Not used to that vibe around here, huh?! Lol.

I’m trying to be positive. I want to start the week on a good note. I can’t believe it’s the last week of October already. Our Halloween party is on Saturday, and D still doesn’t have a costume. Our original plans fell through due to timing. I’m not going to stress about the party. Whatever will be, will be. I’ve also decided that whenever I’ve had enough, I’ll just go to bed, and hand the reigns over to D. Cancer perks!

I’ve been trying something new lately: whenever I feel a negative emotion brewing, I ask myself why I’m feeling that way, and I talk it out in my head. It has been quite effective. Helpful. For example, I was feeling a bit pissy for a while last night, and I realized it was because I was exhausted. Once I determined the cause, it was much easier to turn it around. It’s not fair to punish others with my shitty attitude just because I’m tired.

In other news – I reached my book goal over the weekend. 75 books read so far this year.

I’ve watched all the horror this month. My top five? I’m so glad you asked!!!

Not in any particular order:

• Sinister
• The Dark and The Wicked
• Midsommar
• Hereditary
• The Descent

Gonna finish up Midnight Mass today, since I didn’t get to it yesterday.

That new poetry book I bought over the weekend? Omg it’s giving me all the feels. That Rupi Kaur…she speaks to me.

And I just downloaded Nothing But Blackened Teeth, which I have been impatiently awaiting.

I have an MRI this afternoon. Gotta figure out what’s up with this fucking rando tumor. It hasn’t been hurting as much recently, so at least there’s that.

Spence just left. It’s always good to see him, but I won’t lie, I’m happy to have my husband to myself again.

That’s all for now.
