Confession Time! ((ABSOLUTELY NO JUDGEMENT))

We don't do Halloween. It just doesn't seem very British. I think I would take the kids to some kind of organised event, but no way would we trick or treat. Luckily we live down a dead end lane on the outskirts of a rural village with street lights, so nobody has ever bothered us.
But it does just so happen to be Andrew's nursery day and they are having a little party and dressing up. I hope he has fun! I'm sure he'll be happy so long as there's food involved (boy after my own heart).
Yeah, it's funny because all the shops are desperately trying to get people to get into Halloween and BUY BUY BUY! Every year the majority of adults in England just give a collective middle-finger and won't take the bait.
I wish America would get on board with this mentality. There's been Christmas trees, etc, in the stores for weeks already.0 -
I gave Andrew another ridiculous haircut! I'm no hairdresser, but I know how you're supposed to cut a fringe. Unfortunately Andrew doesn't sit still long enough to allow for that, so I end up cutting straight across, once again achieving the dumb and dumber look. It's a bit shorter than I meant! But I won't be able to do it for a few weeks, and hopefully he will look his usual charming self by Christmas.
I almost choked on my yogurt.0 -

I know there are going to be doughnuts at a work meeting, and a potluck at bowling tonight. Son has a wrestling match, so I'll be running from work to wrestling to bowling. I really think I'm just going to cross today off as a wash, and start again tomorrow.
Sounds like a lot of running, but can't go wrong with good food!0 -

but I 100% brought this illness on myself so I can’t exactly complain about it -_-
Russian Harry Potter and tea will have to do.
I’m sad that I’m missing the spookiest night of the year, though! (Or, as my friend calls it, “goth Christmas”.)
Hoping you're feeling better.0 -

I'm just glad that there hasn't been Christmas music on the store radios yet!0 -
Jeeze Mel, where does everyone store all the stuff?
I'm glad to say we didn't have 1 knock on our door.
and we watched The Rescuers 
Probably the least Halloween film ever. 1 -

Every one of these houses has both an attic and a garage. I guess that's where it all goes. This is an annual block party that lasts from 6-9 pm. They play Halloween music and have firepits lit. And there's actually a graveyard from the late 1700s in the middle of the neighborhood.
The funny thing is that these same people have the most traditional Christmas decorations ever. Candles in the windows, evergreen wreaths and garland and mostly no lights at all. A few of them decorate the evergreen trees in their yards.0 -

Oh, so they go crazy for Halloween but stay quite reserved for Christmas? That makes sense.0 -
I got to move into deload weights at the gym this morning. I didn't even realize how worn out I was until I did lighter weights, less reps. Man, did it feel good. I know I was dreading gym time and that should have been a clue.
Eight days until my competition.

2nd Confession: I am totally judging the guy who came here for a meeting, took off his backpack, plugged in his laptop, then put the backpack back on. Do you know how dumb you look sitting in an office chair wearing a backpack?
Why would he do that?
I don't know. My husband said, "is he a Jehovah's witness? The backpack is part of their uniform isn't it?"
I think Mormon missionary would be more likely.

(On a semi-related note, my host family’s doorbell plays “jingle bells” and for the first two weeks I couldn’t figure out why I had Christmas carols stuck in my head...)

I made a doctor’s appointment! In Russian!
Wooo, basic competence as an adult human being, SET THAT BAR.
I’m going to look ridiculous because I’m not even that sick but the school is making me5 -

I will take that as basic competence. Feel better soon.1 -
Wow Mel, that is some impressive Halloween dedication.
Well done on the Dr app @SoulOfRusalka. I avoided that while abroad just for fear of getting tongue tied. Took me a month to figure out how the laundry worked in my Austrian youth hostel! (Austrian German is NOT the same as German German.) But at least mobile phones have moved on sufficiently you've always got Google translate in your corner (blasphemy for a language graduate, I know).
I have finished all my Christmas shopping. I just need to do some wrapping and I'm done! Never usually this organised but I know full well once baby is here, nothing will get done.4 -
One last thing - 37 weeks today. Officially term and no preemie for me! Now if we could avoid any onset of labour for two weeks and one day, that would be dandy.7

i just ate about 20 of them vitamin gummies. should of had some actual sweets, least they would have tasted nice.0

I have to admit I am glad I didn't hear Pumpkin Head Harvey.

I think the doctor’s office thought I was pregnant. Hilarious for a number of reasons, not least that in Russia you can’t just explain to anyone that you’re gay as a party.
In better news I actually ate breakfast today. Amazing. More miracles to follow.

At least you went. Thank you.2 -
Underground utilities are great until repairs and maintenance requires blocking off four rows of parking. And the only reason I know why the rows are blocked is that I can see them and the utilities people just pulled up.
I nearly drove my truck through their caution tape this morning. We need more lights in that lot.1 -

Jesus, I wouldn't even tell your host mum that.
Yay for eating breakfast though! And I'm glad you went to the doctors. Did you get any answers or help?1 -

Oh crips, the say this starts, I will complain until its OVER. I hate that they shove Christmas down your throat everywhere you go for a month or more!0 -
