It's hard to believe that we are almost at the 3 month mark since I brought him and his siblings into the house. There have been some amazing ups and a very tragic down, but I still say gathering them up and bringing them inside is one of the best 'split second' decisions of my lifetime.

(26,291 posts)At last count, 9 relatives and 3 beloved cats. Well, 5 if I count the feral kittens Tuxie and Spooky Jr, that I've been feeding. Madoc is doing a fantastic job of helping me focus on joy, rather than sorrow.

(26,291 posts)His ears were still flat and I thought he had such a sad expression in his eyes. I knew, immediately, that he was going to stay with me. It's been such fun to watch him grow and gain confidence. Now he spends half his time stalking me and the other half cuddling up on my lap.

Have to tell you, I was getting worried, not seeing you and our boy.

(26,291 posts)My car is at the mechanic's and I forgot to pick up candy when my niece took me shopping. And, truth be told, I've had very few trick or treaters stop by, over the past few years so I end up eating what ever I buy. There's a huge 'trunk and treat' event that goes on, not to far from me and I strongly suspect most parents prefer those to having their kids knocking on stranger's doors.
And, I'm still ultra cautious about Covid so I'd rather not have unvaccinated people at the door, anyway.
So this year I baked some corn bread, from scratch, to go with the chili I made and just had for lunch. I also baked brownies that I'm about to top with mint buttercream.
I'll feed the ferals at 4, feed Madoc at 5 and then put together some cheese, crackers and wine to enjoy while Madoc and I sit in the dark and watch scary stuff on TV until after the end of 'official' trick or treating (8 pm). Then I MIGHT turn on some lights.
