Well, hello November! For those unfamiliar with the Zodiac, Scorpios are in full swing. I am, as you should have guessed, a Scorpio. The sign is considered to be the most powerful, followed by Leo. Scorpios are a member of the water sign group, along with Cancer the Crab and Pisces the Fish. And, while we are emotional and sentimental at times, we also have a stinger, and believe me, we do know how to sting.
Yesterday was one of those "I should have done more but didn't" sort of days. Howie and I did some lawn work, but not nearly as much as could have been done. I did some cleaning, but just some. I wrote, but only around 300 words. I took a few naps, but none of them were nearly long enough. I don't know. Perhaps it was because yesterday was Halloween and I knew that Trick or Treaters would be prowling the neighborhood. Howie and I were outside when a few went by, and they were all young.
My new neighbors took their daughter down to Lancaster so she could do her Tricker or Treating there. She's probably 13 or so, and is a little too old to hang with the little kids that hit my neighborhood. They've been living in the house for a little over a year. The last time I talked to her, she said they were waiting to see how well their son does in college, implying they might be moving back to Lancaster. She did tell me that they know the house needs a new roof and they can't afford to put one on, so who knows what they're going to do. They may try to sell. They've built up a tiny bit of equity, but not much.
Howie can climb halfway up the stair case. In another 2 weeks they will no longer be an obstacle for him.
