- One of those "magical" coincidences seems to be taking place. As I mentioned yesterday, I was assigned a big overtime project at work – not difficulty, but time-consuming. I spent two hours last night calling customers, and I'll be doing so for at least the next week (except for Monday, which I have off for a vacation day). This is committing me to staying at home so that I can work on Saturday. This morning, I found that I had an opportunity to travel out of state for Halloween…except that I'm not able to go, because of my commitment to work. And I realize that's not a bad circumstance, because it commits me to the plan I had originally formed for visiting Salem, then staying at home to cook on Halloween. (I'm still glad to be able to assist someone special this weekend, nonetheless.)
- My staying late at work is causing me to cancel my plans to do the rite tonight. I'll be far too tired to concentrate on it in the manner that I should. It's looking more and more like I'll be doing the magical preparations over the weekend…which still suits me fine, because it will keep me busy for the entire time.
- I was tired enough last night to simply get some ghetto chicken after work (a.k.a. Crown Fried Chicken). I know I'll be tired again tonight, though I shouldn't gorge myself. I'll have to eat lighter tonight, perhaps doing a vegetable stir-fry when I get home.
