Buggy

Again, up very early. I suppose it is good and fine, because I actually slept through the night, which you know is odd for me. 

But at about 6:45, it was time to get all the way up instead of just thinking about trying to fall back asleep. 

I did my usual morning things, Dog came down to brekkie, I brewed coffee, and we went outside together.

 It was already warm at 7am, testimony of things to come. I walked over to the raised beds and things are looking well. 

Insert Bob Bencher's voice when he talks to his veggie garden:

Hello peppers, hello tomatoes. Hello cucumber that my dog stomped on. Are you doing okay today? Oh hello little lettuce thingies popping on up. Everyone is looking so nice!

I wandered over to the pansies in the planter and started to deadhead a few of them and ... weird? It looked like the bricks were MOVING but that is not possible. Closer look, with glasses on.

It.

It was ants. 

A million billion ants, all moving furiously into my planter. I looked at the wall, and it was covered. Ugh. 

The previous owners left a can of ant/roach spray for us.

 How polite? I guess this was a problem for them too? 

I went to the pantry, grabbed it, came back out and went absolutely scorched earth on these dudes. 

Absolute little motherfuckers but I am glad I saw them before they came inside.

We get bugs inside, too. I'm not sure how some of them get in, but, they are unwanted bugs that I slap with the nearest shoe. Fuckers. 

Doug is going to buy some diatomaceous earth to sprinkle everywhere. I have fond memories of his pappy spreading it all around their house in Florida to keep all the pests out. So we'll be getting some of our own as Doug becomes his grandfather. 

We had a really good day today. Every three weeks we have a big team meeting with the digital teams, and everyone gets 7 minutes to say what they did this "sprint" and what the next sprint is going to entail. My work son presents for his (and my!) team. And literally, "IT'S HAPPENING!" was the theme of his presentation with this clip from The Office.

 In in 2 weeks, we launch this new product. So everyone, STAY FUCKING CALM!!!! 

We had no other meetings today so it was a lot of help tickets and yapping with each other. He left early for a doctor's appointment, and to head to his parents' house for the weekend. So we did a Zoom and combed through some things that are resolved, I brought some new junk to his attention. We had a laugh.

Tomorrow, another School of Rock show, this time it is H on the Keys. It may be hot as hell out there, but I'm looking forward to going and supporting my little buddy.
