A Little MS with a Little MSW

A Mid-Life Slant on Disability and Education


Big-Ass Skeleton

Holiday decor has flown right off the chain. Now, I don’t know how widespread these suckers are around the country, but where I’m from it is not uncommon to see a skeleton taller than a house, hanging out on the lawn. I do not think that I should go on without a visual:

I mean, it’s like we are living in ‘Honey I Blew Up the Halloween Decorations.’ What in the world. And let’s not even mention storage. Actually, let’s. If you own one of these, please chime in. Is there any buyer’s remorse going on now that Halloween is a little over a week away? Look on the bright side: if you brush up on your anatomy skills, you giant rotted-corpse owners could take the world by storm with a new side hustle: drive-up or drive-by anatomy tutoring!

So, I am a solid proponent of the ‘You Do You’ mentality, as long as you aren’t hurting anyone. And that still stands with the arrival of these 12-foot monstrosities on the All Hallows’ Eve scene. But my hope is that posable skeletons, in general, are a fad and we can all make a swift return to witches, ghosts, and goblins, and whatever else made up the haunted houses of yore.

About Me

I have Clinically Isolated Syndrome. It’s like MS without the ‘multiple’ part. My brain has one sclerosis. Sclerosi? Anyway, it’s a doozy. I am also a therapist working toward independent clinical social work licensure. I have a husband, two adult children, and two poodles. I love to read, write, and exercise. I strive to eat something green and to make someone smile every day!
