All Hallows Eve 2019
Oct. 31st, 2019 07:33 amLast night at kickboxing we were encouraged to wear costumes. I pulled out my long coat from Kung Fu the Legend continues that David Carradine wore in a number of episodes, found a fedora, had Caroline makes the brands on my arms with sharpie and wore my Green Cloud kung fu short. I came in second in costume but first in horror movie trivia and won an Amazon gift card.
Today and tonight the weather is a bit dicey with rain intermittently. The number of trick or treaters we get is going to be total dependent on the weather but I plan to get everything ready like I usually do.
Before that I need to get the comics we are giving away from where they are stored, finish sorting the young readers books and board books for the other kids. I have glow sticks for the non-readers and a little candy for the parents who use their children to get candy. I also found my box of plastic vampire teeth to give out.
I think I am going to put on my 13th Doctor outfit for the evening with my 12th Doctor boots.
I have always loved Halloween and not for the candy. It was the one day I could pretend to be a fairy or a Jedi or whatever I wanted to be. Even as an adult I like dressing up in costume and being, for a short time, perceived as someone else or something else. It is probably my favorite holiday on the calendar.
To my pagan friends who celebrate I wish you a Happy Samhain and may your year be a fruitful one. I have a list of friends who have passed this past year that I plan to give some time to with fond remembrance.
Also your first reminder that the East Coast is going back to standard time this Sat/Sun. I am so happy about this because it means that my daughter will not be walking to her bus stop in the dark. Plus I function better on standard time.
I still have quite a bit to do before I am ready for the first customer so I am going to get on that.
I am grateful for all my fond Halloween memories.
