I went to a Halloween bonfire this evening in a little town about an hour away from where I live. I was invited by a friend from a FB group I belong to, who said some others from the group would be there as well. I was looking forward to a night that was, I don't know, more in tune with the spirit of the evening.

What I got was basically a drunken kegger attended by a bunch of wannabes. The music was terrible. The majority of the people were terrible. The food was terrible. (If I'd known that I would have stopped off at a McDonalds or something and eaten before I got there!)

My FB friend who had invited me was kind of apalled by the party-goers behavior and apologized profusely, but then she went off to drink absinthe with her girlfriend. SMH.

The highlight of the evening was when one of the drunken oafs fell off a log and possibly ruptured a testicle. While everybody else was hauling his big, stupid ass to the nearest ER, I exited stage left.

I should have just stayed home and hung out with the cats while eating popcorn and watching spooky movies online.

I don't even feel like lighting my Halloween candle or doing any of my other rituals.

This has been the Worst Halloween ever. :(

I made the mistake of going by Wal-Mart this morning.

Going by Wal-Mart is always a mistake.

They've set up these shopping carts every six feet on the way into the store with orange tape between the carts, so you have to go out of your way to enter their store. Apparently, they're trying to route traffic into and out of the store.

They had an employee, some old fool, standing outside the doors chiding people for not following social distancing.

SMH.

Honestly, I find myself growing more and more irate with the whole situation. People who aren't sick wearing masks. People wearing gloves, even though the CDC says that isn't an effective deterrent to the virus. People sanitizing their groceries when they come home.

It's all just stupid and irritating and I'm ready for it to be over with.
