I just thought that I would post this message instead of having to explain it repeatedly.
I have made a decision. This may be a bummer, but, I will not be having a halloween party this year. I concluded that it was all too much work, money, and pain for me to go through. It wasn't that all of you and I didn't have fun, it was a blast! but I figure that after three years, someone else can take a "stab" at it.
Another thing is that I plan to move from my parents home in a few months and I will not be able to take all the decorations I've collected over the years along with me. There is just no storage space in a trailer home. I plan to sell off all the Halloween decorations along with all my Christmas gear at a neighborhood garage sale we'll be having here in Tarpon Springs. I'll be lightening the load quite a lot, selling off lots of other things besides holiday decora.
Another thing is that I feel as though I may be loosing my other foot soon. I havn't told anyone this yet as I wasn't quite sure of it myself, I kept hoping and praying for some deliverance from this blood disorder. I have had a lot of pain in my foot, (I've been down this road before,) and it's pointing to the same result, amputation. IF this all goes down, I won't be able to throw any parties anyway. Please, please, please, please pray for my health. I'm very scared about becoming a double amputee, the first one was no fun at all, and I just don't know if I can hang in there if another one comes my way.
