My beloved Diva Cup leaked over my once pretty and white froggy underpants.  :'(

Ah! See, this is why those scare me. I imagined them doing that, and now to hear it actually happen.. No thanks, Diva Cup. Also, my old therapist's dog's name is Diva, so I would think of the dog every time I saw it, which would be weird.

My light bulb went out in my room. I'm in an apartment and this is the first time it's gone out on me, and the ceiling is way too high.  :pirate: Argh!

This thread has only been around for two days and it has already reached four pages! That's a reason to frown if I've ever heard one.  :(

When I was little I had a camp counselor who used to tell me, "don't frown so much, you never know who could be falling in love with your smile." 

When I moved in this here apartment at the beginning of August, we noticed the occasional little roach. We told the manager/landlord, and he sprayed for them. Despite that, we've noticed a gradual increase in the roach population, though I swearz I am generally clean. Anyway. We got raid and roach bait (eek, sorry to the vegan gods), and I've been finding some dead baby roaches (thanks to the roach bait?), but still plenty more live. Today my boyfriend called the landlord again, and he's going to fog the place on Monday. I also have finals starting Monday.
I have to clean out all the cabinets in the kitchen and the bathroom, and put all my food type stuffs in plastic bags and cover other things (and we have lots of stuff in the cabinets, as loyal patrons of Costco). After fogging, I gotta clean off all those surfaces to remove leftover fogging-ness. *Also* I've had a recurrence of sugar ants, tiny little dude who like anything carby (they take after me), and so I've moved all my open carby stuff to the fridge/freezer again (it's stuffed!), and they seem to be going for the ant bait (sorry again, vegan gods). Last time I lost a whole lot of stuff to them, including fancy cocoas, coconut, and bread mix.
These ants/leetle roaches seem to be coming out of the same area, by the cabinets/cutting board by the sink, and I think there might be a crack going into the next apartment (opposite that wall), as there's no window or door near there. I.e., even with fogging, they may just be coming through the other apartment. Or, if there's some weird crack in the foundation, even worse! But we'll see.
The tiny sugar ants have also started going in the bathroom (opposite side of the apartment - two sources?), but at that location we're arms with two now-fat little spiders. Unfortunately, the fogger stuff is probably going to take them out too :(
+ finals. Srsly.

Ah! I can handle bugs. Actually, I like to save them and release them back outside before my roommates find and squish them. Swarms, however, totally freak me out. My parents once (actually twice) had moth infestations. Their larva was everywhere, along with this sort of spiderweb type substance. Everything in the pantry had to be thrown away. Even the things in jars were ruined, as the moths would get up under the lid where it screws. Then, in my last house, we had a carpenter ant infestation in the bathroom, where there was a crack where some wood had begun to rot. Basically, these things are ants, except bigger and with wings. Eek. Nothing like going to pee at 2 am and turning the light on to see a huge swarm of flying creepers.

Reason to frown: I'm a total insomniac and no one seems to be up in the middle of the night with me.  :'(

eta- ah, it said you were on when i posted it but nowww you're gone. hope you can sleep.

:( that sucks! i hate feeling that way... we all appreciate u!

I'm ridiculously tired and somewhat grumpy, after having next to no sleep all last week due to the flea infestation and associated itchiness, Friday night we were at the in-laws place and got home really late = not good for catching up on sleep, Saturday night I was trying to be taxi for the husband's socialising but after sitting around for nearly six hours while the boys watched boxing, he still wasn't ready to go home so I left him there to find his own way home the next day, which still resulted in me getting much less sleep than I needed.  However...
