Happy Friday! Just got home from Draco’s doctor’s appointment. The doctor ordered some tests, she’s trying out a new med, and gave him a referral to a specialist, so hopefully we’ll figure out what is going on with him in the next couple of months. So it’s been a productive day, but I’m tired, and I have a headache from waiting outside in the heat for transport (they arrived to pick us up 5 minutes after we were supposed to be there, so that was stressful besides). I’m going to do a video diary mostly, with Halloween/October stuff, because if stores can be selling Christmas stuff already, I can post Halloween stuff already :).
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

I’m not sure if this first one is scary or funny… or just plain weird, but who knows, may be helpful.
This next one gets a bit more on the creepy side.
And of course I have to include some Halloween music:
And then of course there’s the decorations….
And we’ll end with some more vintage Halloween music:
