merely talk

One of my supervisors is leaving the company. Today was my last meeting with her. It was a little sad. She's going to miss the kids, and I don't blame her. You grow attached to them so easily. As a goodbye gift and for "all our hard work" she gave me and the other two interventionists on this particular team Starbucks cards. Which is super sweet. Because everyone knows that if you're going to be working with kids on a daily basis, coffee is a necessity.

As I mentioned in my previous post my Halloween was really great. Sean and I headed out for a cheap vegetarian dinner and then headed over to this huge outdoor festival called the Parade of Lost Souls. There were so many people and many of them we're wearing elaborate costumes. There were lots of fun performers and fireworks and greatness. I really enjoyed myself and was pleasantly surprised. I honestly wasn't expecting much.

After that we came back to my house, met up with Anna and Amanda and chilled. During the chilling I had to come up with some sort of Halloween costume. Not easy. I'm such a bad procrastinator (or a good procrastinator I guess...) I left it to the last minute. The thing is I'm not the hugest fan of Halloween. I don't like dressing up all that much. And I think a lot of people my age use it as an excuse to over drink and do stupid and harmful things. But yeah, anyway costume. I did eventually come up with something.

Before we got to the party I was bitchy and tired. I had been up for ages and I wasn't even sure I wanted to go to this thing anymore. But once I was there I forgot all that. It was a total blast. So many people went all out on their costumes. One guy who I chatted with for awhile came as dirty laundry. He had cut a hole in the bottom of a laundry basket and he was wearing it around his torso. On his arm he had attached the lid of the laundry basket like a shield. On his head was a ABC box and affixed to the basket were various pieces of laundry. Including underwear. It was awesome. Pretty much everyone had gone to that extreme. I'm so glad I went, I had a lot of fun and it lifted the mood I've been in for the last little while. Well it did that night. It's back again.

Other than that not much is new. I'm working on some personal stuff so I hope everyone can excuse my bitchyness for a little while longer. I know it's asking a lot. But I think we're at the worst of it now and it's only going to get better. I hope at least.
