Hello

I pulled lots of stuff out of a walk-in closet yesterday and threw away a lot, set some aside for Goodwill and – suspend belief – did some organizing. I did other stuff too. I was so pleased with myself. Smug. Now today, I didn’t too much, but it’s probably for the best because too much smugness can annoy people. (Like I care . . . hahahahahahahaha.) Okay, a little silliness here.

I’m going to be Kindling for a while and then head off to bed. I need to brace myself for tomorrow because Kendallville is having Halloween Trick or Treating that night. Yes, tomorrow night. I am pushing the job of sitting on the front steps handing out candy from a plastic cauldron to someone else . . . maybe the guy with a cast. He’s a soft touch, though, and we may have to practice with him on candy handout rationing.

Oh, by the way, East Noble has scheduled Friday and Monday as Fall Break and I will have my live-in hooligans here for the whole Halloween week-end. Dastardly school! Fortunately, Summer is in need of earning some money and has asked about jobs three times already. Soooo, maybe I can get some more stuff done without risking a spike in my smugness. Oh, yes, I must bend over my cauldron – not the candy one – and see what I can cook up for her.

I can feel my eyes getting shifty and my lips tightening into a wicked grin. My hands! They are having trouble typing . . . They want to come together and twist around each other. Say, where’s that conniving pre-cackle coming from?
