the third floor is currently infested with hoards of ants. sick. ants are sooo crawly, and they make you feel like they're on you, even if they aren't. fortunately, i live on the second floor, which has so far been miraculously and somewhat curiously by-passed by the creepy crawlers. claire, on the other hand, does live on the third floor and is currently upstairs killing ants and wiping them off her walls with lysol wipes. as the numbers seem to be increasing, claire worries that it may be a problem that she cannot solve with just a lysol wipe-down. i left when she started talking about 'raid'.
in other news, it's beginning to look a lot like christmas, despite the fact that it's 65 outside. it's real cold in our room though. everyone is beginning to decorate for the holidays (with the exception of steven and patton, who refuse to fund their own seasonal foliage, and reportedly cannot find any mistletoe). 209/210 has four red stockings hanging on the wall in the living room, along with twinkle lights on the toomer tree in addition to it's toilet paper, and we also have a tiny christmas tree (go tapley!).
there seem to be a lot of sad things going on these days. make sure to keep your friends and family in your prayers, and make sure you "shower the people you love with love" as our good friend james taylor says.
we're all praying for you, ellie lee. He's with us in the valleys, too.
