First of all, my coworkers are pretty awesome.

I didn't do anything crazy exciting for Halloween.
I subbed at the high school in the afternoon where I got to read all about medieval Halloween traditions and be questioned about my age. They ranged from being asked if I was 18 all the way to being asked if I was 21 yet and then if I would buy the kid beer. I actually convinced one student that I was really in my 40s and was only dressed as a 20-year-old for my costume.
The evening was spent passing out candy for a while and then eating pumpkin pancakes at Ihop and concluded with watching Night of the Living Dead which (amazingly enough) didn't give me any nightmares.
I'm slowly trying to work my way up to actual scary movies and maybe even a haunted house next year as I've never ever been to one.

Yesterday I took off the day to spend the whole day cleaning my attic apartment but not in any way that actually made it look any neater... My kitty cat has fleas and tapeworms so I had to vacuum everything, wash whatever could be washed and spray down anything that couldn't be. Suffice it to say, the day was not so fun and I probably killed more brain cells with the flea spray than I have to spare at this point in my life. I then set off a fogger in the room and took the cat to the vet (who has a note in her file that Harley is difficult) and got pills and topical ointment. My big accomplishment of the day was getting the pill down Harley on the second try all on my lonesome (with a little help from some fatty chicken... YUM!).

I'm not going in to sub until 11:30 today. I've been taking a lot of half days lately since I wasn't fully up to par earlier in the week. I'm pretty sure it was the 2nd graders that did me in health wise, they may be awfully cute but they sure are snotty and germy.
Today I'm doing 3rd grade which is pretty exciting but also a little scary for my immune system.
I've been hitting the Airborne awfully hard lately and let me tell you - it's making life pretty awesome.
P.S. The Target brand is way cheaper but ultimately much more disgusting tasting, however, it works just as well so I've been suffering through that lately, too.

Happy All Souls Day and belated All Saints Day.
