Last night was the Curious Collectors of Baker Street's annual Gasfitter's Ball, and the theme this year was steampunk! I've been going to this event for years and years, and I have to say that for this go-round people really pulled out the stops! As usual, the hubby and I had a marvelous time, although next time I wear this get-up I'm going to throw on the corset in the parking lot after I get there, because being stuck in traffic whilst wearing a get-up such as this begins to get a little painful (yesterday was the Breeder's Cup at Santa Anita Racetrack, and it seriously borked the 210 Freeway).



Of course, the first order of business was to procure a bottle of champagne...

Come inside -- the show's about to start! )

'Cause it sure feels like I don't. However, even with cleaning the kitchen, doing laundry, taking down the Halloween decorations, and going grocery shopping, I still managed to hit my goal.


20261 / 50000 words. 41% done!

And my dad's back in the hospital again. I actually spoke to him this afternoon, and he sounded pretty good, all things considered, but they're keeping him for more tests because they can't seem to pin down where his bronchial problems are coming from. He doesn't have pneumonia, and so far it doesn't sound as if the cancer has come back, but it could be the beginnings of emphysema (he was a two-pack-a-day smoker for 60+ years). The weird thing is that the doctors can't seem to figure out what's going on. I'm crossing my fingers that this latest battery of tests will reveal something they hadn't yet discovered. He doesn't sound too down about it, and I'm sure they'll figure it out eventually, but still...just one more thing to worry about. Sigh.
