Made it home yesterday in record time. I got the kid up early because I knew we both would have stuff to do yesterday and being too far from home was not one of them. We were on the road by 5. Nice drive home. No traffic, the weather hadn't climbed to unbearable levels yet, and we were both awake. I should mention that all weekend the weather was hotter than hell. While we bitch and moan about how cold it is at home, some days I would rather have that than the 102+ we lived through over the weekend. It was just H. O. T. all weekend on us. Luckily we left early enough that it was essentially 68-72 the whole drive and we got home to 73. Perfect.

We made it home in five hours and thirty eight minutes. I wasn't speeding or driving crazy either. It was just nice and empty still.

On the way home we stopped and ran a couple of errands to get things out of the way. We both knew once we got home that would be it. Neither of us would be leaving again until we had to go somewhere important. We stopped at the Halloween store. I got my costume for the 5th. I will be going to the park as Snow White. I got a real licensed costume too, not one of these horrible knockoffs. One of my shorter friends - no there is no other nice way to say that - is going to go as one of my dwarves. He hasn't decided which one yet, but he promised he would be a dwarf for me. This is going to be insane. I can't wait three more weeks.

Got home a little after noon and we unpacked. Both of us were exhausted and we napped for a while. I slept from 1:30 - 3 and she slept until 5. Since she had to work at 7, she made herself some dinner and then headed out. I wasn't hungry and ended up not eating last night. I had enough food the last few days that it's okay.

I updated my pin board with new pins brought home. I have a problem. I am now up to 908 pins. I know. I am so almost out of room it's not even funny. I have decided that at 1000 I will start a new board. A thousand per board until I reach 10,000 then I will give up. Just to have 5 digits worth will be astounding.

Went to bed around 10. I have dinner plans tonight with a friend for her birthday and to give her gifts from the park. No one has sent me any work plans yet today and I am not going to be eager for them as I leave tomorrow for TN. I could use today as a light day. Time to take the kid to the train...
