totchipandaOG Scream was FANTASTIC, it hits a little different on a big screen, and the audience was super responsive. There was lots of yelling and laughter and it was a pretty full house. We had so much fun.
Friday I got home and the power was out. Turns out that the guys doing the alley work hit a pole not terribly far from where I am in the complex. My collection of candles finally came in handy! For all the good it did, which wasn't a ton... One candle burned brightly, the other two struggled, and they were all scented which played havoc on my sinuses.
Woke up at 12:45 ish and the power was back on, plus my phone had died. When I woke up again around 7-something, my friends were no longer leaving town as Nicole was very ill, so I didn't need to come puppy sit. I spent the day in bed not feeling ultra great, watching drag race and The Summer I Turned Pretty, and I got some news* that made me very emotional and NO ONE WAS AROUND TO COMMISERATE. Set off the fire alarm making cheese toast, and otherwise just rotted.
IT WAS THE DUMBEST THING EVER TO BE EMOTIONAL ABOUT. I understand that. I can't help my feelings, only how I manage them. My actor crush of the last 4.5 years, his wife posted her baby bump. I'm happy for them, I am, and I don't understand why I feel so sad about it at the same time. He was on my phone background, and I changed it right away to a cute pumpkin art. I'll get over it and be able to enjoy his work again with a different attitude, but right now I'm sad.
Sunday was more of the same, blasting through the show and finishing up my knitting project. Later, just as I was about to get up and make dinner, friends texted that hey, if you want dinner, come by around 7ish... So M and I paused our show (since I'd caught up to her) and headed out for some yummy food and puppy cuddles.
Yesterday was Thanksgiving day so I was home. I started a new knitting project (very slowly), and took a nap. I waited until M was home to finish our show and got to bed VERY late, but it was worth it. It was really good for a show that started out like a cheesy teen romance! (I mean, its still a cheesy teen romance, but I was so invested by the end of it that the emotional payout was, for me, really good.)
My apartment is being invaded by box elder bugs. I don't know from WHERE. I have found 3 or 4 at this point, although they may have been the same two. I know they are harmless and do literally nothing, they are finding a warm place to hide out for winter, but yesterday as I was rolling around in bed in the morning I felt something on my back, reached back and was surprised to find a significant lump in my shirt and sure enough, the little fucker violated the house rules by crawling directly on me. They will be eliminated with extreme prejudice from now on. Calcifer pulled one out of the window on Sunday but watching her interact with the one I found last night, I'm not convinced either cat did anything about it. They are good with spiders and centipedes, but other insects tend to be thoroughly inspected and tortured a bit. So, two confirmed bodies.
