This warmed my heart

My wife works from home.

Yesterday, on Halloween, her work table was piled high with paperwork. She had no on-camera meetings, and she didn't have to go into work at all, but she put her Halloween top on.

I asked her why she bothered wearing that since she wasn't going to be seeing anyone at all, and she told me that she put it on for me.

It's a lovely top, the pictures don't do it justice.

She has worn this top on every Halloween for the past 30 years!!

Here's some pics. I'm just checking in. I haven't posted in a few days. Struggling badly with Shingles. No improvement. Just trying to stay alive at this point.

You all be good.

It's been a lot of years since I watched that series. But I remember enjoying it.

Just a lucky guess I think.

Maybe I'll change my name to LuckyGuess!

I hope you're not too scared!

There's nothing worse than seeing your spouse afraid. She's afraid I am going to croak.

Honestly, I don't think there's anyone else who would put up with my shit.
