Day of Samhain 2025

The Day of Samhain is here. The afternoon outing to the International Marketplace commenced at 4:30pm. The entire mall was already packed with revelers. Parents were escorting costumed children to collect candy and other treats at the stores. Costumed adults were staging for the main event along Kalakau’a Avenue at sunset, basically a long procession of revelers walking down the promenade. There was no further interest in observing the festivities.

A little bit of time was spent loitering in the mall. Part of this Notes post was composed there. Then, more Healthy Choice® Power Bowl frozen meals (on sale) were procured at Target® for dinner. The trek back to the “old folks home” was uneventful. Of course, the heart palpitations were occurring unabated since earlier in the day.

A chance encounter with neighbor, Ignacio, occurred on Thursday at the start of the late afternoon outing. Ignacio was walking back to the “old folks home” after shopping. A brief discussion ensued, mostly about the “old folks home.” His parting advice … “Don’t get old.”

The first dosage of melatonin is scheduled for later in the evening of the Day of Samhain. The sleep issue must be resolved, or the mind is just going to snap. Of course, this is only the initial phase of geriatric degeneration. There’s lots more “fun” to come.
