Ugh.

A lot going on. All of us have been sick. Twice. Terrible. Sickliest October on record. We didn't bother to go to the doctor to see if we had h1n1 or any of that nonsense. Wasn't worth the copay for them to not do anything for us, so we just didn't bother.

We continue to be broke, although D did get a short term/high pay project that should take some pressure off, at least temporarily, so that's cool.

Jilly's birthday party is this weekend. I can't even begin to fathom how insanely I'm going to have to clean my house. We're not even doing a super big thing--only about 15-20 people, but still. It's kind of a big deal.

I feel like Jilly is getting bigger every day, and I just love her to pieces.

Halloween was a bust for a thousand reasons.

We were supposed to go down to the city for a big party, and we were supposed to do these fancy costumes, but the person who's friends' house we were supposed to go to didn't come through on his costumes or D's, and his car broke down to boot, so that whole thing was out the windown. Then we got sick, and I couldn't finish sewing ours. Then, I bought Jilly a tutu and figured I'd just dress her up like that, but then someone got murdered in the basement apartment nextdoor on Halloween, so...umm...yeah. That kind of ruined the holiday.

Yeah. Shot twice in the next door apartment.

No one was home in my building. D was at CLE. I was at the grocery store with Jilly and Bill. I got home to find every imaginable emergency vehicle around my house. It was a nightmare. Seriously, the chick who rents the apartment called the police at 3:15, and I got home at 3:30. Awesome. Anyhow, my entire house, and my yard, which we share with that building, were all taped off with crime scene tape. I literally couldn't leave my house without talking to the cops, the news, and a CSI team, so we kind of decided to lay low.

As to the whole murder thing, I didn't know him, so I'm not upset on the personal front,and since it was almost certainly an inside job, I'm not really worried or afraid for myself or my family since I don't believe we've exactly got it coming if you know what I mean. It wasn't random violence, so I'm not too worried basically.

That being said, I was still pretty shaken up about it though for obvious reasons.

So...yeah. That's my update.

I'm going to try to post more.

I keep saying that, but I do meant it. God knows I spend enough time doing NOTHING on the internet. Maybe it would be more compelling if more people did it, but people in general haven't been updating much, and the community has been so quiet, it's kind of a bummer, especially because I could really use soemthimg positive like that.

Anyhow, with that, I'm off to sleep.

By the way, have I mentioned that I have off tomorrow? I am so loving that.

I'm going to run on the treadmill, play with Jilly, and clean. Maybe I'll even update. = P
