serafaeryWas really going to take that bath tonight, but I decided I wouldn't feel all the way relaxed while all the costume and halloween decoration boxes were still strewn about the apartment, so I got to work cleaning all of that up, instead. It looks and feels so much better in here, that was getting a little hairy lol. I can bathe tomorrow night or maybe even go soaking at the wellness center after sparkling - I'll be done at 3:15 tomorrow so should be able to make the 4pm soaking time if that feels appropriate. might be kinda perfect. Or I could stay in the studio and work on my website stuff for a few hours and take a bath at home with Nightmare Before Christmas or the Adams Family tomorrow night, we'll see how I feel.
I just binged so much chocolate but I'm so underslept and stressed, it was inevitable. (And delicious! I finally dug into the last few Halloween chocolate minis. I never even got to taste the fangs and coffins and reeses pumpkins and stuff, kids took them all, as they should. I did try a ghost and something else festive.) I'll get a good night's sleep tonight and do better tomorrow. drink more water and tea and eat less of everything. time to get back off the candy train lol.
going to do a shorter asmr video and then snuggle in for the night. one silver lining of having to store my brother's lighting equipment from the halloween party in the garage is that when he comes to pick it up on Saturday, he can take all the other crap that I moved out of his basement for him when he was moving out of the house. I'll be glad to be rid of that equipment and christmas tree stand and etc., though I will need to re-box it all since I'm not willing to part with my rubbermaid roughneck storage bins - I heard rumor they will no longer be made? hopefully the goodwill will have something. I should have bought a couple of those cute halloween purple and orange storage bins while I had the chance, sigh. maybe next year.

I've been lighting candles in honor of dead loved ones, family, friends, pets. I know it's just a trick humans' brains play on us, but for a moment out of my periphery I saw P-Funk tonight, so vividly, for just a hair of a second, it was like he was right here. It does feel like a visit, when this happens. I loved that cat so. much. he had such a traumatic death that took me months to recover from, and I wasn't able to think about him fondly or lovingly for a very long time. But this year it's been easier, I've been remembering him so fondly, watching old videos - Lunar is a lot like him in some ways (though really a totally different kind of cat - the similarities are more in physical appearance than personality or behavior). P-Funk and I had such a close relationship and unspoken deep understanding of one another, an awareness and fondness that could not be measured but always felt. It's hard not to cry, even though dia de los muertos is supposed to be a celebration.
