Yes, so...

I had to abandon computerchix and aliciar to the merciless used bookstores downtown. Why would I be so cruel and callous?

My period started. The first day is one I generally spend on the couch, moving only to fetch more donq quai tea and naproxen. I get woozy, dizzy, have hot flashes, and generally more unpleasant things. I don't mind bleeding--really. Having my period is an affirmation that my body is doing what it's supposed to do. Now, if my body would just not overreact, we'd all be happier.

I don't think they mind too much, being left to wile away some time with mountains of dusty tomes.

Lunch was lovely. I was still blood-free and cramp-free at that point. We met red_frog and explodingcat at Bashir's for yummy food. They all had sandwiches. I had the vegetarian sampler platter (hummus, salads of sorts, falafel, bread). It's so rare that I can actually *eat* falafel, because it's usually fried in soy oil. Bashir has sworn to never use soybean oil. It's so good and fresh and mmmmm...

I'm home, in any case. My tea will be done soon. It's a lovely fall day. Virginia is so beautiful this time of year.

I have a meeting with a personal trainer in an hour or so at ACAC. It's a freebie with my trial membership. I'm not going to do any exercises today, no matter what she says. To do so would invite vomiting and passing out.

Bashir takes good care of all of us. :)

My reaction to my first day isn't that bad, but it's still not a day that I feel like doing much beyond sleeping. But I am sure that they'll be able to entertain themselves downtown for a bit.

It's gorgeous out. I'm taking advantage of my need to run an errand to enjoy a bit more of it.

They actually are leaving right now, which is fortunate, as dinner reservations were moved a half hour earlier (and they were cutting it close before).

They skipped Daedelus, which is probably fortunate, in light of the changed plans. They'll just have to visit again with more time to get lost in the labyrinth.

hmmm, this reminds me to ask the two of you--what do you think the weather will be like at the end of october, temperature-wise? long sleeves and sweaters or do y'all stay warm a little longer?

and i just checked--i should get mine two days before my initial drive so i should be mostly cramps-free by the time i take off. hallelujah!

It could be cold, chilly, or warm-ish. Pack layers.

By the end of October, I can generally count on velvet-friendly weather and wool-cloak-wearing. There are warm days here and there, but generally no warmer than 60 or so. Most days will be chillier and nights will have frosts now and then.

That's my zip code. red_frog's might be a digit different, but we're within a couple miles of each other. ;) No micromicroclimates here.

Probably cool and sunny--unless it's raining. :) I'd plan on long sleeves and a jacket for evening. With luck, the leaves will still be doing their thing. This link might help you, as you can use it to get a record of the temperature on any selected date.
