5 Things make a Post, Thinkey.

1. Worked HHH (Havek's Haunted House, formerly the Beck Scare'um) and really enjoyed the interaction with people, both the crew of the house and the customers.   There were a couple changes this year that worked really well; the entry path was longer, so less out front crowd control was needed; there was a Scary Alley for people (children) who didn't want the full scare but still wanted scary things, and there was a place for donations to the food bank--and all went very well.  

2. Made a Snapping Pumpkin ala EvilMadScience which broke while at work.  Learned many interesting things.  Very fun project.

3. Work is very different, I am having some trouble adapting.  We'll see how it is long term.   There's not enough work this week, and my old (not my problem) department is struggling, but very quietly.

4. Diet is going well.  Some major adjustements--sleep, party avoidance, more exercise needed.  But weight is being lost, and I am not feeling bad.

5. Need to figure out socialness better.  In some ways, a diet this major is like being ill, in what actions you are restricted from.

All in all, good.  

Bonus:  6.  Having lots of deep thoughts.  Luckily, have good shoes.

7. Not only is a new Pratchett novel coming, and a new Etiquette and Espionage, but Ursula Vernon just published a lovely piece!
