The SUV got some much needed attention today, with glass cleaner applied to the inside of the windshield and a vacuum run over the grass-covered carpets in the front seats and the cargo area. I also need to organize the contents.

Dog walking is great this time of year, and the old guy seems to be good with his truncated portion of the walk. I'm still doing Essentrics and Hinge Health, but tend to stagger the days I do them during the week. I was almost every day before the knee surgery, and have to get back to that. Once I start exercising I'm ok with it, it's the getting started part that I have to work on.

Tomorrow I'll turn off my string of lights on the porch, turn off the dusk-to-dawn fixtures, and stay in the back of the house during the prime trick-or-treating time. Last year I was walking the dog during late afternoon when the kids started making the rounds and it got dramatic when the dogs at one house came charging out the door when opened to trick-or-treaters; no problems but we were all startled as they pulled their five dogs away from my three. So we will have to walk in the morning.
