Simple, cheap and warm: Wear your PJs, put your hair up in pigtails, dot freckles on your face with eyeliner, and go as a baby/toddler. (You can wear long underwear or something under PJs for extra warmth, if needed.)
If you have a cloak of any sort, you can go as a Hogwarts character, or anything else that would wear a cloak.
Will would still have "What was I thinking?" periods in his training, and he trained for 14 half marathons and two full. In fact, for the Celtic Fest 5k we did on our anniversary, he STILL got all wound up, physically and emotionally, as an automatic "race day" response, even though it was only three freakin' miles.
Is money super-tight right now, that you're worried about the cost of transcripts? I think applying for USDA would be good, at least as a means of increasing your options, as long as you're not sacrificing shelter and food in order to pull the paperwork together.
I'm of the mind that it's a MARATHON. How can anyone feel truly ready to run 26 miles? I bet the original guy in Greece who ran it certainly didn't. He just had adrenaline and the knowledge that his people were screwed if he didn't run, run, run. :)
How you're feeling about applying for jobs is kind of how I'm feeling right now about looking for apartments. It's work and it's putting yourself out there all vulnerable and selling yourself but not seeming too desperate, and figuring out which possibility to pursue...it's exhausting.
As for Halloween - what about some big fuzzy black SalArmy sort of coat and boots and a sword, and you could go as a Night's Watchwoman? :)
The kids are kind of knight-like, Maid Marion? No, no. PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL. Because that would be kind of awesome.
With all the reactor talk I feel like you could be some mad professor like in Dr. Horrible. Lab coats are cheap and warm. If your youngest wasn't so small, I'd say be a mad professor zombie.
I'm having way too much fun with this question. :-)
