Bastards
They were back this morning. Damn ants. Back in the food dishes that I had put out. So I sprayed them down with 409 and moved the food dishes to the table. Oh and I woke up an hour late. I'm one of those perpetually early people and hate to be late. I had set my alarm for 3am so that I could be up and ready to go and make sure I had done everything. I must have been so tired I set my alarm wrong because I woke up having to go to the bathroom and it was 4am. I managed to take a 7 minute shower and still skate out the door by 4:30 but I spent the whole drive to the airport wondering if I had done everything. I hate that. Made it to Sp0kane by noon and have been enjoying my day mostly. The old tenants room mate has most of his stuff out although there are a few things. I spoke to old tenant and basically said that my rental agreement was between me and you, not him, I have gotten no rent for the days he's been there for the month of July and as far as I'm concerned he's trespassing. If his stuff is not out by 5pm tomorrow and my keys aren't returned I will change the locks. We'll see. The new tenant seems fantastic. I'm really impressed with him and it will be nice to have more of my mortgage payment covered. Otherwise I'm just hoping for some relaxing time this week. It's nice to be here with people I love.

Glad you get to relax some. You deserve it.
Glad to hear this new tenant seems fantastic . Hope you get your mortgage paid.
And have a great time!
It is amazing how ants flock to cat food. You are so right - bastards.
Have a great visit in Spokane! And YAY for good tenants. I bet that is a relief.
I think you should totally go for the Mini Cooper. How cool is that you can build your own? On all the cars I have ever bought, there has always been something I had to settle for. I would LOVE to buy a car that is exactly how I want it.
If you google boric acid and ants you might find a more permanent solution than the 409. They will carry the boric acid back to the rest of the ants, killing them at the source. I think you might have to put it down with sugar or something like that. Easy peasy!
Get the little liquid ant traps. Those are the ONLY things that get rid of the ants during the summer time here.
Hope all goes smoothly and you have a wonderful time at home.
I hate when I have to rush to the airport! Glad you made it!
Good luck with the new tenant and hopefully the old one doesn't give you problems!
I'm sorry your trip to the airport was so hectic! I hate waking up late as I always try to be early for everything, so I know that feeling. I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing time! :)
Ants are such a pain to get rid of...I have the same problem. I am glad you found a good tenant and I hope you get to relax!
I hate ants with a fiery passion. Glad to see you get a tenant that is paying more rent! Have fun while you're up there!
