All Souls/Saints Day, or Day of the Dead, depending on your culture.

My bad. Been a long time. Why do I recall it as Nov 1?

Evalynn closed the electronic data unit and looked at the six eyes looking back at her intently.
“What happened then, mom?”
She smiled, they were always curious about everything.
“That’s a story for tomorrow night. Get some sleep.”
A chorus of “Moooom!” and “Oh maaan!” sounded from the three children.
“Is it true you were a robotic spider?” asked the youngest child, her eyes wide in shock.
She chuckled at her daughter, then answered.
“Do you remember the blue spider in the museum?”
They all nodded.
“Once a long time ago, I was that spider.” she kneeled down to their eye level and marveled at their intent attention to her words.
“And then daddy kissed you and made you a princess like the story of the Frog Prince?”
Evalynn tilted her head and thought about it, in a way that was what one could say.
She’d come far since those days, she was no longer the pure machine mind she’d been all those years ago.
For one, she had three children.
“Something like that.” came a voice from behind her, announcing the other difference in her existence.
“I’ll tell you a scary story about how mommy was the master of a group of zombies someday.” Sigma teased the children as he hugged his wife close.
From here, the future looked mighty bright.

That is the ultimate fate of Eva prime, as for EvaLite, well, I haven’t decided one what she does yet.
And in the altered timeline, there are three of her.

It is usually considered wise (and perhaps warmer) to leave one’s house with one’s clothes to wash clothes.

Washing clothes without clothes on while sleeping is oft an image best left in the eye of the beholder of the eye ...

Yeah, I told the kids no more animals until we are settled in Ohio. LOL Dh stopped at his parents last night on the way to OH and Patches was buried in a good spot that gets a lot of sun. My fil is trying to find something that will make a good marker so we know where she is when we come to visit.

As far as Ohio winters go, it’s southeast OH, so it might help a little. We’ll be right on the border with West Virginia—on the Ohio River. We have a thing for rivers, LOL.

As far as the new job goes, we took a leap of faith, but he knows the plant manager, and liked what he saw when he interviewed there. No more weekends, no more overnights, and a pay raise to boot :)

I could see what you were saying much better if my eye teeth weren’t clothed.

No doubt we’ll have some of that, but hopefully, not until January.

I put in a pink slip for Blanche Lincoln last week. Her campaign signs around town say ‘One Tough Lady.’

I'd prefer to leave that evaluation for the carrion beasts.

And, yes, as a matter of fact I DID have to read that twice.

On first glance, it came out "I put Blanche in a pink slip," and I was forced to mash the mental "RESET" button. [shudder]

Awwww, a happy!

“Is it true you were a robotic spider?” sounds much more interesting than, “Is it true you were a typist?”
