The tero bait usually works but it’s hard to place it where the dog can’t get at it.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Yeah, I didn't put it in the backyard where the dogs were. The hot spot was the side of the house where I could place the bait without worrying about them.

We occasionally get ants, usually due to doors not being closed well.(frequently Mr. S holds the door open while standing on the front step)
Nah, ants will find a way. They definitely don’t need an open door invitation.

As opposed to cocky ants.
I did the dishes! I would like a medal.
I emptied the dishwasher, loaded the dishwasher, washed all the things that don't go into the dishwasher, cleaned Matilda's lunch thermos and all the coffee making items from this morning.
Did I wipe down the counters? Yes, but only in a maintenance crumbs and spots way. Not a deep clean.
Did I make the sink sparkling white by using Clorox Gel Bleach? No. Though I may later because that cleaning task is satisfying.
I have a dermatology appt this morning where there is a likelihood that Dr. Watkins will cut chunks out of me.
::sigh::
I do not enjoy that part.

Our wings are not tired.
Gold stars for the kitchen cleanup! Sorry about the chunk removal part. No fun.

Five chunks were chomped. Hopefully they all come back clean.
She also froze some other suspicious looking things.
Currently my health insurance, Anthem/Blue Cross, is having some negotiating beef with UCSF so they are not "currently partnered" which is problematic for me and Matilda since that's our insurance and that's where we get out health care.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Best system in the world!
I also hate ants, and had a brutal time with them last year. I had my cat's food in a bowl sitting in a pan of water for a WHILE.

Thanks for the reminder. If they do come back, her bowl has been *very* popular during previous invasions. Good to have a strategy in place!
