I've been donning my pesticide hat lately. Rainy season is upon us, thus bringing the ants inside. Oh, the joys of lake livin! I called the local pesticide company requesting they come earlier than the regular quarterly schedule to spray the outside. Come to find out they overlooked our previous routine appt 2 weeks ago. No wonder Ive got a problem, but all is well no worries. We have 5 large trees surrounding the property, ants love trees. So, I have gone around room to room spraying away, now the little critters are popping up in the oddest places. I had hubby run out last night a buy the inventory of ant traps...lol Ok, maybe just 3 boxes. LOl The pesticide company arrived yesterday, spraying away. What a sight for sore eyes, I was very happy to see him.
I ran a few errands yesterday....freedom!!! We are a one car family now, so hubby usually has the vehicle. Unless I get up early take him to work. I get the car. He also does not work the weekends, so if I want I can usually do my stuff on Sat or Sun. Since, I no longer am able to work I am fine "stuck" at home. Since Oct I can count less than a dozen times Ive actually used the car. Arthritis has settled in my hands, making it difficult to grip the steering wheel. At first, I thought ...Whoa, I will be giving up a lot of my free time. I won't be able to do this or that...but with all things you just adjust. Now, I look forward to when hubby gets off work, to run our errands together. Plus, it's kinda nice not driving. Yesterday was one of the rare moments that I drove around town during a workweek. I had lunch a Panera. Oh, my word I luv the Poppy seed Strawberry salad. So, much so I made a fruit salad last night, ate some more fruit this morning.
I still didnt make it to the library, so I need to get that checked off my list. Our old acct will soon expire. I recently downloaded a ebook to my Nook. Fannie Flagg's - All girl filling station last reunion.
I luv Fannie Flagg. She is a favorite author. I would recommend any of her books.
Time to get the traps set....grr lol
We lived on lake Dora once, Sherry spent a lot of time with spiders & webs. Ants are determined creatures, must admire their resourcefulness. Take care and hope you can keep Auth(er) under control.

I have read a book of Fannie Flagg's; for the life of me I can't remember the name of it, but I did like it. Oh gosh with the ants; don't send any my way! We haven't had any in a few years which I'm relieved about! Hope you get the problem under control :) I actually like not driving and rarely drive unless I'm taking Koda for a walk :)

betty
Isn't it great how libraries have kept up with the times? I download audio books to my phone, and listen to stories as I do my chores. It makes them go so much faster.
ReplyDeleteLuv that idea...I will try it. Thx for sharing
ReplyDeleteAnts are dreadful little buggers!! I enjoy alone time to do errands from time to time, but we usually do them together as well! Like you, I like not having to drive!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm a big Fannie Flagg fan ...ever since 'the red headed girl from Opp, AL' (my hometown) in Daisy Fay...ha. Have a great rest of week! Sheila
