October is almost over and I really have no idea where it went. I can't even remember what I've been doing for a whole month to have passed by. Really, I haven't done much.
Two Sunday evenings ago, we were at Aaron and Kendra's for potluck. We have a really good potluck group. We are diverse enough that we have very good discussions. Which I love. And then at one point two-year-old Gabe brought a spider to show his dad. He had it pinched between his fingers and then let it drop on the ground. It was still alive. I shrieked. It was a while before I put my feet back on the ground. I do not appreciate spider season.
Speaking of which. One found its way into my car and made its appearance while I was driving down the interstate. I prayed my way home. It truly is a miracle that I did not drive off the road. I just stared at the road, bit my tongue to keep my mind off the spider, and prayed that I wouldn't see it until I got safely home. I barely breathed that last two miles of road. I was so tense, my muscles were sore for days afterword.
That is a phobia.
And if I am ever found dead, crashed in my car on the side of the road with no explanation. That is why.
A couple Friday nights ago, a few girls came over to ask questions about my job. They were interested in the field and volunteering opportunities. It was fun. I love to talk about my job, because I love it. Normally I try to keep my mouth shut, but I finally had any excuse to talk all I wanted. :)
Saturday, we worked outside despite the drizzly weather. We burned off the garden, cleaned up the grill, and cleaned out the garage. Then I cleaned the whole house. :) I love productive days. I had so much more energy than I normally do.
Saturday night, the song leaders from Washington sang at the Eureka nursing home benefit dinner. I got to tag along. I used to waitress the tables at it every year. I'm so glad I don't have to any more. :)
My Monday evenings have been filled with practices for the Messiah. :) It's so much fun to sing but so ridiculously hard. It's been so long since I've had to sight read and count to sing a song, I am badly out of practice.
So, yes, there has been things going on, but my calendar is strangely blank. It's probably good because the holiday craze will be on me before I can blink.
I probably should be using this time to work ahead on something... but the couch is just too nice. :)
