But sense of achievement, I hope?
Yeah I suppose - lots of stuff to go to the charity shop, lots of cleaning done, a few things fixed,
a bonfire had for old papers. It was all a diversion tactic really because the alternative was to sit at a computer
doing school work. So the housework was the lesser of two evils!

So who here enjoys Halloween? Its my favorite holiday! It's nothing like it use to be as a kid, but I still enjoy it even though I'm 36 yrs old. I begged my boss to have a Halloween party at the clinic we work at. I'm dressing up as a scarecrow, it can't be too scary because we work with kids. Then on Halloween night when I go out, I'm dressing up as a zombie with lots of blood. I've been doing the zombie thing for a long time! It kind of sucks that zombies are so big now. I love the scary part of Halloween!!! I might do a hideous zombie creature type thing. Anyways have a good night and I'll be popping in Tomorrow :)

I have lots and lots of free time, but still never have time in the day to do everything I want to do.
I think slowing the Earth's rotation might be a tad expensive, though.
But I'd rather be busy than not, mostly, though it's nice to have a do nothing day occasionally. :)
Life's good!!!!
That's my problem! Always wanting to do more than time allows or more than my body can keep up with. This broken leg and 2 surgeries have put me so far behind I just can't seem to ever get caught up. It's been a source of frustration of mine.
And no, we don't want to disturb the natural rhythm of Nature. It's design is as perfect as could be I've always liked to stay busy as well, but feeling "behind the schedule" is very bad for my sense of wellbeing. I must do something about that What? I haven't earthly idea! But you, my Friend, enjoy your time of leisure. And yes, life is good!

Night, night, Shannon, sleep well!!!
Wifey and I love Halloween, but it's not done here.:(
We sometimes dress up though and watch horror movies, and once or twice i've taken a costume to friends houses and made the children cry.
I can't walk through the streets in costume though, as the people do believe in djinns here and would stone me or have real panic attacks.
The father of a friend of mine actually went white and started screaming when I put a costume on outside his house and he opened the door and saw a faceless 'demon'.Another woman I know wet the bed when she stayed in a house she was told might be haunted.

We all have our crosses to bear, but millions and millions of people across the world aren't nearly as lucky as we are.
I am so happy just to be alive and have a wonderful wifey and tortoise and all my lovely friends in the UK, in Morocco and here in The Cold Dark Room!
I'm lucky.
Life is good!

Morning Boys! 6:20 in Texas! Almost time to get my little "brigade" out of beds and next hour in my house will sound like inside a bee hiveNice, crispy morning, open windows, love this weather! I used to hate November and now always look forward to it. But, oh! How I wish I had another couple of hrs to stay in bed (yawning and stretching her tired bones) Where's my armadillo? (No armadillo emoji with the new ios updates, damn!)

Why not, indeed?
Don't think you've anything to lose.
Worth a try, in my opinion. :)
