At around 2100 pm, the ghosts and goblins, well, cute kids in their non-scary costumes stopped going from door-to-door. Around 53, similar to last year. Used to be around 70 years ago.
Was massaging the Squirrel’s “runner’s muscle” for about an hour. A segment of muscle band was tight as a plank! I felt two disc-shaped injuries, which an orthopedic specialist must diagnose! He might have sleep apnea because of his bad dreams. Have texted him and hopefully he will make use of his health insurance to “help” his human form.
The night went well as I had Shrimpsei’s OtterBox buzzing behind Maw’s noisy Halloween display, across from the front door. We were down to our last bag of chip and still have lots of candies left-over. Interestingly/symbolically, the last blue-colorded bag of chips was something with the word “Sun”.
When I’d hear Maw announce there was sounds from the front door, I would stop my massage session, run to the front door, scream “customers”, turn on Maw’s noise maker, step on a padded noise maker on the floor, unlock the top bolt lock, and greet the treaters Happy Halloween.
I really want to attend evening masses going forward. But because the stubborn old timers are so used to passing out candies, I’m stuck doing this old tradition, though Pagan, we as Christians still enjoy celebrating.
