A year and a day.

Hello. I'm so tired from yesterday's One-Year Anniversary; I'm not sure what to talk about today. Plus, I still have this cold to contend with. Traffic was so heavy on the way in yesterday and today; I was on the bus for over an hour -- both days! Much of that time was spent standing still. However, I have to say that the bus was so comfortable I really didn't mind. The driver had the temperature just right, almost like a cocoon. An hour and a half of my evening was devoted to getting my record player to play with out the proper receiver inputs. I failed. Sometimes things are just harder than they need to be - you can quote me on that. My Mom in Ohio hardly got any trick-or-treaters last night. I have to say -- she sounded like she was in shock. I'm guessing that there's a tendency to keep the kids away from strangers and their candy in these uncertain times.

I just tried to get back to my apartment without getting egged, which, I'm happy to report, I did. The kids love to throw eggs around here, I just don't get it. I hate Halloween. I saw a woman on the bus last night in red horns and a pitchfork. I wanted to say to her, "Hey sweets, pretty lame costume!" but that was something that just stayed in my mind - thank goodness. I can't believe I'm going to write this but here it goes - Speaking of stuff that I only say in my mind, whenever a lovely woman enters my line of sight -- I shouldn't write this. Oh screw it. Sometimes, okay, everytime a lovely woman enters my line of sight, I say something to myself like, "Ooh la la" or "Ooh -- mama sita." Is that wrong? I live alone with two cats!! I can make comments in my mind, right? Like you're any better? OK, I think that's enough sharing for today. I'm going to go blow my nose.

God Bless America!
