Let&#8217;s see, been very busy with the contraception book, laying it out, printing it out, adding illustrations, photos, etc. A lot of work to this, but it&#8217;ll be nice when the paycheque arrives. And it&#8217;s been nice to know money is coming in. Being without cash is crippling. It&#8217;s a weight on you when you have to decide if you can go out and do something because you don&#8217;t have any money. It&#8217;s been much more fun now that some is coming in. I&#8217;ve gone out and spent reasonable amounts on new clothes or things for the house that I&#8217;ve needed. Silly things like paper towels and such, but stuff that&#8217;s always needed and I was running out of. Not much, just here and there, but when something breaks or needs replacing and you can&#8217;t do anything about it, it sucks. Plus with Hallowe&#8217;en over, I&#8217;ve had a lot of fun running around and buying up decorations at 50-75% off. Something fun about the sales, and also buying things which are strictly for fun. No practical purpose whatsoever! That&#8217;s Western decadence for ya! But I&#8217;ve been hankerin&#8217; for some big of Hallowe&#8217;en fun, so I figure next year, if I can make the time, I can make the garage up as a haunted house or something for the annual scary movies, or even add a kids day for Scooby Doo or other Hallowe&#8217;en-flavoured fun. Some of the kids should be starting to hit the right ages to appreciate a bit of scary fun by then. It&#8217;s had me a bit nostalgic for the High School dance decoration stuff we did way back when. Of course, back then, Hallowe&#8217;en wasn&#8217;t the industry it is now. I remember how hard it was to find a skull model to use for the stuff we did. Now, every street corner has some sort of Hallowe&#8217;en decoration, and cheap, so this will be much easier than having to make everything ourselves. I may even endeavor to make a prop coffin. That&#8217;ll be my third. First was for high school, second was for a Hallowe&#8217;en party, and well, third time&#8217;s the charm&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[27],"class_list":["post-792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general","tag-halloween"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Halloween Decorations &#8211;
