I think the kids had an alright Halloween. 🙂 Shadow went off to do things with his guy friends and just informed us that he had a lot of fun.  Shaun and I took Kira and two of her friends Trick-or-Treating. She got to meet a couple of my friends (briefly), but it was still nice. 🙂

I think the highlight of my night was when I gave a kid dressed as a clown $1 to chase one of Kira's friends (who kept saying repeatedly that she was scared of clowns). I don't usually do stuff like that, but she sure was able to dish out messing with people, so it was only fair. LOL I ended up getting a BOGO deal on the clowns because another kid dressed as a clown saw her running and joined in, for free! 😂😂😂

After that we visited my mom and had Halloween dinner. Yes, that is a thing we do. Mom had cupcakes for dessert and Kira got all teary. She said it was so beautiful. 😂😂😂 I don't know what the deal is with that girl and cupcakes (this is not the first time that has happened), but her quirks endear her to us and we just love her to pieces.

Overall, it was a good night. I hope all of you guys have had fun and stayed safe, as well. Happy Halloween! 💀 🎃 🕸️

Edited to Add:  BREAKING NEWS!  I didn't get a BOGO on the clowns.  Shaun had asked the other clown to chase her, too, and they got there at the same time. So it was a team effort.  I wasn't aware before now.  His did it for free, though.  LOL

My mom today.

My mom today. Screen cap because it isn't public, but the world needs to see this. Doing Halloween right! 😃 I love this woman.

My mom and Kira...

My mom and Kira painted some dolls up for Halloween. Kira's is on the right. She did a great job!

Kira and Shaun's Jack-O-Lanterns.

Kira and Shaun's Jack-O-Lanterns. They turned out really awesome.  That was Kira's first!

Just dropped my old puppy girl off at the vet.

Just dropped my old puppy girl (Emma) off at the vet.  She's better than she was, but I can tell she still feels like crap.  🙁  I know she's in good hands, but I HATE leaving her.  I would have stayed if I thought I could get away with missing school, but I've missed a lot just due to my own self.  Blegh.  Can't wait until this afternoon is here and I can have her back home.

Nap acquired.

I'm home from school. My day has gotten a little better.

I'm home from school. My day has gotten a little better.

I talked to Dr. Kim today about what class I could take that might help me through Linear Algebra the next time I take it.  She suggested that I audit the Calculus series at JSU; unfortunately (fortunately?) I'm not the only person from Gadsden who has struggled in this way.  She thinks that seeing the more theoretical side of Calculus should help.  So, I am going to look into that.

Also, I think I might only take CS classes in the spring.  There are enough I can take that I've already met the pre-reqs for, so I can audit a Cal class (or two) and start preparing for the re-taking of Linear Algebra.  Also, instead of taking Intro to Advanced Math, which I thought would help me with Linear but actually probably won't - I think I am now shooting for taking Combinatorics as my other elective math.  For those of you who don't know, it's basically a counting class.  It probably would have come in handy to take that BEFORE Statistics, but oh well.

Anyway.  I've eaten and now I'm about to take some meds for my bones and possibly nap since my head hurts, too.  I have homework due tonight but I don't really feel like I can think at the moment, so hopefully I can do it later.  Maybe this Monday will be ok after all. Here's hoping.
