From Covid to Halloween

Covid is getting closer to home. It looks like one of Fio's high school/FB friends has it, along with members of her family. Shiver.

As you know, your girl has been working like a slave to fill up cardboard moving boxes with her treasures, and this week has been devoted to the front room, i.e., the library. Since both Fio and her husband were inveterate readers, you can imagine how bare the room looks now--except for the furniture, of course, whose turn will be coming up soon.

Daughter will be coming over tomorrow to fix the headlight and low tire on the Mercedes thank goodness. Fio has many talents and skills, but automotive care isn't one of them.  But what about the Miata, you ask? Well, the dealership drove Baby Car back home a couple of months ago, and she's sat in the driveway for so long now that her batteries are dead. 

Looking through her old artwork, Fiorella is craving to paint again, but, like everything else, what she WANTS to do has to take a seat to what she HAS to do. Yep, she was brought up to be responsible. damnit! 😢

Oh--almost forgot to tell you that Fio, who put away all her Halloween decorations last year, found some old construction paper bats among the books and immediately taped them in a spiral to the front door. HAPPY ALMOST HALLOWEEN!
