The Winslow Patoka River is up to the rim and we got a little rain Tuesday night into early Wednesday of last week. The windows were opened until after the rain that al- so brought with it some cool- er temps. We went from 80s to 60s, and overnight temps dropped from the 50s to the mid-30s, back to normal fall weather. Speaking of fall, the trees still have some color, but the leaves are falling and los- ing their colors everyday now. The woods are also beautiful when you look through and see the white bark trees peek- ing through. Yards still have the red bushes and the mums are colorful with the pump- kins, and Thanksgiving and fall decorations. Some yards have decorated with lights and one tree on Brenton St. has white lights hanging down. I though it looks like icicles, but it looks like a Weeping Willow with lights. Check it out. The deer are out, so watch when you drive, because one may be standing in the road and the sound of a horn doesn't both- er them too much. Friday, November 6, Mom, Norm and I went out for a drive to Princeton, where we ate Arby's roast beef and on the way, we passed the Hwy 57 Bones family, who where handing out treats for Hal- loween and keeping their dis- tance. In Francisco, there are two speed limit signs for school, so watch your speed. All along the way, the fall col- ors of red, orange, rust and gold kept my attention, as did the fall decorations in yards. Saturday, fall colors on the way to Washington and into Otwell and Jasper were beau- tiful as well. The 157 bridge over the White River has sides small enough to look over to see the river, and I like that. Whenever we cross over a bridge, I like to see the water level and most of the bridges, like Winslow Patoka Bridge, you cannot see anything but the bridge. I miss seeing the waterfall in Winslow. Any- way, the days were great for those rides through the coun- trysides. Laura was with us on our second day of beauty. Winslow town workers were digging in the dirt several days last week as they tried to fi nd and fi x a problem on one of our town streets. I'm glad they have hip wader boots. Some houses like ours have clogged sewer pipes that have to be opened, so to all our stars, we hope our problem is small enough to fi x easily. Mom has been here since Election Day and while here, she had a visit with Aunt Jean and got caught up on more things going on in their lives. Hope to have her visit with Terri Ann and Ted before she goes home. We all hope to see each other again on Christ- mas. My six-month checkup and fasting labs were done this time, so I have to have my morning cup of coffee, but this cup was without a splash of milk. My appointment time was after 3 p.m., so water was my food and drink. I was do- ing fi ne until 2 p.m., when my stomach started to growl, but not too loud, almost a gurgle. My doctor gave me the okay for another six months, but my cholesterol is a little high. My nurse had to take my blood and she did the stick in the vein with one try and then it was drawn without any hurt at all. Laura took me to the offi ce and Mom rode along. A fter we left, we saw Nate, who knew Mom, but with his facial hair, she didn't know him at fi rst, but remembered him coming to the house. Norm, Mom and I drove through Hornady Park, where the Christmas items are set up and ready to be lit up in lights after Thanksgiving and until Christmas for everyone to en- joy. Are you all wearing your mask when you go into plac- es? I know it is troublesome to always remember to wear one, but it will help. The dis- tance we all have to do is al- so important, because you are around people you don't know and we all need to stay as safe as possible for our own family members. Pike County right now, Nov. 12, is in the orange range. As for myself, I don't want us to be in the red range like Perry County is. Everywhere we have driv- en, there are not too many people outside, except over the weekends, but that might be from the cool weather. Our town looks like a ghost town since the cool weather has come into the area. There is someone who has opened the ADM grain bins and some farmers have used them again. It's located by the rail- road tracks in the Goosehill part of Winslow. We have sev- eral local businesses open and ready to serve you. As you go into these places, keep wear- ing that mask and distance is your friend in crowds. The lights are dimming for this week. Keep an eye on fam- ily and friends. Slow down and see all the wonders in your ar- ea. Watch out for deer during this hunting season. As al- ways, smile, wave and say "hi" to everyone you see this week. On Thursday morning, my son woke me up from where I slept on the couch, T V blast- ing with election results still pouring in, neon orange dust caked around my mouth. He held up an empty party-sized bag of Doritos as he shook his head like an eight-year- old warden of our household. "Mama, I want to say some- thing," he said. Oh, no! He found the evi- dence! "I'm a little disappointed in you," he continued. "That bag was supposed to be for all of us." Guilty. "I know, baby," I said. "I'm sorry. I'll buy another bag to- morrow." "No. I think you've had enough," he said, walking away. Whether you're red or you're blue, there is one thing we can all relate to this past week: stress eating. It starts innocently enough. Sure, you're on your second dinner, but this is election night! Special occasion eat- ing is so common that Taco Bell created and trademarked Fourthmeal. And what's an election night without ice cream? Nay, an ice cream sundae! Nay, a banana split ice cream sundae! What's the point of being an adult if you can't have sec- onds? It's not your fault the election results aren't in! If anything, such chaos de- mands a third helping. This is super stressful, after all. Stress eating is not normal overeating. As a third-genera- tion buffet-lover, I'm an expert on this topic. I may have left a Chinese buffet with a loos- ened belt buckle, but I never once left with plum sauce in my hair and wantons down my shirt. And that, my friends, makes all the difference. Stress eating is more akin to competitive chicken wing eating than it is to a Thanks- giving dinner. It comes with licking your fi ngers and lick- ing the bowl. Somehow there's always food left on your chin, your shirt, your pants, but the bag has been licked clean. I say "bag" because there are no plates in stress eating. Per- haps you eat on a paper towel, but more often, it's right out of the container. Why bother with cups when you can chug from the jug? Why bother ra- tioning when you're about to consume an irrational amount of food? Stress eating is sloppier, slovenlier, and less social. And it is what I did from noon on Tuesday through... wait, what day is today? I've never been one for dig- nifi ed decorum or etiquette, but the civility from my kitch- en is so far gone that even I'm embarrassed. It may have be- gun with a simple peanut but- ter and jelly sandwich as we neared midnight on Tuesday, but early into the Wednes- day hours, peanut butter was swapped out for Nutella, and bread was swapped out for a spoon. Hydra- tion is import- ant, so when the Nutella jar was empty, I add- ed milk and, af- ter a thorough swirling and shaking, drank from the con- tainer. But it needed a little something, so I added choc- olate syrup. By noon the next day, all the sweets needed to be cut with something savory. Good thing I purchased three boxes of pizza rolls in prepa- ration for election night. I ate them off the oven tray. And so this went on and on for four straight days. You know you've been stress eating when all the food from your kitchen is gone but the only dirty dishes in your sink are spoons. As election results slowly rolled in and the days dragged on, the eating became more extreme and more desperate as the available food dimin- ished. There were spoonfuls of cream cheese with "every- thing bagel" seasoning on it. There were Goldfi sh crackers dipped in jam. There was split pea soup — which on its own should demon- strate the desper- ation. I'd feel ashamed to share this if it weren't for the on- going texts from friends equally ad- dicted to the elec- tion results, shar- ing what they were currently put- ting in their mouths. Friends spoke of melting cheese sticks and coating them in syrup. Of putting chili atop their hot apple pie. Of dip- ping French fries into their Ben and Jerry's. None of us was at her best, but we were all in it together. Perhaps this should be the new slogan for America. As the anxiety of the un- known has settled, so has my appetite. A bit. Perhaps it's time to go food shopping be- fore I forget what a vegetable looks like. Before I outgrow all my pants with buttons. Be- fore I fi nish all the kids' Hal- loween candy. Then again, the recounts are about to start. Follow Katiedid Langrock on Instagram, at www.insta- gram.com/writeinthewild.
