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.
Local Lingo Moment: Some people in Baltimore call the teeny tiny ants “pussy ants.”

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.
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.

It's totally fucky!
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!

I got a dental implant earlier today (small ow), and I can never get over the fact that teeth, which are a part of the human body, are not included in health insurance, but have to have their own separate insurance, like adding a rider for my jewelry to our homeowner's insurance. Teeth are not separate luxuries, damn it. They are literally PART OF THE HUMAN BODY. There's no separate pancreas insurance, or spine insurance. Utter madness.
