So Today was pretty much the day from hell. It actually started last night... I have for some reason been experiencing nausea whenever I try to eat something( and no I'm not pregnant). I made the big mistake of trying to eat dinner and ended up getting very little sleep cause my tummy hurt so bad. So when i was awakened by my dogs this morning at 7am I was not a happy camper. I normally would have shut the door on them, but my grandmother is staying with me and my folks are out of town and she made moves like she was gonna get up so i was like "no grandma i got it".
(side note my grandmother recently and suddenly went legally blind, and is moving in with us)
so I get up to see what all the doggy fuss is about and stand in shock and horror at the sight of hundreds of ants all over my kitchen. I mean all over. they were on the counters and the floor and in some of the cabinets and on the stove, they had even attacked my dog's bed, which was why she had been making such a fuss. I grabbed the nearest bottle of spray cleaner( which was windex) and just went after them. Three and a half hours later I have had to clean out the entire kitchen and have declared war on their trail outside the house. I literally was laughing manically as i washed away their numbers with my hose. take that ants! i am an ant bully and proud of it. Anyway I'm in the middle of taking the trash and recycling out to the bins, when Kaylee my dog gets out of the house. Kaylee is part Bassit hound and if she gets out and gets a scent she just goes and nothing can get her back. three of my neighbors helped me round her up though and shortly she was back home. by the time al of this is done however I have only enough time to shower and go to work for summer arts.
Today we had two shows one for Howard Frazin at 2 who gave a music composition lecture, and the Gary Sinise (better known to you all as Lt. Dan in forrest gump) talk in the evening which has been sold out for ages. between the two shows I worked for like 9 hours with a half hour break(still to nauseous to eat) and had to deal with angry patrons who were promised reserved seats by the deans office, but the deans office forgot to tell us to reserve them.
and the whole time i'm at work I keep thinking about the ants getting back in the house and my poor grandma not seeing them and like making food covered in ants and eating it! So here is where the awesome boyfriend comes in. Adam per my request not only went to check in on my grandma he also bought ant traps and quelled the second uprising. I didn't get to see him today because of work and all the fuss, but I just thought everyone should know he's awesome. And now my tummy feels better and my house is momentarily safe from invasion and i can go to sleep and look forward to a much needed day off tmr.
