Death By Candy

I feel like a corpse today, which is fitting being that it is Halloween. It is one of those sudden onset bronchitis feverish not-the-least-hungry things. I look very close to my icon, or should I say, more closely to my icon.

My granddaughter is enjoying the day, which must be strange to a two-year-old. Everyone dresses in unfathomable clothing, paint their faces and sport false body parts. She was dressed as The Little Mermaid -- her favorite princess character. She had a magic wand that lights up for safety out in the darkness. What a joy she is.

But, at last it is over, and we have a huge bowl of candy left to ourselves -- fats, chocolate and sugar, mostly. Whatever diets people work on all year go out the window on Halloween like a witch on a broomstick. Plus, the upcoming Thanksgiving through New Years holiday season won't help to get the pounds back off. I guess it is important to the economy, what would happen if we all just stopped eating all that crap?

I suppose that is the bright side of being sick -- I don't feel like eating very much candy at all.
