… and to everyone who celebrates: It’s been a difficult year for many of us, but I hope you all still have things to be thankful for! And for being my friends and for making a difference in my life, this year perhaps more than ever.

This year’s essential Halloween Bingo equipment arrived — thank you so much, OB!
Aren’t they just gorgeous? They’re also officially cat-approved. (Don’t worry, OB. Thy survived the inspection unblemished — otherwise there would have been hell to pay here.)
