Howdy from da cave! Leftover chikin pot pie for dindin. Tonight should finish it off. I say box those stink bugs up and ship 'em to the Food Network. Somebody there will cook 'em up! šŸ˜ƒ **Spidey** coffee hour is a Whiskypalian Sacrament. It ranks right after cocktail hour. ---

Yawn. I would like for this week to be over now, please. However, I came up with an idea today that means I donā€™t have to actually _sew_ anything for my Halloween costume, and Iā€™m terribly thrilled about that. So even though the rest of the day sucked, I reclaimed a good portion of my weekend in advance. šŸ˜‰ ---

Still dizzy from a stopped-up head. Iā€™m not stuffy, but my sinuses are clearly full of allergic residue. I had to change my plans for this afternoon from ā€œhike up the mountain and take some picturesā€ to ā€œhead over to the store and get some Claritin and take a very hot shower.ā€ **swampy** , we should send the stinkbugs to that show where they give people three things in a box and they have to make an entree/dessert/appetizer from those ingredients. I forgot what itā€™s called. ---

Aaaand I picked a nice day to feel ill & stay home. I am very familiar with the area where the events in DC have occurred. It has been interesting to watch from home. ---

Home after a very busy day. Iā€™s tahred and hungry - weā€™re going out for supper. Not sure where, but weā€™ll figger that out. Thatā€™s all Iā€™ve got. Iā€™m fried. ---

I wonder if **Mangetout** has ever considered eating stinkbugs. (Iā€™m trying to find the thread where he documented his eating grasshoppers, but am having no luck.) Iā€™m working on a music arrangement. Not for ukulele/bass/accordion/kazoo band, unfortunately. ---

Bertā€™s made supper. Weā€™re home now and Iā€™m about to shed my clothes and spend the evening in a robe and slippers, just because. Yay for new Big Bang Theory! šŸ˜ƒ \*\*FCD \*\*asked me to knit some caps for the local veteransā€™ home, so Iā€™ll be churning them out for the next few weeks. ---

> [@anyrose](#): > > I played trombone in grade school. šŸ˜‰ Heh, I mis-read that as ā€œgrad school.ā€ Worked on some clay crafts. Iā€™m trying to get back to work on the music arrangement.

> [@anyrose](#): > > Compose in C Major, then use the software to transpose the finished piece into D-flat The thing Iā€™m arranging was originally in D-flat (written by someone else), and Iā€™m preserving the original key. Besides, itā€™s a beautiful key. I should go and practice the clarinet. ---
