, but I feel good otherwise.
