If I was hoping for a gentler week, I'd be disappointed. The house seems to be overrun with infestations - well maybe I exaggerate a little, but I certainly am experiencing more creatur-age than I'd like. I'm assured hamsters can't bring fleas, but i don't really understand why the dog would suddenly get them now when all his scarily toxic flea stuff is up to date. But it's possible to play dot to dot on my back today if you were that way inclined (and who would be, really, that would be gross?). Then there's the wasps. I know it's hot and sunny and they could be entering via the door that seems permanently open so the kids can get to the pool (it's only been up a day so no creatures there so far). But the wasps were appearing before this heatwave so I suspect they're coming in some gap somewhere. I killed the first few - my kids do not like them at all having been stung when younger. But I've been told that by killing them they leave pheremones that attract more wasps, so I'm now unsure as to how to proceed.
And then there's the potential rat in the garage. At least it's not in the kitchen or what would I do then? ;) I've not seen it, so maybe it was a shadow, but someone else saw what they think is a rat. In my garage. Oh yay.
So maybe this is what happens when you break one of the 10 commandments. I'll try really hard to take a rest day God, I promise...
