some stuff i forgot
Mar. 11th, 2024 11:07 ami forgot some stuff in my big update!
Sarah and I have a policy that if something unavoidable ruins a weekend day we take off sick to make up for the loss. This weekend she had a weird swollen eye with a rash on it & we weren't sure if it was shingles or an allergic reaction, but we couldn't figure out what it would be a reaction to. So we took a trip to medexpress which was a whole hours long event on its own & the dr there agreed... 99% allergic reaction but a 1% chance it's shingles, so she's treating both. It's looking better already, but it was a crazy day, so we both took off today.
My boss responded to my email I sent last night about it that today was supposed to be our group staff lunch since it's spring break this week & I did forget that which is unfortunate, but! my weekend was lost! I also just looked it up and the whole university has Friday off so I could have not faked it but...... whatever, I wanted it. I don't have to justify myself lol.
( more work stuff )
Our ants are back again, same place as before. Bathroom and the joining walls in Sarah's room and by Tony's desk. I don't know what kind of ants take root in a bathroom of all places, but it's so frustrating. This is 3? 4 years in a row? They're under the floorboards so we never really see an active trail to track down origins or anything & we're on the 4th floor so trying to find where they're coming in from outside is pretty much impossible. Terro traps are up just like last year but who knows how well they'll work again. I'd love to go hog wild and use borax but not with Fennec around & at risk.
I've had worse ant invasions (2016) where they were on and in and around everything including my bed, so this isn't that bad in the grand scheme. They're not in or even near the kitchen thankfully. I'll just keep cleaning and doing my best to mitigate I guess. I just hate the bug stress dreams though.
I did my taxes! State & Federal at least & both were accepted pretty quickly. This is the earliest I think I've ever done them & it's all thanks to last year where I waited until the last possible minute & ended up writing two major final papers and doing my taxes at the same time. Not an experience I'm rushing to replicate. It's a relief to have it out of the way. Weirdly I owe money on State but I'm getting a surprisingly ok return on federal.
Last thing! We had a lovely Fool's Spring last week, and then yesterday looked like this:
Fool's Spring is the first step to true spring though I guess, so it was nice while it lasted
