Ever since the news story on here last week about the woman finding the king cobra under her washing machine I've been nervous about doing laundry. Today I have to get over it because we're out of clean clothes.

I just went a little ocd under my desk at work and zip tied all the cords. I got tired of getting my feet tangled in them and having them stick out from under the desk. Now I'm off to look up clips I can attached to the desk to hang the cords.
1) Apparently there's been a rash of burglaries and home invasions just to the south and east of us. I may have locked all the things last night when I saw the news.
2) They're going to be hosting a Republican Primary in MKE on Nov. 10th. I propose tacosforlife to go live blog it.

I heard about number 2. I would totally go to report back - you know, for (political) SCIENCE - but I have no idea how to go about getting tickets.

My grandmother died this weekend. I have a cold. My whole torso hurts from puking. I literally drove the entire length of GA on Sunday, from the TN border to the FL line. I need a nap, a hair pat, and a pint of ice cream.

I am dragging. Major deadline tomorrow means I've been up past midnight the last two nights (one of the times WAH PT sucks).
My dogs have fleas, which is really shitty timing. I desperately hope that I caught things early enough that we'll get off easy. I got flea shampoo, flea collars and diatomaceous earth and did two go-rounds with flea combs and two baths each in the past 24 hours, plus treating their favorite lay-down spots. Right now I am very grateful that we don't allow them on the furniture/in beds.
Finding the adult fleas on them gives me the heebie-jeebies, though thank God I've only found like 8 total and they're all around the neck, so the flea collars will hopefully do some good. I will END those little fuckers. Hopefully without having to resort to massive amounts of insecticides.
And of course DH is working insane hours as well, and leaving for a business trip tomorrow.

Wait, no! Take the flea collars off! They're bad bad bad news. Call your vet and talk about treating them.

I'm sorry, chica. :::hair pats::: Proboards doesn't have an ice cream emoticon, so here is a martini! :drink:

Thanks, pixy. I was going to give the collars a few days, because it looked like they were a safer option than the OTC packets that I definitely know I want to avoid.
I'll give the vet a call. I was hoping to DIY and mostly focus on physical removal and DE, but I'll see what she recommends.

I forgot to tell you guys about my weekend! I surprised my H with a trip to Western PA for our anniversary. We went to Fallingwater and we had dinner in Pittsburgh. The trees were gorgeous. Fallingwater was amazing. We did not even see any Confederate flags!
Also, re: spiders in the car. Last Thursday night my H and I were driving to a meeting, and I screamed and pulled over (barely) and flung open the car door because there was a cricket just hanging out on the inside of the driver's side window. My husband said, "Just open the window and brush him out with your hand." Touch it with my hand? Uh, no.

I'm sorry chilly
Why are certain things so expensive on amazon? I am getting a few things and thought I'd add on floss, since I forgot it at Target yesterday. It's $0.97 there, but the cheapest online is $3!
I just made a woman happy cry. One of our elderly clients passed away and she left a portion of her estate to her church. I called the church business office today to get the mailing address and TIN and she asked how much the donation was and when I told her she got choked up.
I'm currently listening to episode 3 of the podcast Limetown. It's fiction. Some of the reviews are comparing it to Serial but to me it's really similar to the audio book of World War Z. I like it a lot so far. I think I might start listening to more fictional podcasts. Any one have recommendations?
Did you know that you can purchase ping pong balls in a gross? Do you know how long it takes to attach eyes to a gross of ping pong balls?
Related: H and I had a (minor) argument as to weather or not I was making up a gross.
This math teacher's daughter has known about a gross for a long time. I used to make fun of kids in elementary when they said, "Eww, gross!" and I'd respond like my dad, "There's 144 of what, where?!" then laugh.
