Back to the basement

Today I went to the basement by myself. I figured I'd let Audrey have a break from the dusty-ness.

Well, when I came back upstairs after a couple of hours I got mer-ed at incessently! By everybody! "Where WERE you? Why weren't you here with us? Why aren't you paying attention to US? Why couldn't we go downstairs with you????"

It was exhausting! To placate them I opened the dining room windows. That made them a little happier.

However, Audrey was sitting in the corner of the left window and wouldn't let Arnold go by her to get to the right window! He tried going around her, then over her --- nothing worked. She wouldn't budge!

So I picked him up and placed him in the other window. That seemed to make him happy --- for about 10 seconds.
