Looking back through some old notebooks...hmmm. For a generally cheery person, I have explored a lot of dark tunnels. I have not always been as cheerful as I hope to appear now. I would completely blow my cover if I posted any more of it. But it might come in handy for posts in the future when I'm feeling more desperate for material and less scrupulous.

So much work tonight that I'm just writing whatever comes into my head for three minutes now rather than wait until my work is finished, so that I will have kept my promise.

They say that it will rain tomorrow. I try not to hope too much, trying to fool myself that thus I will avoid disappointment when I don't need my umbrella.

On the bright side, I will get some wear out of a long-out-of-fashion outfit (translation: costume) as we are all wearing costumes to work tomorrow. I work in a town that takes Halloween very seriously.

Three minutes is up. Shock! No real inspiration has struck, no deep insight. But I'm happy to be here.
