I sympathize - we've been fighting pantry moths for what feels like forever. I suspect the mothership is in someone else's apartment though, because I've scoured the kitchen and thrown out or sealed up every bit of grain/pasta/fruit we have, and set traps, and sprayed everywhere (behind the stove and fridge, in the corner of every shelf, on top of the cabinets where we keep liquor, EVERYWHERE), and they still keep showing up. (Not in the traps, though. I'm going to try another brand to see if I have more success.)
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Mm, blueberries. Mm, Canter's. Glad you heard that cat, Consuela! Jadzia got similarly trapped in a building under renovation for three weeks and recovered completely with hydration and food, so I would guess feral cat is okay or on the way to ok.
Flan: not conquered but possibly edible. Needs to cool for at least a couple of hours before I find out. Menu: planned. Last Tango in Halifax: caught up. Grocery soipping: at phase Pantry Inventory Update. Everything else: not even started. If I could just do without sleep for a while I could probably get on track.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, aren't they, though? My dad use to talk about picking blueberries in the scrub behind the farm, and running into bears every third time or so. Totally worth it.

I think I've murderized the current mature crop. I know they got started in the recycling, and some maggots must've spilled when I transferred it to a sealed bag in the basement. I've plugged the bigger hole between basement and first floor, so hopefully no survivors will make it up and any left will die of starvation.

Blueberries for Sal was my first thought too.
I am ignoring sarameg's flies and their ugly offspring, which you might as well call gingerfonts.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And I probably say this every time, but I used to work with someone who was friends with Sally McCloskey!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I just made a batch of muffins with those blueberries, and they are SO GOOD.

It is the hour of everyone who put off the work that was due Friday and who have just realized that work is due first thing in the morning. Bah.

-t, your mind would be blown at my dentist. No temp crowns.
My place does this too. Only reason I have a temp bridge right now is to let the gums heal post extraction.
I appear to be signing a lease?! For the Park West place.It's 40 pages long!
Yowza and Yooo-Hoooo!!! Congrats!!
Today we found out that we are NOT buying a house. The sellers are refusing to fix anything, including 2 things that will prevent us getting insurance if they don't.
Poopy-headed sellers. Keep an eye on the listing through – they may realize they can’t sell without fixing, so maybe that will change?
I need to pick a color for an accent wall. These three seemed to be the ones I liked the best:
Peacock Plume! (I’m noting this before reading further – but how much fun would it be to say that name each time someone asked about the color).
You guys, she texted me back with " I'm crying. We've never had a welcome like this before!"
You are an awesome neighbor, Sara.
we just got our blueberries from him -- it's a 5-pound box, about the size of a shoebox
Oh, NOM!!!! I need to get some blueberries and get baking.
