Don't worry about it, ragingvortex. My husband and I stopped giving out candy years ago. It was actually my husband's decision, but I was relieved. Instead, we created a tradition of having our first fire in the fireplace in autumn on Halloween. It's nice.

It's heading towards 2:30 am and I can't sleep. Normally I sleep well when stable, but I'm kind of nervous. Something triggered me, plus at 8 am my siblings are picking me up to go with them to a suicide awareness walk. I'm nervous that the speeches will be hard for us to listen to, especially for my sister and me. Also, our neighbors were screaming loud for hours. They are university graduate students who were obviously having a party. I need not only complete darkness, but quiet to sleep. Though it is quiet now.
