Halloween: A Weekend Blog

A thief was amongst us!!

Saturday was the most productive that I’ve been in a couple months. I stopped living out of a laundry basket. I took care of the acorns in the driveway ( I’m sure I’ll being doing that again…). I went and hit the shopping centers. I have not been doing much at all on weekends but going out to eat and maybe grab a drink mostly I’m just at home. It was nice.

Grabbed some great sushi. I had not been to this place since pre-Covid. It hit the spot. I just sat and contemplated the bulls*** in my life. It was rather introspective.

I decided not to break tradition so I went back to the store and got another pumpkin to carve. It’s a great joy. This isn’t the first year I’ve done it alone. Last year I was alone. It still sucks. It’s fun together. But I had fun. I believe this was my best yet. I had been going fun and goofy the last few years. Had to go scary.

You know this is the first time in 13 years I’ve done this holiday alone? I’m sure the trick or treaters we built will miss us. And the parties at the house with all the kids. It’s a bummer, really. But we move on. I was looking forward. I am keeping tradition.

I got on the phone with Yvette & talked for about 2 hours somehow. That’s forever for me on the phone. Talk about Halloween weekend. How it was always an important day for Bekah & I. We had BS to discuss. I watched The Lords of Salem. It’s a good one. The only Rob Zombie movie that I care for. Witches freak me out. I recommend it. I fell asleep and awoke around 2. Decided to light the pumpkin up and enjoy it with a beer. That lulled me back to sleep.

HALLOWEEN!!!!! The dogs let me sleep in until 10 and I got up and made an early brunch of sausage egg habanero tacos. I had my moms plants to water (eek) and a movie to attended at 12:30. Dune!!

What an epic movie. I was so happy I went to see it in the theatre. It’s only the second movie I’ve seen since 2019 in a theatre. Wow. Jaw dropping. Only bummer was the 30 min preview. The amount of time I was there I could have flown to Florida.

After the movie I rushed home and got dressed. I was Lucifer. Short notice. I’ve been distracted. It worked. There was no way in hell I could bring myself to do Halloween at my house. It was too much a Bekah & I thing. A few good fold from ASU went to Jamie’s. I was the only fool to dress up. Had a little girl come up to me and stand still. She finally pointed and said “you are the villain!” Hahaha. It was fun. I needed my friends. I spend to much time alone. There is a limit to being alone.

After the fun it was Sonic cheeseburger & per tradition, Trick ‘r Treat. I must say I missed Bekah tonight. It’s hard to chunk 13 years of fun. I still had fun thanks to friends. And what a great movie. Happy Halloween!!!
