20 Years Ago, Thank You Very Much

This morning Lina was wondering how old she needed to be when she was too old to go Trick or Treating. I said "I went as a vampire when I was 15 and didn't feel uncool at all". To which she replied "Yep. And that was what, 30 years ago?"

Hence the name of the post.

On another note, Chris had an outpatient surgical procedure this morning for his chronic back pain in the big city an hour and a half to our South, so I am taking good care of him. He had injections of steroids and painkillers in his lower spine. He's currently lying on the couch watching "Scream". He will follow up with one of the Halloween (2? 5? Resurrection?) films while I take the kids Trick or Treating. I'm going to cut the T or T short this year and only hit the local churches "Trunk or Treats" since I don't feel comfy leaving Chris alone until I know all the anesthesia has worn off. And, yes, I will absolutely take advantage of the goodness of the local church folk, in spite of my Democratic, Liberal, Pagan leanings.

I hope that Chris feels better soon!

P.S. "Yep. And that was what, 30 years ago?"

Is Lina still amongst the living? ;)

Ah my own hubby endures those procedures often even after a 2-level spianl fusion. May your hubby get the relief that mine does not.

Have a blessed night

the back is a pain in the butt when its not working right... I get nerve blocks every couple of months to help with my back issues and I also get adjustments... Hope your hubby feels better soon...

YAY! Here I am! I've been reading the whole time, but I've been mute.

It's not a way I prefer to live.

Happy fall to you! And give Chris a kiss for us and tell him to feel better.
