So yeah, I was feeling sleepy early last night because of the time change. But this morning, it was light out when I woke up, and it made waking up so easy! Yay! I know that won't last forever, but it's nice while it does last.

My weekend was great. I didn't get a chance to dress up (boo) but I DID get a chance to spend some time doing awesome and meaningful things with some of my favorite people (yay). Yesterday, I tended to the garden. I dumped the old basil plants (saving some seeds), dumped the tomato plants, and brought the thyme inside (it was looking a little sad). I now have at least four jalapeƱo plants that are flowering and fruiting a second time! The self-reseeded cilantro is doing well too. I made a little guacamole on Saturday. :)

I had a few mini candy bars (3 Musketeers and Snickers) left over from Halloween. They're in the freezer. I figured there weren't all that many, so we might as well keep and enjoy them. Not too excessive. Here at work, however, there are leftovers from Friday's party (cookies, crackers, pretzels, nuts, candy...) and people's leftover Halloween candy. OY. These people are trying to kill me. This, after I got on the scale this morning and was pleasantly surprised by the number I saw there. So surprised, in fact, that I got off the scale, gave it a bit of a shake, moved it to another spot on the floor, reset it, and tried again. Same thing. Oh, OK. On the plus side, the sheer variety of food available seems to be keeping me from temptation. I don't want to eat EVERYTHING, so I would have to pick one or two small things to eat, but choosing is hard, so I've had nothing except my healthy breakfast of oatmeal and yogurt. Win.

Now, back to work.

Go plants! I've got to water mine, but they are all aloes and don't mind a little neglect, and plump right back up when watered.

Have to ask you about Latin again--what's this userpic mean? ("Fabricati Diem PVNC")

It's faux Latin, really. It's from the Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, and is the motto of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch. Here's the story from Wikipedia:

"The Ankh-Morpork Watch & Ward was founded in AM 1561 by King Veltrick I. They had full copper armour and a copper shield inscribed "Fabricati Diem, Pvncti Agvnt Celeriter" ("Make the Day, the Moments Pass Quickly", Veltrick's motto). [...] The current watch badge was commissioned following the events of Men at Arms. It is an eight-pointed copper star, with the city coat-of-arms in the centre. Around the arms is written "Fabricati Diem, Pvnc", a truncated version of Veltrick's motto."

It's supposed to look like it means, "Make my day, punk." :)
