Perhaps it was the Halloween that did it to me. Or even morel likely, the Hubs' out-of-character offer to go out to dinner rather than answer the doorbell a dozen times. (Ah, the meadow was closed; out of luck, no grazing tonight.) Yes, that was mean. It was a nice, good-faith offer. It's just that we go out to dinner maybe once a year, if that, so you can understand my surprise. Anyway, I was down with the diverticulosis, so it was a safe offer for him to make, since I wasn't leaving the couch and my friend, the ice pack.

Which is maybe what explains why I feel like I missed a day in diaryland. I read diaries last night, I know I did, but now everybody's making references to stuff I missed, and I've gone back a step in a few pages and read those entries, but still: I'm confused. I must have read early, and everyone else stayed up late, posting.

I'll catch up, in time. Just want to say this about the diaryland survivor 5 contest. I saw the list of participants. Good luck to all of you, of course, and I'll try to read as much of the entries as I can, because I'm very curious about the whole thing.

And so glad that I did not apply to be a contestant this time. I'm not a competetive person to start with, and now that I see that I would have been competing against both my much-loved cosmicrayola and trinity63? **shudder shudder**? Not to mention that Uncle Bob guy, whom I don't so much read personally, but my kids have been reading him for years, and I know enough to know that he is THE diary guy.

The sidelines are feeling very comfortable right now. Good luck, everyone!
