I bought some of Those Pretzels at Potters and OMG they are so good. I could eat multiple bags in one sitting.

I don't know why I eat or drink anything while watching The Battle of Starcourt. I mean, I had tea in my mouth during Dusty-buns and Suzie-poo's performance, and I really, really shouldn't have.

It is so disgusting out right now. A real November day.

Very blustery walk this morning, but it was mostly dry which I didn't expect. Got the garlic patch covered (heavy rain incoming) and currently wrapped in heating pads planning out my Christmas cookies this year.

Ugh I had to change my light to come on at 4 instead of 5.

At the end of the year I post pics of all the cats I've met on my walks. I love meeting them, but I wish they were inside waving at me from big windows instead.

The amount of stress I feel watching the Blue Jays is making me realize that I will NOT be able to handle the Canucks in the same position again. I literally can't watch sometimes because it makes me feel so uncomfortable.

I don't know! It's so weird. It's like two wires got crossed in my brain and I'm wondering if there's some media out there I saw that did it.

For some reason, whenever I hear the name Attila the Hun, I picture Jabba the Hut.

... yeah.

7 trick or treaters total, which is one more than last year and it wasn't raining last year.

Is it the rain or where you are? (Ours is both)

It is so gross and wet outside. We usually get about 5-6 kids, most we ever got was 20-something. This may be the year we get none.

I'm about 8-9ft away with a 50" - I couldn't have gone bigger because of space restrictions, but I'm fine with the size. But I'm not a gamer and I am in a room with a lot of light, especially in winter (I didn't get an OLED - got a QN50 from Samsung a few years ago and love it).

Not sure what triggered our kitty's but think it was vet anxiety (and maybe anxiety from all new foods for his triaditis). We did Feliway diffusers and gabapentin to calm him, continued with the Feliway for awhile. It hasn't recurred despite an ER vet visit and new heart meds.

I planted my garlic the other day and the soil was fairly wet, so I'm glad it dried out a bit. With tomorrow looking at maybe 100mm of rain where I am, I tarped the bed up to keep them from drowning.

The World’s Smallest Snickers which is in a hand. It is roughly the size of a quarter. Maybe.

Halloween candy. Pictures is a Reese’s peanut butter cup then the world’s tiniest Snickers ever, and a Twix which is twice the size because Snickers is cheating us.

The covid shot knocked me on my ass this year! FIrst time I've had a reaction like that in awhile, and I get shots every 6 months.

An epic fight to get the cat to take his night pills. Then I find his afternoon pill on the carpet but it not sure if it's tonight's or yesterday's. So I give him half a pill just in case and wrap it in cheese and the jerk makes all these chewing sounds and eats the cheese and spits out the pill.

My allergies are going berzerk today. No idea why. Stuffy, runny nosed, itchy nostrils, itchy eyes. I had an Allegra-D earlier but no help, did the neti pot, no help. ARGH.
