I'm tired in the AM again. I'm going to not have caffeine after 7 tonight, and see if I can break this cycle.

On another note, the new yarn for my swap partner came in, so I cast on last night and am happy with the results so far. The yarn is fun to work with and the color, while not me, is beautiful. It's going to be a pretty knit.

Plan for today: get a manual to a better state of happy. Put away summer clothing. Call Disney about the Pirates and Friends Cruise.

Oh, did I mention? We've booked again. First full week in January, some of which might be still this year for me (work-wise, the fiscal and vacation year ends near the end of Dec, but has been known to wrap). So I'm glad I've got a few vacation days I've been hoarding--gotta see if I can use them now, or save them for then. We'll be at Disney longer this time, so should be able to take our time (planning two days for Epcot). And we're planning to hit the one park we've not been to yet--Hollywood Studios. I hear there's a Pixar parade. I'd been wondering where those characters were hiding!

The Boy has his halloween costume--Buzz Lightyear, complete with blinky wings. It fits perfectly, and is acceptable for the school parade. He looks so very cute.

Over the weekend I made French Onion Soup--which will happen again. That was a lovely dinner. There was also the start of the switching over the wardrobe--which includes a heavy culling. I'm not using near all of my closet for clothing I actually wear--so I'll keep pulling things out of it for either storage (for a lighter tchwrtr) or for Purple Heart.

Also still getting the kitchen in shape. Haven't unearthed the pots yet--we've got the pans, so cooking has been happening, but the moment we want spaghetti, I'm out of luck. I know where they are, I think, so it's a matter of unburying them from the other things we haven't needed yet. Also culling from that pile o'still left for Purple Heart.

Guests! We have guests coming at the end of the month! Gotta get the downstairs to an even more habitable state for them. Technically it's there now, but I know it can be better. And to plan that dinner.

Speaking of guests, yesterday morning the husband discovered a parrot in the closet, who looked suspiciously like one we left in a bathroom in another house. We welcomed it back with peals of laughter.
