"30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" Prompt: Write about something you want. Pick something that you don’t necessarily need, but would make you happy simply to have. Hey there. Happy Halloween night. We spent the evening watching horror movies and having a few drinks, which I've heard is the adult version of trick-or-treating and eating candy. Kira maybe had one too many because she fell asleep halfway through the last movie. There are so few things we actually need that almost everything qualifies for this prompt. I think of things we need as things we will certainly die without... water, sleep, food. I want the pandemic to be over. I want the election to be over. Those are two things most people could agree on right now. They’re not quite needs yet, but they’re very strong wants. This time period is very stressful, and no matter how much you try to just focus on what you can control, there is still worry there. I know people who aren’t even from the US who will be watching our election with bated breath because no one knows what will happen. As far as material wishes though, I don’t have many. I have shelter and all the basic creature comforts I need. I’m not one for shopping much so I don’t think a lot about the things I could potentially buy. Often when I do want something, I talk myself out of buying it because it’s not really necessary to have. But when I do buy things, I go pretty big. We all have our vices; mine is electronics. Every few years I refresh my tech lineup with a new computer, tablet, and smart watch. Usually not in the same year, but all of them are $500+ and it’s my little moment of splurging, I guess. This year was a new tablet that I got last week. I use my tablet for writing, drawing, bullet journaling, and some gaming. I’m using my old tablet for work now which is nice to have for notes because I lose any paper notes almost instantly. I guess because I just got that, I don’t have my eyes set on anything new at the moment. Next year I’ll be ready for a new smart watch though.
