i’m having trouble processing that it was only last weekend (thursday-sunday) that i was in washington dc. it feels like weeks ago. i never mentioned that on the way back from dc, i rode with jane and alexa to jane’s sister’s house in richmond. we were wildly exhausted (as previously blogged) but still managed to see a bit of the town and ogle at jane’s new 3 week old nephew luke. i’m still not sure i’ve caught up on my sleep.

halloween happened friday. i dressed up. partied with the new kids. hit franklin street, which was mostly a vehicle for getting to hell. sadly missed the charles/owen hallowe’en soiree. thankfully that party has been thoroughly documented from a number of perspectives: jean’s, jason’s, sarahfalls’s.

post-hell, walked all the way down rosemary and north columbia in my socks, fishnets, and a red dress. made it to jane’s car, made it to jane’s apartment. fishsticks. fell asleep in a bathtub (half full of water and epsom salts, for aching feet). eventually got out of the tub, dried, and into bed. i think my big toes have forgiven me for spending another halloween in size ten women’s boots with three inch heels.
