Zap Him Again....Zap The Son of a Bitch Again....

Yesterday, the Ant Problem reached critical mass.

After running some errands, I needed a lying-down kind of rest so I picked up my current read (Lisey's Story, by Stephen King) and nijawial was unwinding on the other couch. We briefly discussed some sort of small supper, as there was company and pizza coming later, and headed into the kitchen to see what would suit the current need.

And that's when Nija saw them.

Covering the entire wall between door and refirgirator, on the cieling, on the trash can, a teeming mass of black ants. It was solid ant-mass in some places, so thick you couldn't even see the wall.

We gaped a moment, in horrified awe, before I grabbed the spray bottle and Nija flung open the door and we went to town on those suckers. I was a woman possessed, tense, hunched, firing poisonous shot after poisonous shot. It began to run down the walls, drip from the cieling....

Then Nija and Zorak and I went out on the porch to wait for it to dry and the death toll to rise.

Afterwards, with coating of dead ant carcasses on our wall, Nija swiffered the walls and cieling and floor below, removing lingering traces of poison and the bodies.

We have a professional exterminator coming out next week.

I Did Something to my back yesterday, too, and I don't know what. I was feeling the general overall pain and stiffness that's just normal after doing anything slightly strenuous. summoneddestiny came over, and there was much hilarity and crack and pizza and Tiki brains, but then later, on the porch, I took a deep breath and was greeted with a crunching in my back. Both audible and physical. Then every time I moved slightly or breathed deeply, there was an unpleasant crunching round my mid back. Even Nija and Andrea could hear it.

Took a hot soak and slept on my stomach, but it's still feeling uncomfortable and weird this morning.

Sorry to everyone I'm RPing with, I'll be catching up later today!
