I gave away two bags, and then had to shut off the porch light because there wasn't any more, despite lots of groups still roaming the neighborhood. I knew in my heart that it was likely to be useless to drive out to the store for more, because if I did I'd be guaranteed not to get any more groups. Ah well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm already back into the office candy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Do I bring my leftover candy into the office or do I put it in my freezer? It's all chocolate if that makes a difference.

Good luck, Sue! I want this for you. You deserve adventures in foreign lands.

My mind says office, but my heart says freezer. Actually, my heart says belleh.

Ann, that's a ferret.
We had a lot of leftover candy -- we always buy too much, and light rain kept the numbers down a bit this year. (We seemed especially low on teenagers without costume.) Hubs cleaned out one of the veggie bins in the refrigerator for it. I think he has dreams of saving the leftovers for next year.
In other news, it's 9:15 in DC and still almost dark.

I've divided it in two: half to the office, half in the freezer.
ETA: time change is this weekend, right? I'm not entirely minding going to work in the dark, but several more months of it is going to get tiresome.

Yep, fall back! I can't wait.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Good luck, Sue!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I suck at flash photography. I would rather use natural light and push my camera way past its limits than try to figure out the proper way to light a scene.
This time of year, natural light isn't actually available at the time I want to take most of my pictures. And especially not when the time changes. I hate that.
But I have four lamps. I don't have to choose between natural light and flash, although those lights are hot as fuck and smell.
You need a very fast shutter/very sensitive light-catcher-thing, though, or subjects that stay very very still.
Fast lens kinda implies prime, and that takes a lot of choices away, or a lot of money. Also, it's hard to convince babies to stay still, but a little off camera flash can be not too traumatic for them.
