~ Trick or Treat ~

I was definitely in need of a treat, and these two did not let me down. I stopped by to see them off on their adventure of trick or treating. Smiles, giggle, hoots and howls. It was just what the Dr. ordered. I felt like I hadn't seen them in months. It was nice to hear the excited voices and receive some hugs and kisses. Hugs and kisses from these two can almost wash away all the stress and sadness.

I'm sorry I've not updated since Monday morning, wasn't my intent at all. Thanks so much for the emails of concern and good thoughts and wishes. The days just all blurred together and got away from me.

Shortly after my post the tow truck did arrive. As the guy moved my car to load it on the truck he let me know he heard nothing. I know I didn't imagine it, and driving on the thruway at 65 MPH was not something I wanted to trust to his ears and moving my car all of about 10 feet. So off it went to the shop. My son took me to work. About 1 they called to say they were just pulling it in and would call me as soon as they knew something. Several hours later I was informed it was the carrier bearings and they would be replaced and my car would be ready about 5. Everything, including the tow was covered under my warranty so I was thrilled. The inconvenience of no car was not thrilling, but I am driving safe and sound.

On the way home from the shop I stopped to see my sister. I was drained when I got home and had no energy for anything. I stared off into space and just kind of existed. A feeling of numbness had come over me. Actually, I think it's there more often then not, but I really felt it on Monday night.

Yesterday was more of the same. Work a full shift and stop off to see my sister before coming home. My son works 12 hour days regularly and I cannot imagine doing that. Long days like that are tiring on the brain cells and the body. Today it was a long day, even if I didn't stop at her house, it was well after 8 by the time I did get home.

I know I haven't been around and that I still owe some tags. I will try to catch up tomorrow evening when I get home. I am sorry for my absence and the delay, but days are not long enough right now. Thanks for understanding.

My eyes are scratchy and lids are heavy so it's off to bed. I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween and things are warm and safe on your home front. Though I haven't been by lately it doesn't mean I've not been thinking about you all and sending good vibes. I will do my best to stop by and visit soon, but right now being with my sister is top priority.

Hugs

A candle for my sister, please?
