It seems kind of weird to say this, given, well, everything – but it was actually a good Halloween for us this year. Yesterday was a good day.
We started by getting the weekly shopping out of the way, and then had a good breakfast followed by a late morning nap. I spun “afternün spüki tünes” on Twitch for a couple hours (to just two or three people, but hey, I had fun with it, at least). We had lunch, went out for a walk, and then I put on my inflatable T-Rex costume and we took a bunch of silly pictures around the neighborhood. For the evening, we drove up to Queen Anne and enjoyed a drive-in horror short film festival, which had a number of fun entries, and only a couple that we didn’t enjoy.
Really, and quite thankfully, it was a far better Halloween day than we’d thought it was going to be when it became clear just how much 2020 was going to be affecting Goth Christmas.
