Man, October is shaping up to be a tremendously busy month. My wife and I switch rotations in the first of the month, which will allow our days off to fall on Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, which will be great. I haven't had a Christmas off in seven years, to the point that last year I found myself being quite a Scrooge. I hope that this will make things easier, but there's still a high likelihood that working in retail during the holidays will still get to me. Odds are good that you'll hear a lot more about that in months to come.

Our anniversary is on the sixth of October and once again, we'll likely have to celebrate it on a different day, we both work that night.  From there, it's gogogogogogogo until November. I'm trying desperately to finish my zombie book by Halloween so that I can stay in the spirit, and we're leaving for a week to visit a few potential sites in Oregon to move next year. After we get back, I work a rotation, then we have a couple of days to prep for the Brain Eaters party, then November is upon us.

We've slept a ridiculously wonky schedule this group of days off too, and I'm not sure why. Last night, we took a "Nap" around 7:30, woke up to the alarm, fell back asleep, at some point accidentally locked Ludo out of the bedroom, and eventually woke up at 10:00pm. We figured there wasn't any point in getting up, so I pottied the dogs, took a shower and went back to bed. Then we got up at 5am. It's been like this all week.

I had planned on working on my revisions to The Whispering Ferns today, but after realizing how much time I had before Halloween, I decided that I should dive back into the zombie wasteland of Graves, in an attempt to finish it before November. Besides, working on a lighthearted ghost story around Christmas sounds pretty good.

The Last Sentence -

The infected from the store have begun eating each other, and I have a front row seat.

Some company, hanging out on the couch.

Life -

Not a whole lot on this front. Started mowing the lawn, called it on account of rain. Started painting our vanity, called on account of the paint running out. Started dishes, finished that. Started some art, got bored.

I've been sleeping an incredibly erratic schedule lately. Linz has been working graves (Audit in the hotel verbage) and my daily schedule has been to sleep from around 5:30am to 7:30 when she gets home, then go back to sleep until around 9am. Then I take a nap around 3 until 5:30 or so... Shockingly, I don't really feel like I'm suffering from lack of sleep, but I have felt kind of....squiggy.

Yet another reason I'm glad Strontium doesn't have carpet - 2 very wet dogs.

Continued on editing, just a couple of chapters left before I'm ready to send this puppy off.
