Happy home-for-Friday to me! I had today off in order to speak at my 7th grade son's middle school career fair, but then after the week I was having, I needed yesterday off too, so I'm settling pretty well into my weekend about now :)
- Almost my whole costume has arrived! My son and I are going to Motor City ComicCon tomorrow. He is wearing the costume he made for Halloween - Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls, so I've ordered what I need to dress up as Mabel Pines from the same show. Hopefully, pictures to share with my post on Sunday.
- I've been thinking a lot about writing more - which reminded me of NaNoWriMo. A quick Google search shows me that it still is happening. Has anyone else tried to write a novel in a month? I think I joined twice. Never quite finished, but it was fun to make writing a solid part of my month when I was participating.
- I'm not going to say anything about the election. I'm still too devastated to give it much thought. Que sera, sera. But I'm not happy to know I share this world with so many idiots and assholes. Oops. Wasn't going to say anything. Moving on....
- Still going about my job search in spurts, bursts, and jolts. Got another message that a job I had applied for was just canceled. Yay. So I think I've applied to nine jobs this year. One (within my company) still shows as pending, but I never actually got any more response than an automated message, and there were two openings that have been filled. Six I got nice 'we're going with another candidate' on just application/resume review (no interviews). Two (including one with an interview scheduled) were subsequently canceled, or just no longer hiring at this time. Two of the nine were government-ish jobs, and I'll certainly shy away from those with so much change coming in the new year.
- I'm trying to start directing energies to holiday stuff! We've packed up most of the Halloween (just realized as I walked through a room that there's still a spider web on the chandelier that is most certainly fake). I've started the kids' advent calendars, and ordered a couple of gifts. Next up (maybe still this weekend?) will be starting on the inside home decorations. I still have lots of candles and decorations of that sort from my years as a PartyLite consultant.

I've done NaNoWriMo many times, but I've only really written every day twice. I fully intended to do so this month, but, oh well, life.
Trying not to think about the election...
I'm doing career day next Friday! Whew. Have fun at ComicCon!
