...so...yea...

Ok today was just as boring as I anticipated. I waded through files all day. I didn't even pack a lunch because I knew that come feedin' time I would need to get out of there even if it was just to go obtain food. It was that good. 

Fast forward to the highlight/lowlight of my day: I found the moth that went missing just before bedtime last night. I haven't had to worry about moths stalking me in quite some time... too dry in TX last summer? I don't know why but it's just been a while. I forgot how nasty those little bizzos are. This sucker evaded me last night and wisely went into hiding before I could muster the courage to grab it (with a Kleenex between me and the beast of course...I'm not a crazy person). Today I got home from work/my jog and took a shower...and for whatever reason (he was waiting for me to be at my most vulnerable) he decides to come out of whatever lair he had been holed up in. So there I am, being terrorized but his fuzzy little ass while standing dripping in my towel. I was going to try to be Switzerland in this whole standoff and let him flit around dusting things until I was more prepared... but then he took it to another level. I don't know what that orangey business is that moths sometimes drip but whatever it is, it was getting all over my bathroom mirror with every misguided spasm. Well I'm having none of that... I promptly wadded up a tissue...and then some extra toilet paper (I cannot deal with the feeling of a bug getting smushed in my hand...CAN. NOT. DO IT.) and went into battle. I grabbed him off the wall like a gladiator (like a terrified 3rd grader) and whisked him over to the toiled where I drowned him (CAN. NOT. SQUASH. WITH . BARE. HANDS...OR TISSUES.). I am a heartless warrior. Let this be a warning to all the other insects out there... squatting in my living space is not going to fly with me. 

That's how exciting my day was... my highlight was assassinating something a 1000th of my size. Glad you came to read that huh?

(Note: Spiders are ok...ya'll eat the insects and you aren't annoying or dirty...except you will periodically be evicted when I clean up your webs...it's the price of living with me. Also don't let me catch you in my clothing or my bed...then you meet the same fate as the moths)
