31 October, 2020 - Halloween Night & A Do Nothing Day

 Dear, Mom -

I thought I was going to get up and get so much done today and instead and did nothing. I don't care much, either. I thought giving my knee a full day of rest would be helpful to it healing properly. I feel better, but it still popped once this evening and made me cringe. Uff da. I'm done with getting older. I need to start figuring out a good get in shape plan. I'm going to wait until after the holidays are over, though, for the most part. My will power is so low that I won't be able to sit through a nice meal and not have dessert. What I really need to do before worrying about what I'm eating is getting meditation and stretching in. Elsa the dog stretches every time she gets up. I think she is trying to remind me, but I don't often make the attempt. Stubborness, tiredness, argh.

I hope you have had a nice week. Tonight is Halloween. Usually I would be out on the patio manning the treat bowl, spooky soundtrack, and being silly in my cowboy gorilla mask. Not this year, though. There aren't many people having kids come by. I've not seen or heard from any in our neighborhood. This stupid virus that is going around is really putting a damper on all the good stuff. I feel sorry for the little kids, but hopefully next year will come and it will be a much better atmosphere for little ghouls and boys. This year just sucks plain and simple. 

I'm going to run Elsa out for a quick potty break before the stupid race cars start up again. They are so loud this time of night and they backfire, which sounds like gunfire. Elsa gets scared and runs back in the house. I best get her out for a quick potty before I hear them start back up. I'll be right back...I'm back now. Luckily, we got our there and back quickly and she got her last night's potty done.

I'm not going to lie to you, Mom. I have been feeling a bit down. Things are just weird out in the world right now. Politicians are at a new low of being corrupt. The presidential election is on Tuesday, but some of us as citizens are thinking the current president will not leave office peacefully if voted out. He wants to pretend he is a dictator or a god. These are things I never thought I would see in my life, but it's like we are living through the second world war all over again, in a way. You are safe and fine, as am I. It is just a very strange atmosphere out in the world.

I will try and see if Joy has some time tomorrow/today for a video chat with you! I miss you tons. I wish I could have come to your place for Halloween all dressed up so I could be even sillier than usual. Ha.

πŸ’™I love and miss you with all my heart. I will talk with you very soon, I promise! Your Gal, ---Sal*πŸ’™
