I’m super late getting around to this, but life has been super busy lately! I barely managed to keep up with all the new music and tour announcements, so any personal posts fell to the wayside. Today, though, I’m off work and wanted to update y’all on how my October (and early November) was.
I will start with the biggest piece of news. I applied for a new position at work. It’s really a lateral move, but I think it will be better for me because my current role stresses me the fuck out. I was interviewed and y’all…I do not interview well. I walked out totally convinced I’d bombed it.
And then, about a week ago, the manager over that department came to me and offered me the job!!! It seems likely I won’t start until after Thanksgiving; they’re trying to fill my position now. I’m nervous and excited and soooo ready to be away from what I do now.
Aside from that, my Halloween weekend was epic! It kicked off on the 30th with a late birthday gift from my sister-in-law. She took me to see The Funeral Portrait, I Prevail, and Three Days Grace. I love The Funeral Portrait, and would have gone for them alone, but there’s something about Three Days Grace. Maybe it’s just the nostalgia, I dunno. Their live shows are super fun. Plus, Adam is back. (Fun fact: his first reunion with the band, before he 100% rejoined, was in Huntsville when they were opening for Shinedown. I was there for that, too.)
I had to wake up early the next day and get semi-dolled up to go celebrate my best friend’s mom’s wedding. We hung out with both sides of the family until early afternoon before changing into our costumes and heading out to take the kids trick-or-treating. We had let her daughter choose the theme a couple of years ago, and she picked Ghostface, so this year her son made the decision. He wanted us all to be clowns. As you’ll see in the pictures below, everyone but his sister followed the theme. To be fair, she just turned 13 and is in that contrary state of mind.
I crashed at their place for a few days, just to relax and reset, then it was back to work. We’re understaffed and trying to get people hired in, and there’s more drama than there should be – who knew grown ass adults could be so much worse than teenagers?
On the personal front, we’re simply trying to figure out Thanksgiving. Lol. I took that weekend off so I wouldn’t miss the Iron Bowl. Yes, I’m that college football fan. Roll Tide!
Anyway, here’s a bunch of pictures no one asked for. I hope y’all had a fantastic spooky season, as well, and I hope you can find some magic in the holidays this year, because I sure do miss how they felt as a kid.
Oh! One more thing. I bought a Switch 2 just so my brother and I can play the remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. And whoa! The updated graphics are GORGEOUS!
