Thanks, guys. I'm feeling particularly PMSy today, so I doubt I am, but we'll see.

TCG is doing stuff for work tonight at home, which is rare for him, but work has been crazy busy lately. So, I'm bored, but I should probably head to bed soon anyway because Mom will be here early tomorrow.

Did it fly? That's always super unfair.

No, thank god. He just... you know... let himself out.

Eww, Nora. At least it's gone.

I felt so betrayed when I realized cockroaches could fly.

We keep getting stinkbugs in the house, and I don't want to kill them, because smashing them makes them stink (as the name indicates). So I end up trapping them in tupperware and freeing them outside, but then I get angry that the bugs think I was being kind to them, when really I was just avoiding stink.

No wonder all the stinkbugs come to our house. I'm the goddamn St. Francis of stinkbugs.

We really have got to do something about the gap between the door and door frame. Bugs just crawl right in there. They don't usually last too long, since we spray the shit out of it every couple of months (which has been done again today) so they crawl away and die.

One thing I look forward to with winter is the lack of bugs.

Yes, sj. Us too. They have been metioning the s word in the weather reports already. I'm not ready for s now yet.

Yeah, they tend to die out in the colder weather here too. We definitely have many less home invasions.

Hopefully there will be a freeze or two to kill 'em off good before the re-buggening of spring.

Suzi, I'm hoping for no freak October storms this year. I think we're in even more of a snow belt than we were in Worcester. There have been many days where it is raining in town, but I drive 10 miles down the road and there's no rain. It should be interesting.

I think of bugs as free cat toys.
