Zombies! Paychecks!

So, I've been a little busy again. Currently, I'm working at both Six Flags and SCT, which means I'm currently riding around on nearly 60 hours of work a week, but it means that I can proudly state on my unemployment paperwork that I don't currently need assistance. Whoo! And I get to walk by seals and sea lions on my way to work at Six Flags every day! They're a lot like cats--they spend a good portion of their days sunning and snoozing. I'd envy them, but I'm having too good a time. We're doing The Crucible at SCT, and Fright Fest at Six Flags, so there's plenty to do. They cast new zombies every week for Fright Fest, and so I spend every Saturday creating new looks and helping people. Everyone seems to be having a good time, and they're all just so nice. We're already organizing the shop to make next year even better, which makes me happy.
Now, if only I had the time to organize my home, too. I'll get there, I'm sure.
Lu is walking now, which means that there's a lot more chasing involved in our lives now, and she's really loving her day care, which she visits three days a week. She's also visiting her grandparents on the weekends for the time being. I miss her, but I know I'm doing the right thing for the family by working when I can. It'll get easier once J doesn't have to work so much on the weekends for Fright Fest.
Lu's going as Lucy van Pelt for Halloween this year, and I'm almost done with her dress--I just need to make her little sash and collar and finish the sleeves. After that, I need to finish the 18th century, and then I start Christmas. My mother's coming out to celebrate with us! Yay!
