OK, it's not "no LJ comment notifications" but "no personal e-mail at all". Since about noon.
That's probably about the time I accidentally inhaled the fruit fly and started a coughing fit that lasted nearly an hour, but who's counting?
And one of my cats threw up today, probably while I wasn't home, and I discovered that the ants have found it. The area is not cat food colored but dark brown and wiggling. There is a wide ant highway leading off to one side.
And in looking for how the ants are getting in to the house, Rob discovered that they're coming out from inside the wall. In one room, the painfully cheap addition, the walls don't quite go all the way down. (OK, the paneling.) The list of things we need to fix about this place apparently wasn't long enough already.
My grumpiness might be exceeded by that of these ants, who, when all is said and done, are driven to invade the den of a dangerous killer so they can fetch and carry puke in order to survive. In the lives of these ants, finding an enormous puke pile in the home of someone who will kill them is a major positive. Plus many of them are about to get exterminated, like, right now.
(See? There's always SOMEBODY having a worse day.)

And here I thought that cat throw-up was good for nothing. It's still not good for anything good, but at least you are keeping some ants fed. :)
I would complain that you haven't emailed me back, but I don't think I sent you anything. Once you get it all worked out, though, let me know and I'll randomly email you at some point in the undetermined future, just so I can say I did. ;)

I was pretty impressed that to the ants, this was bounty. I almost wanted to let them finish the job.
