I wish I could find my enthusiasm
Usually by this time each year I am almost giddy with excitement over Halloween’s approach.
No so much this year.
I’m not even looking forward to trick or treat night yet, much less decorating.
Enabled at the Target Halloween shop
Each year I add at least one new prop. Yes, usually with G enabling me. I easily could have spent more and I haven’t even hit Spirit Halloween yet.
Quiet days around here are good days
The pups were enjoying a lazy day while The Curmudgeon sat engrossed in his TV programs.
I managed to get a few things done and the mowers have the yard mowed, including the filled in pond area. (Usually I try to have that area weed whacked because of stones and cement blocks still there from the pond.) I hadn’t gotten around to doing it and the weeds stood quite tall. It looks nice now.
I still have to get out there and pull the overgrown vines and bind weed off the miniature lilac and the shed.
Weather permitting I will get it done.
Or not…
Squirrel 3 relocated
So, we don’t set the trap if the weather is hot or at night.
Night time trap setting will only net us an opossum or a skunk.
We want the opossums around, they eat ticks. They don’t destroy my tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants.
After the relocation, the trap remained closed but baited. We had three more squirrels lined up to take the bus.
There’s always tomorrow.
I love our Vet
So, first thing I did yesterday morning?
I called our Vet.
Gavin had such a miserable night all I could do was hope she didn’t insist he come in. He didn’t need the stress.
Our fabulous and very understanding vet had me come in and pick up a probiotic for him.
He’s also on a hamburger and rice bland diet. He’s thrilled. He loves hamburger and rice.
So far today? He’s not had the squirts and is sleeping soundly. I hope it continues long enough for me to get some sleep too.

Don’t let them kid you…It never gets easier
Gavin the old dog has had two bad nights. I’m hoping he does better tonight.
The Curmudgeon had a very bad day, then yesterday was better, I’m hoping today is also good.
I look around at all the dirt and grime and wish I had the energy to clean this damned house or a crew to get it done for me so all I have to do is keep it up afterwards.
It’s all gotten too far ahead of me.
The more I see it, the more depressed I get.
The more depressed I get, the less energy I have to do it.
Most days these days, I just say fuck it.
Some days you just feel like hiding…or look out your introvert is showing
Does everyone have days where they’d rather be completely alone all day or better yet, for a few days?
Or is that just me?
I crave it like some crave sweets.
I can’t help it, the constant demands on me have turned me into quite the antisocial person.
But, then again, I do enjoy going out and having fun with my friends.
I guess I am an extroverted introvert or is that an introverted extrovert?

Old dogs break our hearts
Watching Gavin grow old is hard.
Poor dog still bounces around on his good days.
But he sure does wobble and stumble on his bad ones.
Clearly today was a bad one.
He’s still game though.
Fightin’ words!
Gentlemen,
Never tell your wife, “Wow, you sure are getting grey.” if you are the cause of every grey hair on her head.
You might not survive.
Sometimes he forgets that I write murder mysteries. Not smart.
Today’s Tee shirt
So I spent the night watching a marathon…
A TV marathon of Dead Like Me. I can’t resist a show with Mandy Patinkin in it and that show is good fun.
I found it on Comet Network… I have no idea from where Comet Network arrived on our roster of network favorites, but there it sits.
Hope you all find a treat of some sort to make your day. I know this made mine.
