Lord of the (Fruit) Flies

Mood: tired

When I should have / could have / would have been relaxing before work at 3PM, I've instead spent a good deal of the morning battling vast numbers of fruit flies to no avail. I tried blowing them out the doors, vacuuming them with my little electric sweeper-type vac, spraying them with various chemicals.... There are so many, nothing seems to work. I did successfully raid their "nests", destroying hundreds of eggs. But that, dear reader, was the limit to my success.

This whole fruit fly infestation started because of one spoiled peach (long since been removed) that was left in the fruit dish. They're going after the ripening bananas now, so the fruit dish, fruit included, has been banished to outside.

I did get some downloading done (Supergrass and Yello), managed to do a load of laundry, and took care of the birds, cat and tadpole. But I still have to take a shower and have some lunch before leaving at 1:25PM. (The next bus would get me there just a few minutes late, so I have to leave super early. UGH!)

Anyway, this long blog entry isn't helping matters. G'bye!
