Oh, that sounds great, Epic!
Ha, the first little trick or treater came by my cube and told me I was a good kitty. I don't know where she got that, but I'll take it.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We're reusing Mr. S's costume from last year, so he'll be a monkey.(Truth in advertising, we say.) I didn't do a costume today, but I am wearing both my sets of Halloween earrings.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I wore my newly thrifted brown velvet top hat over to early voting at town hall and the library, and found myself singing Halloween Carols with the local anti-Morris group who had gathered on the library lawn for a special spooky silent dance, so I feel sufficiently hallowe'ened.

Sweet Jesus Mary, there has got to be a better way to do this prep thing.
I've dealt with worse. I think the worst part is that I have to do this to myself.

My kids have both aged out of Halloween. But this will be the first year in ages we've been home to hand out candy, and there are several families with adorable littles on our block!
I swear a couple of my trick or treaters were at least 18.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Same. We get a lot of teenagers wearing the bare minimum of what could generously be considered a costume. But we overbought candy, so I don't mind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The who with the what, now? That might have to be my next activity!!
My Halloween was perfect -- parading with the band through a very festive neighborhood, right near my house, and home by 8. Also I had many fans!

AND I was supposed to be on the phone now planning a church thing for Sunday, but my partner called and said she had too much wine, so we rescheduled.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My aunt is still largely sedated, apparently because of a tear in the trachea. There's still some air in the chest cavity, so they're putting in a second drain or something. It sounds more positive today, but still.
Meanwhile, I'm having the world's most ridiculous problem, which is being unable to decide what to go see on Broadway in December. I want to see All the Musicals, but is My Fair Lady worth the ticket prices, when I already know the show? But I love Laura Benanti. But Dear Evan Hansen and Come From Away and Once on This Island and Daniel Radcliffe is in a play...

A couple of moms got in the action... they were like, "hey, everyone likes candy!" Which cannot be argued with. We didn't get many kids but we got a couple of large groups of kids of all ages with chaperones, and it was just fun to see all of them interact with each other while at the door. Candy for all!
