I got exactly zero trick-or-treaters. Parents just don't like their kids walking around the Northgate neighborhood at night. And I had a box of full-sized candy bars too. Yeah, I'm the cool grown-up in the neighborhood.

But nobody knows it...

Lets meet in Carlos and I'll take some of those candy bars from you.

I'm seeing all these posts today for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and I'm just like... :(

Because I've pretty much decided to give up on writing. So seeing any posts about it depress me.

I forgot about NaNoWriMo.

I know you feel like that right now, Nick, but if it's something you love, it'll latch onto you again like one of those horrible fish that swim up a urethra and stick barbs out of their skin--you'll never address it with a doctor out of embarrassment and just learn to accept it as an important and unending part of your life.

What were we talking about?

I named one of the weapons in my story after those: Candiru. Because it fires a barbed dart that latches onto an armored target and shocks it to short out electronic systems. The idea is to disable powered armor or vehicles to make them easier to take out and easier to salvage.

We got maybe twenty kids total. The biggest group was our group. Our daughter was sick so she and I stayed in.

We have s foolish amount of candy now.

PS - I saw an old Greys that had a guy with that fish inside...super freaky X-ray.

I bought enough candy to handle as many kids as I had last year. It was no sufficient. Had over 60 kids and had to close up shop early because I ran out.

So reimburse yourself with the HSA, if you need the money. There is no expiration date on how long you can wait between getting a procedure and disbursing the corresponding amount from an HSA. Just keep the receipts together in case of audit.

Then don't do it often :p Two pages per occurrence shouldn't be that high a burden, just keep them with your other tax records. Maybe digitally if that's your thing.

Even if you don't want to take the money now, I would encourage you to keep this payment documented. You might your tax-free money a decade down the road.

My favorite Cajun restaurant in town is closing for good tonight. They had good jambalaya too.

Edit: Restaurants on that stretch of Wellborn just don't do well. Swamp Tails was around for about two years. The food was good if slightly overpriced. The atmosphere was relaxed. They even offered free game day parking with the purchase of a meal (it's about a two-mile walk to Kyle Field). It just didn't stick.

Sigh, my son is falling behind on his schoolwork because I was busy in the afternoons for the last week and a half and he is still awful at doing things on his own initiative. Trying to get him to work on it at night just ended with him not getting enough sleep since he has to get up at 5:30 in order to be ready to get out the door for the 6:30 bus. So now I hate everything again, and all the progress we were making on homework is basically gone.

No joke, but some of our family friends had a kid who just couldn't sit and down and do his homework. He didn't have ADHD or anything like that. He just didn't want to work. So they sat him down at his desk and tied him to the chair with bungee cords.

Pretty sure child abuse is not the way to go.

Well, that was one way to get him to do his homework. It was never a problem after that. It's not like they cut off his circulation or anything. The deal was he couldn't leave his desk until he was done.

I had my infusion Friday and I can barely stay awake this weekend. I'm hanging out with the kids and everything they want to say comes out as a scream. Which makes my headache worse :(
