I love Halloween. I always have. This year, I flew to Orlando with family and friends, just for a Walt Disney World holiday. As we did the last time we were there, we took in a night of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween, which is just a barrelful of laughs and fun. Everybody dresses in costume, especially the kids, and we all go around collecting candy at different way stations through the Magic Kingdom.
And there it is. Candy. I am not obsessed by chocolate, which is what several friends claim. I'm addicted to sugar. Since I'm diabetic, it's not a cute thing any more.
I'm still trying to get rid of the Halloween candy because, of course, I bought too much candy. I usually get between 15 - 30 kids that night, but I buy just in case the entire contingent of grammar school kids in the Bay Area will show up. And I used to advise people with the same problem that you have to buy candy you don't like. Except that there is no candy I don't like.
My knee is perfect, by the way. No problems, no pain, not even a little stab if I get out of bed wrong. So, apparently, I get rid of one problem and move on to the next one. Diabetes, however, is always with me.
