There are many things I struggle with, living here, but the changing of the seasons is something I think I will definitely enjoy. We have filled our calendar with lots of fall plans!

This Friday we're going to Blair's parents' again for dinner, and afterward we're going to a haunted house there in Sparta. It's an actual haunted place that they make into a walk-through for Halloween every year. Saturday when I get off work, we're going to go tear it up at Spirit Halloween.

There's a vampire-themed play that we and a few of Blair's friends have tickets for next weekend, and then the Sunday after that we're going out with her mom, grandma and sister to a big farm/orchard to pick apples, select some pumpkins from their pumpkin patch, go on a hayride, and enjoy everything else the orchard has to offer.

I'm pretty excited. Definitely, getting to enjoy Halloween is going to put me in a good mood, and hopefully also in a mood to keep up with these [community profile] ficortreat drabbles. (Which, by the way, my door is here if you're interested in anything I'm offering.)

Fic-or-Treat!

Light is on for: Anybody!

What's in the Bowl? Drabbles (could be a double or triple depending on inspo but won't exceed 300 words), recipes, or, why not, dog or cat pics (will likely be my own pets or pets I know personally).

Let Me Know: A) Which sort of treat you would like, B) A prompt/theme/ect for drabbles, C) What sort of recipes you would be into.

Other info: I will write for Star Wars, Star Trek (AOS/Kelvin timeline), Marvel, Luck in the Shadows, Temeraire, The Boys (excluding Gen V, sorry!). I'll also write OCs within these worlds, or completely original ideas if you've got 'em! I'll write all ratings, just let me know what flavor you're into.

It's possible not all of these will get done in a timely fashion, but I promise to try my best.

Last night we were able to get out and see Good Boy! I love movie dates and I've been really wanting to see this one. If you haven't heard of this, it's a horror movie from the point of view of the dog. It's a wonderful idea, a fun concept, and the dog was a masterful animal actor. It was a little cheesy though, not very spooky, and had to rely on pretty bad CGI, which was unfortunate. I still really enjoyed it, and would love to explore the concept again in the future.

We got a new couch. A faux leather sectional that arrived today. It's very comfortable and very soft and cushy, and I love the junction where both parts meet: this will be my new writing/laptop spot for sure. Blair is currently stretched out beside me taking a post-work nap on her new sofa. She's twitching and kicking. It's very cute.

I know we're going to get takeout tonight for dinner and eat it while watching tv on our new furniture, so that'll be nice.

Currently reading Bored Gay Werewolf by Tony Santorella, and loving it.

Wowie wow. My four-day weekend went by SUPER fast!

Thursday I ran some errands, cleaned the apartment, and made a big spaghetti dinner.

Friday, after Blair got done with work, we went to her parents' place and had dinner and sat around a bonfire for hours and hours (I am not a bonfire person so I was very bored with this after awhile, but the rest of it was nice).

Saturday, we slept in late, cuddled and talked and napped in bed until lunch time, when we walked around the corner to try a little hole in the wall place called Kramer's (it was just okay). Then we headed out of town to Rochester, which is like an hour and twenty minutes away, because it's where the nearest Trader Joe's is. First we hit downtown, poked around in some shops, got gelato, walked through a little street festival they were having, and then found Trader Joe's and accumulated quite the haul. We got Greek food on the way home for dinner, and then came home and unpacked all our loot and put it all away. Watched a few episodes of Clone Wars before bed.

Today, we slept in again. While Blair studied a bit for a test she's got tomorrow, I went out to the store to get some DnD snacks. Everyone came over for an in-person session, we had pizza and garlic knots, and it was as always a lovely time. When the rest of our group left, Blair and I got into a wrestling match that lasted almost an hour, and at one point I flipped her so hard we both fell off the bed and nearly knocked everything off her book shelf.

I'm showered and on the sofa trying to get a few things done before bed. I do not want to return to work tomorrow, especially since a) My boss texted me twice over the weekend asking me to cover, and while I answered "no, sorry" the first time, I straight up ignored the second one, b) I got a parking ticket back on Wednesday, even though I confirmed with him that my parking pass is now active and that I am allowed to park in the permit-only structure, but apparently despite his confident "yes it's fine," it was not fine, and now I have to present the ticket to him tomorrow, and c) after both snubbing his text and presenting him with my parking ticket, I must also give him a note detailing the days I will need off in late December/early January so that I can visit my parents for New Years. I know it's only September, but I've checked the schedule and I'm already getting booked as far out as mid-December. When I got hired, the Employee Handbook said that due to how crowded we are around the holidays, requests for time off around Christmas and New Years are usually not granted, but the day I got hired I brought that up, and he said if I already have plans it'll be fine. So I hope it is fine.

I hope it is fine.
