This is one of the most depressing days of the year for me. It's hard to keep it together, truth be told.
Wife is gone to Colorado, I'm here alone till Monday. It's Halloween. We have NO kiddo's in this remote neighborhood. No one has rung our doorbell in about 8 years. Even then it was rare.
My grandkids are far flung and I don't get to see them. Friend of mine just called, he was headed to honor his granddaughter's request that "Poppy come take me trick or treating". I'm very happy for him, it's his only grandchild.
Had a 'run in' with my drunk brother first thing this morning......he'd been out for 3 days on a binge. That situation is not going to end well.
So, I'll sit and flip through TV channels till 8:30 or so, and shuffle off to bed.
Not looking for sympathy......life is great in many ways. Tomorrow will be lots better.
But today is one major downer for me.
