Didn't get as many Trick or Treaters as expected yesterday, only about 148. I missed a bunch early on because our new porch light won't come on until it gets dark outside. I saw several batches of people pass right by the door until I figured out that I had to go outside (in the cold) and stand on the step for them to know we were participating. Even then, people sometimes went on the other side of the street because they would scout out the porch lights from a distance and not even come our way. We have a whole Costco bag of 150 candy bars unopened, so we're going to ask if we can return it if we go to Green Bay Costco today. Otherwise I'll take it in to work and have the receptionists stock their staff candy dish for awhile. I only ate 1 small Kit Kat all day yesterday! My cold is definitely worse, though I don't yet need an exorcist. I'm just hoping it stays out of my throat until after tomorrow because Deb asked me to cantor with Chuck. I could also use the practice at choir on the Bach Magnificat. Food: 7:35 am 1 c Quaker Oat Squares, 1/2 c light original soy milk, 1/2 grapefruit, 99 g blackberries, coffee
