Last Day

As I said last night, this post will be coming early. I still have to go hem my kid's costume because I bought it several sizes too big, thanks to a misleading review. It fits fine in the waist and stuff, especially because I pad it out with the belly (he's going to be Mario), but the length is waaaaaaaaay too long. So I'm just going to safety pin the bottoms, because I'm too fucking lazy to do an actual hem. And I don't have the right color thread.

My side is feeling somewhat better, thanks to Ibuprofen, so maybe it was just something I pulled.

I just worked myself into a depression right now, so that's fun. I called the collection agency today to arrange payments for the hospital bills. While the people were actually very nice, I won't know until tomorrow or Friday if they'll accept what I'm offering to pay. All of the laws that my friend pulled up (thanks, Kim!) don't apply to us because we're not residents of California. However, I may be missing something, so I might speak to a lawyer friend about it if they don't accept my payments.

While I was typing the above paragraph, my friend called and made me feel better about things. So, long term depression averted.

Today concludes my NaBloWriMo participation. I'm glad it's over with, but I'm glad it also stirred up my love of writing again. I did learn that I cannot blog every day. That's just not me. But I feel that I can muster up posts here and there without it throwing me into panic mode about "ohmygodwhatshouldiwriteihavenoideas!". I also learned that I should just let the ideas come to me as needed, without forcing, because that makes my writer's block a million times worse.

So with this, I sign off my month of writing with this video. This holiday isn't complete without watching it. Happy Halloween!
