Happy Halloween and Recovery

Happy Halloween! This is my favorite holiday. I love seeing the little kids in their costumes. I take the day off of work so I don't miss any of them. This year I didn't have my first Trick'r'Treater until after 4:00 PM! It was one little girl with her mother. She said they were they only ones out then. They really didn't start coming until around 5:00 PM this year. Some old neighbors came back into the neighborhood. They are Mexican and came with a van of other kids. We usually have them coming from other neighborhoods since it is not safe for them to go around their own areas. The second van just left. It was good seeing them again.

Why is it that you don't realize how sick you are until you start to feel better? My older nephew is getting married in December (he is way to young, but more on that later) and my cousin B and I are giving a shower this Saturday. I am making the favors. It is not much, just scented hand sanitizer. I went back to work on Monday and by the end of the day I was exhausted, but wanted to get everything picked up and vote. I managed to get the favors, Halloween candy, and lunch for the rest of the week. I just couldn't do any more, so on Tuesday I went to vote and pick up the bags and ribbon for the favors. I still have to get the shower card. I can do that after my chiropractor appointment since I am going to the mall to have my nails done. These are things that I used to be able to do in one night. I am sure that I will be back to normal soon.

I have given up getting anything done around the house this week. Once I get my nails done, I don't do anything to ruin them for a couple of days and I do want them to look good for the shower.

There's always next week.

I don't see any more kids around, but I will keep everything out for another half hour and then close up for the night. I will have some candy left over to take to work. Spoke to soon, just got a group of teenage boys. I don't mind the older kids coming. When I was in 7th grade I had a friend over on Halloween since it was a Friday. My cousin, who was in 5th grade, wanted to go Trick'r'Treating. We were just going to go to the door with her and not actually participate. We were given candy at the first two houses and asked were our costumes were. We went back to my house to put some makeup on and went back out. The next house we went to the guy said we were to old to be Trick'rTreating. You just can't win sometimes. Well I wrote for the full half hour and now have everything locked up.

My thoughts and prayers do go out to all the people on the east coast. I can't imagine what they are going through. The longest I was without electricity was 20 hours. I was able to shower before it went out and drive to work, once the lightening stopped. I was smart enough not to try to open the garage door with the metal on it when it was lightening. I went to KFC and got dinner for my neighbors and myself. I was not stuck in my house with no way out.

Good night.
