killing flies will be my legacy

Nov 21, 2023

We’re at that time of year in Indiana where the flies outside want to be inside where it’s warm. Because it takes Dharma FOREVER to get out the door, I stand and watch at least 25 of the little suckers swarm in while waiting. Take that times 10,000 — the number of times she wants out per day — and I figure I’m spending around 8 hours a day with a flyswatter in hand.

At least there’s one I didn’t drink. 🤢

Fa la la la la… la la la la! 🎄🎅🏼

The storage room upstairs is wonderful! Getting Christmas decorations down from an attic (where they were stored in the Seymour house) was difficult. Getting them out of a room is doable all by myself… even if it is upstairs. I know because that’s what I did today (besides killing flies). Two inside trees are done.

The dining room is similar to last year…

But woah! What a change a year made for the office/family room!

No presents under the tree yet but I do have a few I can wrap. I’m just happy that both trees are up and decorated. I would do outside tomorrow but I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to rain. I need a recovery day anyway.

Now you know: The Disney movie – ‘A Bug’s Life’ – is actually based on the Aesop Fable ‘The ant and the grasshopper.’
