Day 20,338 b

Prompt: “Goblin” Speaking of goblins, we gobbled up the last of the challah bread and potato-leek soup, along with a hearty slab of pumpkin spice cake. Relaxing on the couch watching “The Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” as we have finished “Nobody Wants This.” Tomorrow, if i can get myself out of bed before having to go to PT, we are going to make a run for those Ghostbusters doughnuts at Krispy Kreme.

Day 20,338

Prompt – “bones” I considered a dinosaur, or a skeleton dressed as Dr. McCoy. But, I just went with the good ol’ dance squad. I imagine they sing a nice little quartet, using ribcage xylophone accompaniment. As of this writing, Hurricane Milton is heading to Tampa, fluctuating between Category 4 or 5, and will likely make landfall later today, shortly after Helene just tore up Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Please be careful and help your neighbors where you can.

Day 20,336

Prompt “if i were a shape-shifter” Honestly, it’s hard to choose one shape. I love owls, I love bears, I love all sorts of critters, plants, and other stuff too. I went with an owlbear, just because the idea of a giant owl with a bear’s build is hilarious and not even a little bit scary to me, even though if it existed in reality, it would be frightening as all get-out. Remember, that’s me on the left, pre-transform at 2 meters tall.

Day 20,335

Prompt – “witch” We had chili last night, cooked up by the most amazing couldron/ crock pot cooker I know. Chili again tonight, this time on baked potato. (Last night, it was chili taco salad!)

Day 20,323

Prompt- “vampire” He’s just taking a little walk and getting annoyed with all the people who tell him, “If only he grew a mustache, he would look like E. A. Poe.” He thought the comparisons would end when Poe passed, but 174 years later… 175 years in a week. Watching the first episode of Battlestar Galactica (’78), and having a reading break on the couch on a fine Friday night. So different in high def, you can see Lorne Green’s toupee line.

Day 20,322

Prompt- “Frankenstein “

Raining today, and so many folks are still without power, thanks to Helene. I suspect that Adam here would have a hard time getting a charge because, despite the wet, there hasn’t been very much lightning in these parts. My heart goes out to those displaced, dealing with any ill effects of the storm.

I cannot get over how lucky Atlanta was in this horrific Hurricane Helene mess. The amount of damage done defies belief, and almost 2 million people are still without power. I cannot remember when anything has damaged the central South this hard. That so few people lost their lives is a blessing. I hope everyone gets their power back soon.

Day 20,331

Prompt – “a bug” It was fitting because I had to dispatch a spotted lanternfly this morning after being spotted (no pun intended) by the girls (both @maximillian_deersteak and @pearlsquirrel). Speaking of bugs, I’m off to Walmart to get my updated vaccines for flu and covid. Until later, doodle journal! #doodle #abug #giantmantis #stinktober #stinktober2024 #day11 https://www.instagram.com/p/DAoTTtKxFuX/?igsh=MXEzYTA1cHo5MWQxag==
