Could've been worse

thebratqueenMy cats are playing hide and seek with each other. This is agressively adorable.
So yesterday had its ups and downs. On the up was the Halloween party I went to. I'd been worried that I wouldn't be able to make it at all what with being sick, but fortunately I had enough energy to get all dressed up (old tour guide outfit, which did in a pinch for "vampire") and even dance. Also my roasted pumpkin seeds and ghost chips were a hit, which makes the Italian in me very happy. My energy levels bottomed out at around 11:30 though so I went back home - enjoying a very atomospheric walk with the wind blowing and my wool cape swirling around me - and crashed like a crashing thing.
On the down was my car. After work (and pre-party) I went grocery shopping and when I got out of the store Serenity wouldn't start. A call to AAA and an hour's wait later and it was determined that my battery is basically pining for the fjords and needs to be replaced. It was able to hold a charge long enough to get me home, but I have to call AAA again to see about what needs to be done to put a new battery in.
So that was exhausting and a little frustrating, but on the up side at least it happened when I was parked in a well-populated parking lot (as opposed to the middle of where-the-fuck-am-I on the way back from bellydancing) and if I need another car my mom's is a short walking distance away.
Right now I'm relaxing on the couch and enjoying a proper cuppa before I deal with any of this.
