Returning From Vacation

I sit outside the Hamilton GO Station, the collar of my long coat made itchy by sweat, wool, and the pressure from the straps of my bags. This coat lost its last front button on the way down. It was already hanging loose, and clattered to the sidewalk when I got off the bus. Luckily, I noticed, and picked it up. I have it in my pocket. I idly wonder where I ever put the other ones, between drifting thoughts of Robby, house cleaning, and the politics that have sadly now come up with the one I came here to visit. My bus back to London will arrive in about 40 minutes at platform eleven. It seems to be one of the only platforms without an accompanying bench, but I sit outside anyway, on the cool cement. It seems crosslegged is more suited to writing anyway.

Robby will (probably) meet me at the London terminal, and from there, I dive back into a working routine. But let us hope, the break will help me bear my more difficult shifts with more perspective - and what changes we have set up will help. The bus arrives ahead of schedule. Will we load up and leave early? Well, it seems we will load up early. I have no objection to that.

So now, I will resume typing on my laptop. On Blogger itself, in fact. This is my first time using greyhound on-board Wi-Fi as far as I can recall. It seems humble but serviceable. I will likely use my laptop to listen to music and keep collecting my clickables for the ChickenSmoothie Hallowe'en Event. It's been keeping me attached to my laptop of late, a very effective Skinner box. The Lights On Lights Off forum game has been remarkably effective at filling out my wishlist. I finally have done some work on the adoptables I want to give out for it, and I have designed 13 "haunts" already... Although I have about 50 trick or treaters that I've promised treats already, so I still have a long way to go. I intend to deliver the first batch in the next day or two, and hopefully people will be patient while I get to all the waiting trick or treaters, and also complete the linearts for the three critter types I haven't finished yet.

Now I have become distracted, so I will leave this here as it is. Consider it my October update, I suppose. Fare thee well.
