According to my calendar today is December 14th. Why do I still get flies in my house? I even killed a mosquito in the bathroom this morning.
When we first moved here about 25 years ago, Halloween was always a frozen and cold event. There was always ice in the storm gutter system. We used to joke about making our daughter go trick or treating as an Eskimo girl.
It’s not that way anymore. We hit sixty degrees here last week. It did freeze overnight a couple of times, but this is more like traditional October weather.
Our ski resorts are all struggling right now. Not that it’s my thing, but is an indicator. If we don’t get some kind of snowpack, the summer drought is going to be a real thing.
Our daughter sent us each a Christmas bag, but wanted us to open them right away. They were full of Lindor Truffles. We’ve all had those, or so I thought.
They went to the actual Lindor store, and the offerings are quite different. Our bag was filled with things we’ve never seen before. There are maple ones, blood orange ones, almond paste versions. My favorites so far are pumpkin spice and the shortbread one. Pistachio was pretty good, too. They’re like Bertie Botts’ every flavored chocolates.
I haven’t done crap for weeks now, and the future doesn’t look too positive either. The work world and real life are keeping me wiped out. I have leave coming between Christmas and New Year, so I might tackle some writing then.
I miss it and need to get back at it. I have some fun stories happening and want to dive into them again.
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend, free from insects if at all possible.
