Thursday

Day 3 of a long headache. Still living at home with the Halloween stuff on the walls, table, and in the front yard. We have a really cool Tim Burtonesque tree on our table. It looks kind of like one of the sculptures in the house in Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas. It's metal, painted black and shadowy and has many arms. It came with goofy, cheerful, ceramic colorful ornaments of pumpkins, spiders, ghosts, bats and cats that don't match the tree. They should be dead and dying things. That seems to be what's happening around here, but the fall colors are still beautiful.
I heard on the radio this morning that the Obama honeymoon period has been short lived. It's only been slightly more than 24 hours since we've learned he won the election. Shouldn't the honeymoon period start after his term of presidency begins? I think a honeymoon period should at least last a couple of years.
On Sunday four of us watched "The Haunting of Molly Hartley." Molly Hartley is a teenager who hears voices and whose mom is trying to kill her. There is a really cute boy who pays attention to her. The cute boy's ex-girlfriend tries to be mean to Molly. Molly is confused and terrified about the voices and her mom's seemingly constant chasing of her with a knife. Later, she is fine.
