It was kinda a blah day. I did a little laundry and flushed some stink bugs down the toilet. They were in the kitchen. I think they came in on one of the cardboard boxes that had some Christmas things in. I found on hiding under the flap. They will probably be an ongoing problem.
I still have my decorations up. It is actually the 10th day of Christmas. Merchants have change the timing of Christmas. The first day of Christmas is December 25th and runs through the 12th day being January 6th. January 6th is the Epiphany; the time of the Wise Men. The stores used to start putting there Christmas things out in November. This year, I have seen Christmas decorations in August. No wonder I couldn't find any artificial snow for my tree. It was probably sold out by November.
I keep my tree and decorations up through the Epiphany. Sometimes I have them up longer. They are as much of a mess to put away as they are to put up. I have to buy some tape and seal up every edge of my boxes to put back into the shed. Before I put them back in, I have to clean the shed out and get rid of the stink bugs hibernation in there. I don't look forward to that job. I guess I'll go in there with the vacuum cleaner and clean them up that way. I ought to get that guy who does the "Dirtiest Jobs." I wonder if he has tackled the stink bugs yet?
