I’ve tested negative for almost a week now and I feel good. (Good for a geezer anyway).
This weekend I am off again to a special dinner and overnight trip Saturday for M’s birthday. It’s a little early as it’s at the end of the month but sister and I will be in Vegas for the convention then so we are doing an early celebration. M is staying home with Luna!
In other news, I am so so so busy at work I think my brains are leaking out. It’s stressing me out. I have ants in my bathroom looking for water (with so many states in drought who isn’t), I’ve been trying to lose weight again, and we’re still trying to have a family barbecue (postponed when M and I got Covid) sometime in September.
I’m working my way through stories too. I don’t have time to write anything new right now though I want to. Next update will be The Mysterious One. I hope to finish that one this year finally. But I don’t have time to get to it until next week probably.
Ayi yi. At least my August flashes are done and scheduled!
Here’s a pretty picture!

All good news, all good to hear.
Will OT be done at end of August now?
I hope so.
I’m loving every word!
Most of all though I’m so excited you got through COVID mostly unscathed and are now testing negative and feeling much better!

True that. On the other hand, you can go outside and find their home and get rid of them!
And google all the ways you can eradicate them inside with what you have on hand. I already had to do that last month – and in a day they were all gone!

that’s super cool you got rid of them so fast.
I have been looking because I don’t like bug spray so I found they don’t like vinegar so we will see

Something you have readily available! Coffee grounds. Ants hate their acidity.
I also use tea tree oil drops everywhere.
Boric Acid powder works wonders!
And of course I keep diatomaceous earth on hand at all times.
All my apartment exterior walls are lined with these 4. And I’ve not seen one more ant after the day I treated with these.

it works soooooooooo well. You know the trouble I had last August being bitten in bed every dang night, and nobody could find what was doing it. And the doctor ruled out anything you’d normally blame.
So it was tea tree oil between around my mattresses that finally got rid of whatever it was. And I keep doing that and whatever it was has never returned! Yay!

(lining outside at the exterior walls. Not inside. Though I keep diatomaceous earth power on the floor behind my fridge always, And sprinkled boric acid and DE around the baseboards of my pantry.

the problem with outside the building is with our townhome we share a common building and can’t always get around the outside area

Oh I so understand the brain leaking! Hopefully things’ll calm down for you soon.
I’m so so glad you’re feeling better! Yay for recovery.
Cucumber peels deter ants. I use them when ants try to sneak into the kitchen. Of course, the cats like to play with the peels (you know it’s Ares and not my angel Athena) but they’re the reason I don’t use sprays or traps.
Enjoy the overnight. You both deserve fun times after these past couple of weeks! And the convention will be fun!
Happy early bday to M!

We don’t use poison either,
We have some diatomaceous earth around the place as we have issues with silver fishes. I’ve sprayed some vinegar water around the shower too
Didn’t know about cucombers!

I had ants in my pantry. I placed a bunch of whole cloves within. No ants now. It might be worth a try.

I’m glad you’re feeling better and testing negative. I’ve still avoided getting it. 🤞🤞
Good luck with the ants. They are quite a nuisance! Enjoy your August and September plans. Somethings to look forward to!
I’m sorry to hear that work is stressful. I fully understand that! Take time to relax and smell the roses, so to speak. 🌹🌹
Love the jellyfish picture.
