Halloween is just a few days away, and that means Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner. It’s time to panic folks, the HOLIDAYS ARE HERE!
Or, on second thought let’s not. How about we take advantage of this last weekend of calm before the storm, and cross off some non-holiday related to-do items instead? Some of them can even be fun.
First off, Saturday is National Drug take back day. It runs from 10 – 2 pm. So, get that checked off the list.
Next, take stock of how much Halloween candy you still have left for the big day. Yes, I know you already bought some, and you know why I’m telling you to take stock.
Then, there’s the pets. Grooming or vet appointments that can be taken care of now, will be considerably less stressful than if they’re happening at the same time as the human festivities down the road.
I know that it’s still crazy hot in most places, but that just means the cold is gonna sneak up on us even faster this year. Get your garden, and/or potted plants ready.
Now for some fun. Take a breath, and enjoy a free moment for yourself before it gets too cold, or the holiday schedules get in the way. Take a lunch break where you (and just you) want to go. Read a few chapters in that book you’re ignoring, or just wander through Costco one afternoon, without any particular goal in mind. Just stop and smell the roses.
Finally, plan a scary movie night for after everyone, and everything, has wound down for the night. Embrace spooky season one last time, by getting some popcorn and your favorite blanket, then just hit PLAY.
