Trick or treat its a new week


It's Monday, an unremarkable Monday, but thought I would write anyway.

Not much new on the home front. Big C is around for a little while now, work has been keeping him on the staying in hotels circuit the last bit and he's gone all next week again. Poor guy, I definitely do not envy him. 

Hotel stays for vacations or periodically when needed are fine, but when you spend nearly as many days in a hotel as you do in your own bed, I'm thinking it becomes tiresome.

We had our first snowflakes over the weekend. They didn't last long and they were pretty wet, but it was snow for sure. That means winter is around the corner.

Yes, it may take another month before we get snow that actually sticks around for a day or so, but it's fast approaching.

We got another video of our soon to be fur kid yesterday. I guess it was a video of the whole litter, eyes now open, starting to walk etc… Cuteness overflowing let me tell you. Miss K watched the video 3 times, she just can't wait until our pup comes home.

On the flip side, there were more tears for my mudpuppy today. She's been gone nearly 5 months and some days the wound is still so fresh of losing her.

A piss off almost, a dog that was otherwise healthy save for a few seasonal allergies taken from us. 75 pounds of pure muscle and athleticism and some wiring didn't work in her brain that stripped us of more years with her. Maddening that a dog that healthy couldn't have spent more time in our lives.

Lots of tears still to come, and I know having the new pup will both help and hurt all at the same time.

Big C put his back out yesterday. He's a big time hurting unit. You know how when your back hurts everything hurts and you just become cranky?? That describes him to a T right now.

He could have asked for help to push what he was pushing and that might have stopped it, but who really knows? Maybe some magic from the chiropractor will make things better.

Halloween is this week. Yay. Not.

I don't like Halloween. I like dressing up, some of the costumes people come up with are cool, but I just don't care for it.

It seems its becoming another big commercial racket and that bugs me.

It's one night, Miss K will visit her half dozen houses and some home and scarf a bunch of candy and that will be that I hope. 

It's supposed to rain too, which might make some of the less die hard trick or treaters not show up.

I could do without the kids who are old enough to drive themselves around, the ones who don't have any manners, the ones who put on a hockey jersey and call it a costume, the parents who are collecting for a "sick kid" at home, the ones that are too old, the ones that are too young etc…

I guess that pretty much leaves the princesses and spidermans that get wheeled around in a wagon by their parents. They're the few that are polite and cute.

Enjoy your Halloween festivities, whether thats trick or treating, parties or sitting in the house with the lights off…til next time
