I didn't have any trick or treaters. We rarely do in my apartment complex, but if any made it down the dark, twisty shortcut through the woods, or along the busy road, I wanted to have something on hand for them. Now the Lindt truffles are in the breakroom for my coworkers. Well, the ones I didn't snack on last night, anyway.

We had far fewer trick or treaters than normal and a lot of candy leftover.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It's cold and dark and getting out of bed seems like a terrible idea.

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

Seconded. I nominate all day as Naptime.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm always mad this whole week about the extension of daylight saving time. We should have changed the clocks last week! It would be dark in the afternoon, but at least it wouldn't be pitch black out when I (try to) wake up at a perfectly reasonable hour!

Coding and Sleeping
Just merged in an important code fix for work. I'm happy nobody in the review objected to using 'terminateWithExtremePrejudice' as a function name.

Our wings are not tired.
I have a new car! Pictures on FB. It will take me a bit to get used to the acceleration thing. As in you don't use the brake because when you stop accelerating it stops. I pretty much acclimated with driving a bit around the neighborhood. It was a 20 min drive home on the highway but I couldn't test the cruise because the car was still calibrating. Shiny!
Halloween was good. A ton of kids, and not so much kids, and adults. DH bought candy so we gave out nearly 100 bags of popcorn, many to adults, along with candy. Gave them a choice. Popcorn is very tasty. Son & wife, and her parents came over because they don't get kids. We ate stuffed orange peppers and pumpkin soup. A good time was had by all.

Yay, Laura!
All my love and respect to teachers today. ltc hasn't listened to a single thing I've said today. I imagine teachers are dealing with the same today.

I didn't wear a costume for Halloween, but I did wear my raven pendant necklace and crystal skull earrings and had seasonal stick-ons on my orange fingernails. That's about as costumed as I get. I DID see a Morticia and Gomez Addams on the street after work ... he was wearing a velvet smoking jacket, she had the long black dress; hair, makeup, etc., were right.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I second Jess' nomination. Long range forecast gives us rain, rain, oh! partly cloudy on the 10th, and rain again through the 15th. Lotsa nap-resistance.
Toddson, I would love a photo of your raven necklace. I've wanted crow/raven pendant for a while and have yet to see one that says, "Me! Pick me!"
I'm still on some NC mailing lists and I got one from Eleanore Wood this morning from Progress NC/Action about text banking and etc. It finished with a perky picture of Amy Poehler (who was a member of the Upright Citizens [comedy] Brigade) over the logo: Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can't Lose!
So I get an email from Elle Woods, played by Leslie Knope of the Upright Citizens Brigade, with a Coach Taylor tagline.
The pop culture mixture is overwhelming.
