Halloween and Firsts of November

Had to work on Halloween. Wasn't that great of a day. I did wear a hat to work and drew a little silver star on my cheek. I was a "COOL KID", lol. I don't think anyone really saw a difference though. I was driving to work and got a gusher of a nose bleed. I thought at first it was just a runny nose and it kind of itched so I reached up to rub the side of my nose and felt wetness all over my hand. I looked down and my hand was covered in blood. Thankfully I hadn't gotten any on my clothes but I was scrambling to get into my glovebox for some napkins while keeping my car on the road. I would have pulled over but I was on a one lane road and there really was nowhere to pull over. I walked into work with bloody hands and bloody rags. People started laughing because they thought it was a Halloween prank. Like I had pretended to get stabbed or something, I dunno. Anyway, my head felt funny after that for a while. Then people started complaining about food and the night just went on forever. Everyone ended up getting sent home except for me. I think my boss thought she was doing me a favor but it was the one night I really wanted to go home early. Figures. 

There was an alligator in our back yard a couple of days ago. Apparently it lives in the little pond directly behind the house. There has been a lot of debate how it actually got there. It shows up every so often though. I walked outside to snap a picture of it while it was sunbathing. I think it saw me and went into this weird position of half in and half out of the water. Needless to say I went back in the house and left it alone. 

Check out the pics on Flickr if you feel so inclined.

Hope everyone had a great Holiday. Don't forget to set the clocks back. An extra hour of sleep for most, unless you have to work the graveyard shift, then you get an extra hour of work. SUCK A DUCK huh?
