Oct. 31st, 2008 08:27 amI just thought I'd pop in to wish everyone a Happy Samhain to those who celebrate it, and a Happy Halloween to those who don't.
My Samhain is going to be crazy. I'm glad I arranged to take the day off. Before anything else, I have to finish up my story for the CBC Literary awards, which has to be postmarked no later than today.
I bought some very nice paper, and a very nice envelope. Those things help, as I learnt from my days marking papers. But then naturally my roommate's print cartridge is out of toner.
After that, there's preparation from trick-or-treaters -- anyone dressed as Sarah Palin gets double candy -- then ordinary daily life tasks, a get-together tonight at an indeterminate time. And somewhere at night tonight, I need to have the rit I've been planning for ages. I'll probably only sleep for a couple of hours, and do the rit in the early morning.
So it's going to be a very stressful Samhain.
