Happy Halloween & October Issues...

 

Halloween is here & it's dismal & dreary.   It's been so cloudy I haven't be able to see the night sky.  This overcast crap could last a couple of weeks.  I didn't need that.  This could've been the last decent day before the time change, but the weather fouled it up.  To all the standard time lovers, choke on it.  

I finally went to get a new PC.  The prices have shot up since February.  Between AI & the orange asshat it's getting hard to afford anything.  I got the system home & figured out my monitor won't work with it.   I had to run to Walmart.  There's 2 problems.  My monitor is now considered to be on the small end of things.  Small monitors are being made less.  Walmart's barely carrying anything in store, besides their on Onn brand.   It's the right size & it was priced well, hopefully it works.

I need to get started on it, but I'm not sure when that'll happen.  Yesterday wore me out & this overcast BS is making it hard for me to concentrate.  I'll get to it as I can.

Goodbye October.  You Weren't a horrid month, but things could've gone better.  

That's all for now. Take care.

It's Halloween, Goodbye October...

 

It's Halloween & I really hope it's a good night for everyone.  I really tried to care about this, but I'm just too spent on everything else.  This month has been hard & November's not looking any easier.  

As much I wish scares, thrills & candy to everyone, I just want this to be over.  I'm really over being this tired & burned out on things.  I'm just not seeing a fix.

Goodbye October.

Take care.

1st Cold Of The Season...

 

Yesterday was the 1st time we had the front room stove going.  It wasn't freezing, but it was definitely cold.  We usually need to have it going somewhere from here to mid November.  There was a year that it didn't get lit until Thanksgiving, but that only happened once.  Windows are closed, no fans, blanket are out & stoves are lit.  That's never a good combination for my eyes or breathing.  It's back to the time of year I have to decide, do I want to breathe or be warm?

Tomorrow's Halloween.  Yay, I suppose.  This used to be a big day for me, not so much for years.   I'm not warring with holidays any more, but they just don't seem to matter.  If anything, they're sort of a nuisance & the mail doesn't run.  I'm not seeing upsides to them anymore.  They're just reminders that I haven't been in on the joke in years.  Nothing feels like the holidays anymore.  It feels like people are celebrating nostalgia more than the holiday, glory days & all that.

The shutdown BS is still ongoing.  There's no sign of any change soon.  It'd be nice for once in my life not to be on losing team that all these people seem to hate.  Guess it's a little late for that.

That's all for now, take care.

Happy Halloween...

It's Halloween & I hope it goes well for everyone.  It's also the last day of October.   Good bye month, we've had wore this year, but you could've been better.  

I wish I could say I was into the holiday this year, but I'm not.  I doubt this will be a good day for me.  I'm trying to feel better.  It'll be just the cats & me today.

That's it, let's get this day over with.  Not like I expect anything better from November.

Happy Halloween.

Fading With The Last Of It...

 

This is the last Sunday of October.   Halloween is almost here & to be honest, I don't really care.  I hate that.  This used to be my favorite holiday.  

So much of what I enjoyed is gone & what's left I can't muster much excitement for.  I should've never stayed long enough to see this.  I wonder whose sick joke it was for me to live this long.  Hell, it was probably mine.  Another plan that backfired.

It's hazy again this morning & I don't feel well.  I spent most of yesterday tired, achey & just feeling off.  I thought sleep might help, but it didn't.  

The light is almost gone & this is the last week before the hellish time change.  I'll lose an hour of light, just some morning asshats can have it.  Sunset next Sunday will be 5:41.  I hope that hour of morning light brings those damn morning people misery.

The dread is hear.  I don't know how well I'll fare this year.  The Summer was weak & frustrating.  I don't have high hopes for the dark seasons this time around.  It's really hard to be this exhausted & out of it all the time & the season's just beginning.

That's all for now.  Take care.

Happy Halloween & Goodbye October...

 

Just 4 things.

1st & foremost.  Happy Halloween everyone.  I hope the day is bountiful for you.  Whether you lean towards All Hallow's Eve or Samhain, may the holiday be rewarding.

2nd, Goodbye October, you weren't fun.

3rd, I met with my new medical provider & everything seems settled.  I hope the drama over this matter is done.  Now, I just have notify my specialist.

4th, It's frigid.  I dislike anything under the 60s.  I hate anything under the 40's.  We were in the 20's last night, so I wasn't warm or happy.

That's all for now take.

Happy Halloween & Goodbye October...

Goodbye October.  You weren't the worse month, but you still managed to be a stressful, pain.  So far, 2022 has only had a single good month, August & it was hot.  I don't have high hopes for the  remainder of the year.  October, there's the door, use it.

Now onto other things.  May your night be spooky & full of good hunting.  Happy Halloween & a bright Samhain to you all.

Midpoint....

 

We're midway through October.  Maybe the downhill  slide will do better.  I'm not holding my breath on that.  It's supposed to rain tonight.  We need the rain.  We don't need some ballistic storm BS.  My neighbor has a rooster.  I hate this bird.  It has the strangest crow & it sings all night long.  He needs a bottle of red, some aromatics & a pot.

There isn't much else going on here.  It doesn't feel like Halloween's just 2 weeks away.  Then a month and a half later will be Thanksgiving.  There's a fair bit of disconnect for me this year.  I'm not hating on the holidays, I'm just sort of not registering them.  Just another part of the social veneer, that's peeled away.  Things like these take effort & need maintenance.  Neither have happened often enough.

Oh well, we're halfway to November.

Belated Halloween...

 

I'm not sure if this was blogger or me.  Yesterday's post didn't go through.   Maybe I forgot, I don't know.  I hope everyone had a great Halloween.

Goodbye October, you were  not a  good month for me.  Do better next year.

Cya...

Happy Halloween...

Happy Halloween.  I do hope you find some joy this during this seasonal transition.  May Samhain find you well.  Happy hunting.  

It was a sunny, if not warm, morning.  The light was very appreciated.   This is the end of October.  The month was fine, except for later downpours & chills.  

The unpleasantries came from other things.  The election, COVID & a greedy streaming company put serious bad energy in the air.   Bad things keep entering the arena & none left.  Few good things are being brought out.  Too bad Apple got greedy with the pumpkin. It may not have been much, but it might've knocked the edge off of all this.

Again, goodbye October.  Happy Halloween.  Take care & go vote.

Countdowns...

 

We heading to some endings. Halloween is in a few days.  It marks the ending of early fall as we head into the holiday season, such as it will be this year.   October is ending & taking Daylight Saving Time with it, damn.  I hate falling back & losing the afternoon sunlight.  Who wants an extra hour of 2020 anyway?

For better or worse, it also marks the end of the electoral campaigns.   Election day is November 3rd.  I hope trump is gone, we'll see.  Articles have been a near deadzone his entire term.  I'm not entirely sure why, but articles dried up soon after his election.

November will mark a lot of endings & beginnings.  We'll have to wait see which is which. Take care.

Happy Samhain...

October is winding down.  We' actually had to turn on the heaters last night.  I'm not happy about that, but it got under freezing.   Not quite 3 weeks ago, it was 90 F & sunny.  Yesterday,  it was cold, dreary & raining.    I hate our lack of seasons.  I want an autumn that actually does what it should do, transition from hot to cold, not just nosedive into it.

I'm glad this month is ending.  It's been rough,  I have to get started on a new dental crown today.  Everything is acting weird or needing fixed.   There's been too much stress this month.

Goodbye October, you were not my friend.

Cya...

PS - Happy Halloween & may the Great Pumpkin look kindly upon you as he flies overhead...

Happy Halloween...

Happy Halloween & the last day of October 2017.   It's brisk out & looks like it might be rain.  That won't be fun for the trick-or-treaters.  This October went better than last year's.  We didn't have to replace gas lines & the refrigerator.   That was an improvement. 

I forgot to mention, I saw my lab results.  While they weren't as good as the last set, they were still within range.  So, that's that, for now.

So long October.

Take care & have a Happy Halloween,  Good Hunting.

Busy Morning...

It's the last Friday of the month.  Soon, Halloween will be here.  There probably won't be any cheap chocolate this year with where the holiday falls.  I'm OK with that.   We've been wanting less lately.  No sense having a ton of candy around.

I checked the electric bill online today.  That thing makes no sense now.  Before it was on a flat average, now it's just averaged.   But averaged with what?

I have to run to Fort Smith later.  I'm considering getting the oil changed on the van.  It just depends on how I feel later.  The weather's shifting a lot & it's making my achy.  

That's it for now, take care.

Happy Halloween...

It's Halloween & the end of October.  Even better, it's the end of Daylight Saving Time.   Whether it's Samhain, All Saint's., just more light in the morning or whatever else you're celebrating, best wishes. 

So long October.  You were an odd month.  You were wet & chilly & then very dry & in the mid 90's.   Very indecisive of you.  

My lab & eye appointments went well.  We're planning for the upcoming month & the holidays.  We've got most the gifts settled.  Now, just figuring out the little details, like what to eat.

Have a great night.  Bring your pets inside, they don't need to be part of the shenanigans.  Happy  Hunting.

Hello November...

With Halloween done, October is in the rear view mirror.  We're officially into the holiday season, yippie.  Hopefully, the stores won't pound us with holiday music too early.  

We had a pretty decent Halloween.   The repairmen  showed up early & were able to fix the washer fairly cheap.   We got to see John Wick.  It was a decent action action flick.  

After that we stopped by & got some Chinese to take home.  You know you're in a crappy area, when mall, food court Chinese, is about the best you can consistently get  your hands.  Then we made it home with our food.  October ended  with TV & lo mein.

November started with a quick run to Walmart to raid the remaining Halloween candy.  It'd been marked down 50%.   That's another holiday tradition for us, getting the candy once the holiday has passed.

Hello November.  Let's do this right & not suck.   I have at least 1 dentist appointment, probably 2.  It'll just depend on how things lay out for my crown replacement.   There's also a specialist appointment.  We can't forget about holiday shopping & Thanksgiving.   Looks like a busy month.

Cya...

Heading Out...

We're going to see a movie if all goes well today.  We have to go do some shopping & then wait to see if we hear back from the repairman we had to call about the washing machine.  It's been giving us problems. 

If he gets here & does his thing in time, we'll head for the theater.   If not, we'll just go get some Chinese food.  What a Halloween tradition.   

Actually, we had our major point of Halloween last night.  We watched the Great Pumpkin.  It's not my fav Charlie Brown, but it's probably  my 2nd.   Peanuts, is always an odd thing for me.  I always liked the idea of it more than I actually liked the strip.   Its a great comic & has some wonderful parts.  Still, I never connected to it as a work, as much as I did an idea.   Or maybe that's an ideal.  

Whatever it may be, it's still part of our tradition.  Lucy & Linus Van Pelt will always be my favorite characters of the strip.   Maybe next year Linus will find the right pumpkin patch.

Have a great Halloween everyone.

Halloween & Goodbye October...

I hope everyone's holiday goes well for them.  It's supposedly going to rain here, but it doesn't look like it at the moment.  The weather isn't being very cooperative for me feeling well today. I woke up not feeling all that great, but I'm getting better as the day goes by.  

October is wrapping up, just a few odd hours left in it.  I hope some of the wetness goes with it, at least for a while.  I'm tired of having to get the lawn mowed & deal with fire ants.  

Again, a Happy Halloween to everyone, good candy hunting to all.

Halloween...

It's Halloween & the end of October.  October was a pretty good month this year.  I'm going to be a little busy today, so not much of a post today.  The Great Pumpkin is on tonight & we'll be watching it.  Whatever you call it;  Samhain, All Souls Eve or Halloween, have a great one.
