Short Runup to Halloween

 Typically, October is a very busy month for me- it is traditionally our major fundraising month on the job. My strategy a strategy for blogging in October, has typically involved setting up post ahead of time. Usually I take the time in October to write about horror fiction or scary movies.  This year, a year of genuine horrors and habitual mask-wearing, what is the point of Halloween?  

More importantly, we have canceled two minor fundraising events and truncated another, I just haven't been as busy as I am in a typical year.  The hectic nights of running around making sure event logistics are adhered to have been replaced by low-key nights playing with the cat and reading horror fact, not horror fiction.

Tomorrow will be weird, overtime has been authorized because people expecting events will show up, so someone has to be on site to ensure that they don't improvise kicks on the premises.  It's fewer hours than a typical October weekend, but a little extra cash will be a nice treat during this tricky year.
