HALLOWEEN. Than goodness it’s almost over! I’m so tired of cleaning up the mess in the Halloween department of the store! Over the weekend, my main job was moving all the Halloween candy from the seasonal area of the store to the front where it was selling faster. On Monday (today), the Christmas candy will be put out where the Halloween candy used to be. According to my pedometer app on my phone, I walked just a tad over 8 miles in the store on Sunday as I walked several laps around the store. To seasonal to fill a cart (we call them “L-Carts”. I was not using a shopping cart) with several boxes of candy, then taking them to the front of the store. Then condensing things down, taking candy from near empty boxes and putting it in another box of the same candy, then taking my empty cardboard boxes to the baler in the back room of the store, then going back to the seasonal department to load up more boxes of candy to take up front. I made quite a few trips that way!
NATIONAL KNOCK KNOCK JOKE DAY. Most of the knock knock jokes I’ve ever heard are pretty lame. I don’t remember ever hearing a funny one.
NATIONAL CARAMEL APPLE DAY. I think I’ll do that today. But I don’t do it where you put a stick in the apple then you coat the entire apple with caramel. I melt a few caramels, then slice the apple and use the melted caramel as a dip for my apple slices.
NATIONAL MAGIC DAY
NATIONAL DOORBELL DAY. My doorbell will not ring tonight! Before trick or treat hours begin, I will disable the doorbell by stuffing a cat toy (probably a catnip mouse) in the little box where the chimes are so it can’t ring. The doorbell scares the cats, so I always disable the doorbell on Halloween night and pretend I’m not home. Actually, most years I’m working on Halloween night so I don’t have to pretend I’m not home. But I still disable the doorbell for the sake of the cats.
