We're really nearing the end now . . .

I hope everyone had a good Halloween! This was my first year where I couldn't just say, "Oh, I'm too busy with comic work to plan anything," and I was pretty worried that I wouldn't know what to do with myself! When you're constantly busy, you don't have to deal with all the little discomforts like planning around people's shifting schedules or finding out that something you were looking forward to isn't as great as you thought it would be. That second one is a weirdly a big anxiety/depression trigger for me!! I will put off doing something or buying something for months (if not years) for fear that it won't be as nice as I hoped it would be. Combine that with a mortal fear of waste (i.e. maybe if I never ever throw anything away or do anything frivolous I can stop global warming single-handed) and it can really turn into a headache. But those little setbacks ended up being pretty easy to work around, and I was able to have a pretty nice October!
