We got off the pot and decorated for real!!
Yesterday, we stumbled upon five unopened containers of Halloween decorations, so after a brief trip to the dungeon (aka the local gym/workout facility), we started transforming our home into a haunted house. The only scary part was realizing we still had cobwebs from last year’s decorations!
Today was great in the dungeon, although I accidentally pulled a back muscle working in the garden Sunday. I was so sore that I couldn’t even attempt my usual routine. Anthony took me to his office area, got me up on a table, and worked on the left side for an hour. I felt like I had just completed an extreme workout without lifting a finger! It will take a few days for my muscles to regain shape, but at least now I have a great excuse to ask for extra help carrying groceries!
After a quick visit to the bagel store, where we replaced the calories we burnt off at the gym, we began emptying boxes and becoming amazed at the goodies we had put away last year,
The spiders are a new addition!
We loved the oldies but goodies.
It is incredible what a glue bottle will do when repairing the oldies!
We worked all afternoon, and finally, at 5:30 pm, we declared victory and went to Jeffs to pick up dinner. Say what? Yes, Jeff called and said, “Please come and help eat the goodies from the party; the frig is overloaded!” We visited for a while and then returned home, where Mary had a wonderful dinner.
We watched “The Expendables,” which can be described in one word: seventeen gunshots and a quart of blood every three minutes. Since Mary and I are adults (well, she is for sure), we understood it was all stylized fiction. I am troubled by our youth, who can’t discern the difference between reality and fiction!
The Expendables is an American ensemble action thriller franchise conceived by David Callaham, spanning a film series, the first three co-written by Sylvester Stallone and additional media. The films star an ensemble cast, notably Stallone and Jason Statham, and are produced by Avi Lerner and Kevin King-Templeton. The film series, an acknowledgment of former blockbuster action films made in the 1980s and 1990s, also pays homage to action stars of former decades and the more recent stars in action. The series consists of the films The Expendables (2010), The Expendables 2 (2012), The Expendables 3 (2014), Expend4bles (2023), and an ongoing comic book series, The Expendables Go to Hell (2021). Though criticism about plot and dialogue between characters has been expressed, critics praised the use of comic relief in between actions.
After watching the movie, we were exhausted and headed to bed around 8:30 pm. It was a long day!
