Halloween is always a crazy day at school. Kids and staff in costumes, candy everywhere, and not much work getting done. It's surprisingly draining.
This year a bunch of us dressed up a my school's computer science teacher. This guy is a dear friend, and quite a character. He wins the teacher costume competition every year without even trying because he is hilarious. Anyway, we all decided to go as him. All that was needed was a short black wig, glasses, a polo shirt, jeans, clunky shoes, and a lanyard of keys around the neck.
It was a success. When the kids walked into my room they would say things like "oh no! another one? How many of you are there??" It was pretty funny.
On Halloween Eve, I was going to borrow my friend Mathew's house to hand out candy. He's a grumpy old man (who is younger than me) who turns off his lights and does not give out candy. I like handing out candy, but don't get to since I live in a building. Anyway, operation candy will have to happen next year, as Mathew ended up having a party to go to that night, so I stayed in with another friend, ordered Chinese food, had some drinks, and watched Halloween episodes of the Simpsons.
The rest of the weekend was so chill. I essentially hibernated. I did manage to go out to get groceries but that was it. I got a good amount of housework done, and an even larger number of episodes of the Gilmore Girls watched.
In fact, I really wish I could have another hibernation day tomorrow, but it's Monday, and it's back to the old grind. And no more pagan holiday to justify slacking off.
