I guess it sounds sad- I missed Halloween because I was sick.

I got home from work, set out a bowl of candy and went to sleep early. I didn’t even dress Hamish up.

I was in a haze- and not in a good Autumn evening way.

But here’s the thing:

I had just got back from Wisconsin and got celebrate Halloween last week ( the town my Granddaughters live in does events and trick or treating early)

So I went to my Granddaughters Elementary school for their Halloween Dance, the next day we did more Halloween Events and to top it off we went on a hayride and did some trick or treating:

The morning I left for Wisconsin, the plane took off on time, we got in a few minutes early and lo and behold my luggage popped up on the carousel just as I stepped off of the escalator.

Later that evening I found out that I was beyond lucky because that afternoon there were IT issues and slow downs. Had I taken off a couple of hours later, I wouldn’t have been so lucky.

In fact I’d have been SOL.

The same thing happened when I flew back to Seattle. My plane landed on time, my luggage was waiting for me- but when looked up on the board I saw to check what time it was – in very big red letters ” delayed ” started  popping up  next to several flights.

I can’t help but to feel that having a bad cold and spending the weekend in bed may not have been such a bad thing, when I consider that I really did have the luck of the Devil this Halloween.
