Autumn tickles.

I think we should make a new Halloween tradition that we put out a trick-or-treat pumpkin somewhere in the home and on Halloween night and fill it with gratitude for all the autumn things and offer tributes to the spooks and spirits and then overnight the boogiewoogies come and fill it with candy and gifts and spooky things to find on All Hallow's Day.

I have been sober for 6 1/2 months and I am already wondering if I will have any pumpkin beer around Halloween this year. I probably won't.

(I still have Great Gourds of Fire from Hopworks and Stormbreaker's Pumpkin Pedaler from last year in the fridge.)

Finley has covid, poor thing. He *just* tested positive.

I doubt I was exposed Monday night, or if so, I have fought it off.

Henna in my hair. Better late than never.

Really bad munchies even though I ate plenty. I keep trying to fend them off with watermelon slices. I should probably hydrate, also.

Packing for camping tomorrow. Hoping I can finish early so I can dance tonight at Coffin Club.

Dropped 3lbs and then gained 1. still 4lbs away from my goal. Probably will hold steady today. Camping is always a question mark, i do tend to comfort eat too may snacks but I also plan to be pretty active. With the hurt shoulder I likely won't rock climb (although it does feel a lot better today), but there are many trails in the area, and a lovely little hidden lake at the top of a 1000' or so trail that I would love to visit, even if it's not warm enough to swim in it.

I should run through the Wednesday Dance a couple times.
