Happy Halloween

Today is Halloween-Ophelia's official holiday. Since she is all black (except for the small patches where she has licked off her hair), she is our Halloween kitty. Today she is treated like royalty, which I suppose is like most other days. Maybe she'll get some extra rubs from us.
I also need to recognize the "Halloweenie Queenie"-my mother. This is her favorite holiday! To honor my mom, I will be wearing the costume she made for me 10 years ago. I will be a Kangaroo. Admittedly, the costume doesn't look as cute as it did 10 years ago. Mainly because it is a little bit tighter.
P.S. I got my flu shot today. This is your Public Service Announcement to do the same.

One foot in front of the other

For some reason, I just can't manage to move my feet correctly. As I walked into the office today, only a few feet away from my car, my foot slipped and I ended up on the ground.
Because I couldn't just fall, my DDP exploded in my bag of lunches. I went to reach for it and move it out of the way like a live grenade. I didn't move it out of the way enough. The DDP spewed at me like a broken hose.
I had to carry it in to the building still dripping. Luckily the injuries are minor-just a scraped up palm and bruised foot. At least I didn't break my glasses or split my pants. That would have been much worse.
