I invited two sets of neighbors who I just met to my Halloween party.
Neither showed up.
I've lived here 2.5 years in the woods. I say woods because my house is surrounded by trees and there's over a mile of trees behind my yard. You cannot see the neighbors homes except the long driveway across the street. I've waved from afar at that elderly couple who
S22 met when I first moved in. The other two closest homes I have met the men. Anyway, when I got the courage to approach their porches with Halloween party invites, I met one of the wives
JCB (who was home sick). She's a friendly, blonde 15-years younger and they have two kids under the age of 10. Before I had even got home from their house that day, she had found me and sent me a Facebook friend request. They missed my party and JCB apologized as their kids were loaded on sugar and didn't go to sleep.
So last night, as promised, I took
KA out on a real date. To a brewery for dinner & drinks and a live band, before heading over to the casino for a better band and dancing. There were a lot of people in formal wear, as if a wedding reception or some gala had been going on. At one point, this tuxedoed guy, who was making a spectacle of himself, playfully taunted KA to show her moves... and I gotta tell you, my jaw was on the floor! KA used to be a radio station event dancer. I observed guys watching how her hips move.
KA asked one woman, who was wearing a prom queen sash, why everyone was dressed up and was told it was for a Dancing with the Stars YMCA fundraiser. Well, I knew from Facebook, my neighbor JCB was an organizer for the event. A couple hours later a blonde in a scintillating, sultry blue dress and tiara was on the dance floor. Attractive, but I didn't realize who it was until she yelled out
STP! and ran over for a hug. The look on KAs face was just
SHOCK! Like WTF! and then I realized it was my neighbor JCB. We talked a min and then I tried to resume my date and thought a selfie with JCB at that moment woulda been a
bad idea. I explained to KA, the neighbor is kinda a party with her girlfriends type, while H left home with their kids. There is no invite to neighbors for my Christmas party.
Today, is rainy and cold and I've had the runny nose a week. My weight is the highest it's been this year.

I will start up my blood sugar detox weight loss program again. I have a X-country 5k in a month and need to get fit! Heading to the gym for first time since before COVID to use the treadmill. Then
S19 and some bros coming over to game as they are back from vacation with
XW &
OM.
