Good Afternoon Kids! I woke up with a "crick" in my back yesterday. Not sure if I did something in my sleep, or if our cold snap "attacked" me. Anyway, I'm better today, which is good, as I've got a long list of things that need to get done.

Got back from the bike qualifier an hour ago. Emptied the car, cleaned the bike, showered and laundry is going. Took a second and third, good enough to go to states in December. Having an egg cream to celebrate. Turkey tacos for dinner tonight.

Good Afternoon Kids! We're trying to get ready for the trick-or-treaters tonight. (Yes, I'll be wearing a mask...) I've had access to too many sweets already, so I'm going after NancysSummerSip's meat & cheese tray.

I finally found a big bag of dum dum pops so I can save the good stuff for us. Reese's peanut butter cups, Kit Kats and Almond joys.

We did ToT last night. Gave out Hostess Twinkies, cupcakes and Ding Dongs. Also gave out full size candy bars. I bought some of it, but DD2 and SIL bought most of it.
I hope no one comes tonight, cuz I didn't even think of that possibility. I don't have any candy. I should probably get dressed and run to Walmart, to buy some. YIKES!

I've got a variety of stuff to give out. Those who come early get popcorn balls. When those are gone, then the candy comes out. If I planned things well, DH should have plenty of leftover Snickers, and I should have a few Mounds and Reece's Peanut Butter Cups.

Trying to will myself to get in the van and hit the road to haul another load of crap East. Sharon, are you doing all this yourself? Sheesh, for pizza and beer, I woulda come out to help. Yep pretty much doing this on my own. DD and DSIL, if he isn't working, help unload on the other end. My Sister has helped me twice on this end load up, but it is basically just me. Brother is allowing me the use of the van but I think he can't figure out how to not let me use it. The van is owned by my Dad's business, my brother is taking over the business but it isn't totally his yet, I don't think. The estate is in probate and the accountant has told Mom for tax reasons to decline inheriting the business. My brother has basically run the business for several years now. I don't have an issue with him taking over the business it is just some of the other things that are going on in the background that I have a real issue with. The van is the one that my Dad drove when he needed a work type van or needed to haul stuff. There is just one or two more van loads to go and then it will be the final move out of the house. Not sure yet how I will do the final move. With the lack of help I'm receiving it probably makes the most sense to hire movers, but that will be over $2000 and I've moved most everything. I will also have to move everything out of the two storage units I've rented after I take possession of the house.

I think I'm read for the Trick of Treaters. Everyone is expecting quite a few this evening, we have gorgeous weather so it will be a nice evening to be out and so many people didn't do it last year that we expect them to make up for it this year. I took a couple books over for the Grands for Halloween this year, oh and some Gerber baby puffs for the little guy. He is just starting food.

When I was a kid, one house gave out caramel apples, but you had to get there early. You also had to tell a joke they hadn't heard before, which meant we had to get there really early. That was our first stop.

That was our first stop. When I was little, one of our neighbors would give out homemade popcorn balls. Yum! Of course, you can't give out homemade stuff now, but great memories. I've got a ton of leftover candy. If I didn't want to maintain my weight loss, I could binge. But, the scale this morning said I was at 26 pounds lost, and I don't want to lose ground. So, one piece a day, until it's gone. I'm sure DD & DS (not to mention DH) will be happy to help it "go away".

Good Afternoon Kids! DD says she's taking care of dinner tonight, which is fine with me. I've got some birthday "freebies" to claim, so I might go out & get one or two this afternoon...

Thank you Everyone! I had just mentioned to DD in the last day or two that I was interested in the new book Billie Jean King wrote, called "All In", and wouldn't you know she ran out & bought it for me. It has been a good day.

I ended up buying an autographed copy of that book because Billie Jean is one of my sheroes and role models.

Well, FIL has passed (due to stupid Covid) and now DH has to go & help plan the funeral. DH originally had a dentist appointment this morning, but of course, since he was in the Covid ward last night, they don't want him there, so guess who is going in this morning to fill the spot & begin her crown? Talk about taking one for the team...

Speaking of weekends, I started mine in Walmart tonight -- weekend will be busy, so I got going early. It is an interesting place on a Friday night. Yep. I assume this is how The People of Walmart website started. I am going to a friend's daughter's battle of the bands at the local high school tomorrow, and fitting chores and a long run in the morning around that.

I am pooped, peeps. Kids were a joy to watch at the band competition - nothing like marching band that I remember.
Good thing I had dinner prepped before I left home today. Too tired by the time I got home to do anything but cook and eat. Speaking of eating...teenagers can eat their weight in just about anything, I noticed.
