Happy Halloween!
The icon I'm using is adapted from http://mware.ca/~cdelaney/WebPhotos/dustpuppy/S3000311.JPG (via User Friendly).
I have no costume. Jodi was the Cat in the Hat, as you know, but isn't dressing up for school today.
We bought some candy last night, in anticipation of our usual lame turnout. I guess I'll bring the torch lamps near the door to simultaneously provide good lighting for photos and also make it harder for the little TOTs to see that our place is a mess.
Yeah, I'm depressed today. The Halloween party I look forward to all year was canceled because of the hurricane, I didn't get to work out all weekend, I forgot to weigh in (and I'm afraid of what it'd say anyway), I forgot to take Strattera this morning, and I haven't even felt like making a costume. I'll probably just write "BOO!" on an old T-shirt, put on some shorts, and wrap myself in my long trenchcoat so that I can be a flasher.
I've already had about half a honeydew for breakfast, plus two egg-salad sandwiches, a long rice krispies bar, and smoked almonds. If this is a protein deficiency like last time, the protein in the eggs and almonds haven't helped a damn bit. Honestly, it could be from the lack of exercise. The last time I worked out, I felt great mentally and physically -- totally sharp.
If you're paying attention, you'll have noticed that I'm still in here somewhere with my usual imagination and wit (the costume idea, the icon I made). But I'm under a real wet blanket of a mood that I wish I could get out from under. (Choke on those sentence-final prepositions, grammar prescriptivists.)

As for making it hard for the kids to see your messy place... last halloween, some kid around 8 said "your house is a MESS!!!" :P nice. good plan to use lighting to prevent that.

(The idea's from a Fark thread. My other favorite idea from that thread is caramel-dipped onions on a stick.)

I guess I'll have to grab the scale from her bathroom and leave it by the kitchen tonight. That way I'm pretty sure to remember. Hope it doesn't sour the rest of the morning.
Daylight may be part of it, actually. I adjust very slowly and grudgingly to changes in my environment unless I initiate the change, so the suddenly early sunsets and uncanny brightness at 7am could be throwing me way off balance.
