Day of Plenty

Today was much longer than any day this year, by about an hour. I made full use of that extra hour by doing even more relaxing than normal.

For Halloween I left the front yard unmowed and unraked. It looks frightening. I sampled bits of the candies the kids will be getting, and I can see they have no reason to complain. Everyone loves Butterfingers, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, and Milky Ways. I sampled some candy corn, too, but the kids won't be getting that.

I need to spend some more time with my dog, who's forgotten all about me, and with my upcoming novel, which I've neglected to the point of negligence. I can do that tomorrow, when I should be busy at UCLA.

I've also managed to make up some lemonade, so it's not like I've wasted the day.
