Ew, ew, ewwwww

Soon after my roommate and I first moved into our current apartment, we discovered that we had ants. Ew. My mom and I bought ant traps and I called the management company to get them to come out and spray. It all seemed to work, because up until yesterday, I only saw a couple of ants during the entire rest of the year, probably ones that had hitchhiked their way in from outside on my shoes.

Unfortunately, it didn’t last. I’ve been out of town for the past week and a half, and I came back last night to discover that the ants were back. Worse, they were on the countertop nearest to the trash instead of just on the floor. Ewwwww. So I took out the trash, vacuumed, washed the counters and nearby wall, and rearranged the ant traps. Problem (mostly) solved.

This morning I woke up to find a scrap of toast on the floor and a SMALL ARMY OF ANTS! EEEEWWWWWW! I am so looking forward to moving tomorrow and finally having my own place.

I know I haven’t posted a trip report of eastern Europe, but I haven’t forgotten about it. It feels intimidating to sort through our hundreds of pictures, as well as put together something that’s insightful, intelligent, witty, and fun-to-read... but it’s still coming, I promise.
