while I’m deeply saddened and horrified by the turn of events, I and many others my age lived through this before when Nixon was elected for a second term. Keep the faith, keep your hope, and above all, support and stay close to those you love. We'll get through this together.

My hubby put on the ruana to hand out candy to the brave trick or treaters who came out on this cold and ridiculously windy night. If I’d given him a week's notice, he could’ve grown an appropriate beard. (He decided the grumpy look was in character lol.). But we were late getting home so he didn’t bother with the shirt and pants and appropriate shoes. Kids still knew him by the ruana. 😁

Reblog if you’re over 20 and still read/write fan fiction.

I’m curious!

[mjspenumbra]

and for those who may have been wondering…

…why I haven’t been able to write much this past month…

I’ve been fighting off a horrible sinus infection for over a month.

On the day I started antibiotics to finally knock it out, my hubby fractured his hand.

I just finished taking the antibiotics yesterday, and in five minutes, I start the prep for my colonoscopy tomorrow. I hate those things.

hopefully all will go well as they have in the past, but I’m a worry wart of Bruno proportions. Wish me luck!

My sister has been sending me interesting stuff from her Diaspora feed. Both are worth noting.

For the first time in about a week, it isn’t densely cloudy and threatening to rain, so we decided to take a shot at seeing if we could catch Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS before it goes bye bye. We went out to a nice dark place with a clear view to the west, and man was it COLD. Not hardened for this weather yet. Got some lovely post sunset pictures, but not a glimpse of the comet, even with binoculars. So we decided to head home and try again tomorrow night, and wait 'til it’s darker. But on the way back we paused in our local industrial park, of all places, and I decided to see if my phone could see anything. Despite a nearby streetlight, the camera once again saw what I could not. Filtered through some very high thin clouds, which gives me hope that tomorrow might be better.

Reblog if you're okay with receiving asks for backstory info on any/all of your fics.

If not all, specify which ones in the tags.

For those who may not know and are interested, a new comet may be visible to the naked eye starting this weekend. I’ve seen two extraordinarily bright ones in my lifetime, and if this one turns out to be even as bright as they’re saying, it’s something very much worth seeing. Check it out if you can. Alas, we're supposed to have clouds and rain tomorrow. We need the rain, but couldn’t it have waited one more day…?

Having family and friends who live in central and western Florida, I’m definitely going to be keeping them and anyone who lives there in my thoughts and prayers, especially now that Hurricane Milton has reached cat 5 and appears to be taking aim at them. I’m relieved that it won’t be clobbering Appalachia again (though any rain at all won’t be welcome, I’m sure). Hoping that everyone stays safe.

Ever since I heard them say "Tropical Storm Milton" I had a very bad feeling about this. An ominous name. Paradise Lost, indeed.
