Last night I dreamed I was working in a halloween haunt...
... it's been a week since SCARE closed up, though less than a week since I participated in strike, and I guess I'm almost recovered.
Now if I could just stop dreaming about it.
SCARE for a Cure was good -- we had good turnout (great turnout for a first-year haunt, which this essentially was); we made our financial goals (I believe); we scared the bejesus out of a bunch of people; and we had a boatload of fun.
After, I pulled props and materials from the site and helped tear down a wee bit; and then I completely reset my garage, which had become unusable during the month of October. I still have to tidy up a few boxes of odds and ends, but the bulk of it is re-organized.
Now, of course, we are preparing to replace the carpet in most of our downstairs with bamboo flooring. This, too, is a lot of work! Cleaning, moving furniture, wondering where the HECK we are going to put stuff...
With any luck, we'll be ready to lay floor over Thanksgiving weekend, with the help of Marla's parents.
I'll be glad once the grunt work is behind me, because I have a _lot_ of interesting projects in queue: a computer-controlled (or audio-controlled) vortex (smoke-ring) gun; improvements on the annoying damn fog chillers; the pillar of fire; and, ummm, others that evade my memory at the moment.
Plus, I need to do writing! At the very least, the ballroom dance step notes, which I swore I'd do by 2008.
In the middle of it all is a week-long trip to Germany, plus another week vacation in Oregon.
