I woke up today feeling crappy, and not wanting to get out of bed. While I was putting on my contacts, I discovered that I had ants crawling all over me. They had invaded the house while we were gone. Tom tried to clean them up but they were back with even more friends by the time I got home from school three hours later. I don’t know what they are going after but it’s more disgusting than they are. I’ve been battling with them all afternoon.
I have to cut some matte boards for this weekend’s christmas sale so I just got used to them crawling all over me on the living room floor. I vacuumed up the living room in hopes of detering them and tried to clean up a bit. The more I cleaned up, the more ants I found and the more crazy I got. I decided I’d just put away my things from the trip and crawl in bed with my laptop and the first 17 chapter edits I have to finish. I tried to put my suitecase away but our closet is very crowded. You have to hold things back with one hand while trying to shove new things in. While holding a very large board with one hand, I tried to stretch across the closet doing the semi splits and heave my suitcase back into it’s spot. It came crashing down on my head. It’s not serious, just your run of the mill lump but it was enough to send me whimpering to the couch. I want to start over. This sucks.
