When considering what my "Most memorable Halloween" was for the Creature Week: Journal Prompt, I honestly couldn't think of one that will have a more lasting impression than this year. In fact the whole month of October has been one of personal transformation for me. Let me explain...
In the first week of October I had reached a final breaking point with my boyfriend of twelve years. I've can no long just sit idly by while someone tells me it'll be ok when they don't take any steps to make it so. I require action, joined decision making and careful treatment. I was simply not getting enough of any of those things. So I took the dive and said good-bye in the kindest way that I could.
In the following weeks my now adult daughter and I took to sorting and cleaning the basement. While he never lived with us for more than 2 days of the week, he still managed to have quite a few things that made it over here. Cleaning was something we had been putting off for WAY too long, so it's nice to finally get our claws into it.
We've also been cooking up much more healthier meals and chatting together about dream renovations we could do to make our little corner of the world nicer for us. I cherish every moment with her. I'm so proud seeing her taking a liking to cooking and organizing her once disastrous room.
As we were cleaning I found an old box full of crafting and Cosplay supplies. I used some of it to make our darling cat, Sylvester, a new catnip ghost toy. He really enjoyed it and it kept him out of the way while trick-or-treaters came to our door. Love that fuzzy guy.
We only had about eight kids this year. Mostly because of Covid news scaring everyone to stay in, but also due to the minus 10 degree weather with 80 Miles per hour wind. It's truly nasty out there, but it looks super pretty. Not sure what we're going to do with all that candy. *stuffs chocolate in mouth* XD
Also to top it all off I hit 1000 Watchers on Halloween! I think that's so cool. I want to thank-you all for your support and kind words over the 15 years of me being here. You guys keep me strong. <3 I'll be doing a FREE 1000 Watcher raffle/giveaway soon. Keep watching my deviations to see when. :3
