I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds delicious, Laura.

I am hiding in my bedroom with the lights at the front of the house off because I have no candy and I have had enough of talking to strangers in any capacity for a while. I did manage to make Dr's appointments closer to my new work location, so more productivity than I might have had.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The hordes have descended! I already lost count. Maybe thirty?

At one point three different Grim Reapers were converging on me from three different directions, and I have to admit I had a moment of existential doubt. I mean, really, what would be a funnier time to show up as the actual grim reaper than during trick-or-treat?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I haven't had anyone. I have a small bag of Hershey's minis just in case. They're ok, but not my fave, so there's a chance some will make it into the office tomorrow.

Third bowl refill. I might not have overbought. I'm still quite sure I haven't underbought, but I might not have overbought. Hour one in the books.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We got two more kids, and then I gave up and put the bowl of Twizzlers on the porch. I took the Twix back in.

oooOOOoooo

hip deep in pie

I didn't get very many kids. I have a lot of leftover Wunderbar and Crispy Crunch, and I don't like either of those.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I just had the most adorable little cat and dog. The cat was in a stroller so, mostly contained. The dog, a dalmatian, was not. Ha! He wouldn't let go of the candy he was holding in order to get a new candy from me. He dropped the candy in the yard. Dad got him almost all the way out of the yard and he got loose and made a break for it, beelining straight back for me. So cute!

Also, my neighborhood really is super diverse, which makes me so happy!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I refuse to participate until I can really participate again. E not wanting to do things all out is a bummer for me and so I've just stopped. They do not have school tomorrow, so he is now at a friend's house for the night.

I am going to alternate between baseball and stuff off the TiVo, I think.

Whoa. Cinematic!

I might start watching Stranger Things S2. I've downloaded all the eps to my phone but I am a little concerned that if I start now I will have trouble stopping when it's time to go to sleep...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It was very dramatic! I'm not entirely sure it wasn't planned, but I think it was genuinely just coincidence. I am on close to my last bowl refill. I think I will make it, but just! I may or may not have hoarded a few of the peanut butter m&m's and nerds. We'll see if that stands up if I run out! The neighborhood facebook page says they generally go until 8:30, so in theory I have less than a half hour left with a full bowl, but...
