Ugh. I am STILL working on my apartment. Why do I have so much freaking stuff? I’ve been packing stuff in storage tubs to put out in my garage. I’ve tossed stuff that’s not worth selling or storing. I have a huge pile to donate to my church’s garage sale. And I liquidated about $1000.00 worth of video games on ebay last weekend. But there’s STILL MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Last night I got nothing done, because somehow I aquired a gnat infestation in my kitchen. I spent an hour or two swatting them with a spatula (which is now permanently a gnat/fly swatter) and contructing elaborate traps to lure them to their deaths. And by elaborate traps I mean empty bottles with a bit of red wine at the bottom. They can’t help themselves, and there’s four or five of them inside I smack the lid on and watch as they fly around in panic. Then I shake the bottle around until they are doused with the sweet nectar, and watch as they die a sticky alcoholic death. I think I got most of them last night, but I left a new trap out today. Another bottle with red wine, but the opening covered with a piece of foil, smeared with vaseline on the underside. I then cut a slit in the foil, knowing the gnats will climb in after the wine, and hoping that when they try to leave, they’ll become encased in vaseline.
I only have another week and a half to get my apartment all done and perfect, because I have company coming that weekend. So I’m not doing too bad. I mean, it’s only been, what, four months since I moved in?
