| | The necessity for scary has somewhat diminished within the last week, so this Halloween, quiet as it is, comes as a welcome repose.
Recounting the frightening and stressful bits only serves to increase the depth and length of the new wrinkle between my brows, so for vanity's sake, I will not do it. However, there were gems to be had and I found some.
My kiddos wrote their spooky short stories and they were wonderful. Gory as all get out but wonderful.
While the symptoms of the Chiari seem to be building, it helps a great deal to get through whatever quirks arise knowing that it may not have to last forever. And that is a gem worth holding on to right now. I find out more on Tuesday.
Wanting things, material things, never seems to happen to me without pangs of guilt, but with my latest two ME WANTS! that feeling is oddly not present. My two darlings are: Final Draft and a stationary bike. The thoughts of using those two things cheer me up considerably.
(What? A zombie kitty is far more interesting to look at than a stationary bike. It's a fact. At least you weren't Rick Rolled.)
So the gem list is short but when that happens it has become a great release to turn to the monkey. He has a way of pulling out the silly even when I cannot seem to find it myself.
Here is his latest:
And in an effort to pay homage to the creepy, here is one of the photo edits I have yet to post anywhere else.
 I tried to make a human peacock but my mad scientist gene was on the fritz again.
Hey, I am not forgetting the little things. I am well aware and appreciative of those nuances that brighten days. I heard a man in line at the grocery say to another, "Everyday I wake up above the dirt, I call it a win." As do I. The alternative would be very uncomfortable. And I had one such win. On a rare night out, a musician gave me a card of his up coming show dates. He turned it over to explain to me that I could use the other side as a scratch pad to write things on, like phone numbers. AND I only had to check with one person to assure myself that he was not really overly concerned about awareness of the multiple uses of paper products. I am not dead yet apparently.
Will be round soon. I hope you all are doing okay. Much love and snack sized candies to you!
