Well, I've purchased the candy, and the candles for the two pumpkins and am prepared for a horde, though we get more of a trickle of treat-or-treaters. We have too many stairs, as do many houses on our block, so kids go to the streets that are easier pickings. I don't blame them. I do wish I could have a teeny tiny handful of candy corn or bite sized Three Muskateers. Sigh.
I did a few errands and got more yarn this morning. When I want to eat, I knit. It works pretty well, and has the advantage that I am shoring up gifts for Christmas. I also believe it helps mitigate the arthritis in my hands. I pick colors that are lushous and tasty looking.
I'm reading a Rebecca Solnit book about Ireland, and picturing my visits and my relatives there. Next is Haruki Murakami's new opus, 1Q84. I've read the first chapter and it is terrific. I can't wait to read the rest but want to finish the book I'm reading first. I'm trying to be disciplined. The reviews for 1Q84 are spectacular. He's my favorite living writer, for sure. They are talking Nobel Prize in Literature in the reviews.
