For the last 8 years I really have enjoyed sitting in front of an open door waiting to give you free candy. No, really I have. I’ve also enjoyed having the doorbell ring while my dogs bark like mad. And I’ve especially enjoyed having a few of you come long after the official ToT time is over in hopes that I’ll give you extra candy to avoid having leftovers.
But this year is different.
This year I have a migraine and a fever of 102º. I also have no candy, and I sent the Bibles to my mother who is going to donate them to the Dove’s Nest–a Mennonite charity store in Fort Wayne. I’m sorry; I have nothing to give you.
However, if any of you would like to come in and bury an axe in my skull it might help with the whole migraine pain thing.
Just Another Pretty Farce 
I hope you feel better soon. Well, sitting with the lights out ought to improve the migraine and tell the trick or treaters not to stop by, right?
Sorry you weren’t feeling well. We didn’t hand out candy, either. At almost 10, porch light off, somebody pounded on the door. The husband looked out a window (we certainly weren’t expecting visitors), and saw that it was kids. I asked if they had costumes, and he said some of them did (kids without costumes make me crazy. Improvise something!). Shortly thereafter, they pounded on the door again and yelled, “Don’t you have any candy?” WTF?
that stinks. sorry to hear you were sidelined. hope today is better

I would have totally called the cops on them.

Hope you’re feeling better Kat.
dolphin, I was tempted to. They left just inside of my irritation threshold. 🙂
