Out of sync
I continue to feel almost but not quite good, dealing with this low level, slow to clear up Thing that was going around and decided to stop here. The out of sync feeling is a problem because when I have some energy, my brain is going "Wuh?" and when I give up and go lay down, THEN I can't sleep.
Anyway, we haven't done much of major interest around here, and if we had, I didn't have the brain cells to rub together to post about it.
We are seeing some headway against the ants, throwing up barricades and also using the ant gel suggested, which I FINALLY found a local source for. The new players in the Drive Us All Madder Than Ever contest, though, are the flies. They have gotten off to a slow start this year, but their numbers are growing, thanks in part to defective doors, front and back, that we have finally made up our minds to do something about.
I had actually STARTED to try to do something about it way back in June, by looking at storm doors at the local hardware store we usually deal with. The door I thought would be best for us was, of course, out of stock, but they said they would see about getting one and let me know.
So yesterday, having become tired of waiting, I went to the OTHER store we don't patronize as much to see what THEY had. Which turned out to be CHEAPER doors, IN stock. I made some notes, planning to go back if the ones Caro mentioned seeing at the flea market would not do.
Of course, this being Lamar, minute vibrations in the aether told the BMS man we had been thinking of cheating on him with Guihen's. Because as soon as I got home, they called to say that the door I had been asking about way back when was ready for me to come pick up.
Probably this means that for the next week, at minimum, I will be fighting the never-ending battle for truth, justice, and having a house that is NOT falling down around our ears. Quite.
When I'm not out of sync. So maybe I should make that two weeks. Or three.
