(And a happy Memorial Day to all our American readers. Happy Being Able to Wear White Shoes Now. And all that.)
It's been a while, hasn't it? I've had a weekend of actually leaving the house, because some relatives were in town. Here's a summary of the Life of Procrastination that you've been missing out on:
1. Ant Genocide: I had a bit of a meltdown on Friday, because we were trying to get the house clean for visitors and there were still hoards of ants inside our house. They cared nothing for our bait traps. And so Chris took a big can of Raid and started spraying everywhere that he saw ants. He sprayed it all around the door, on both sides, and in every crack and cranny outside as well. We haven't seen an ant since then. I think they associate our house with death. They might even be setting up memorial outside.
2. I was strapped to a biofeedback machine. My uncle just finishing training to use said machine, and so I was his guinea pig. I think I was a little dubious, even though Chris reassured me that these things work really well (who'd believe that the scientist in the household would be less dubious?), but it really worked. The freaky thing was when it did all the tests of what was wrong in my body, and came up with a pretty complete list of my allergies. Oh, and then it showed up evidence that I've been exposed to a bunch of insecticides recently. Stan thought it was an error, and then I reminded him that I'm living in the House of Raid. Did I mention that it said my most stressed organ is my brain? My response was, "Well, yes. I'm a grad student."
3. We visited the gardens around Hatley Castle again. So pretty.
And now I launch into the week and a half before I leave the province. That means: a.) lots of origami, and b.) lots of time at the library. That also calls for some procrastination.

Uncle Stan can tell you all your allergies without shooting you with needles full of allergens? Someone get me that man's number.
How about origami in the library? Everyone loves the sound of crinkling paper!
That machine thingy sounds super cool. Yay I get to see you soon!
That is a crazy machine dude.
My word is hazrodgy. I think it is a sign.
Would it be too nosey to ask you what all you are allergic to?
Anyway, isn't it very ironic that you are doing a blog post to prove how productive you are?
Okay, enough of my stupidly obnoxious comments for now. I should go eat before my blood glucose levels plunge.
LMAO. If it makes you feel any better we have tons of dead bugs appearing every day in our house. We were having a cockroach problem (unavoidable here without careful precautions) along with various bugs that always come with an older house. So J had done 5 bug foggers and put some bug powder around the outside of the house. Every morning there's more dead life to sweep out of the house. Better dead than alive, though, right?
