No Bees, Give Me Butterfingers!

God help me, I'm still besieged with bees. One of the landlords has been over here two or three times to spray the swarm. Totally futile. The swarm comes back, more pissed off than ever, and a few stragglers still manage to get inside my apartment. Two of the vicious little bastards dive-bombed me while I was in the bathroom getting ready for work yesterday morning. I got on the phone and called the landlord's office to say I had had it with this and somebody was going to have to come up with a better plan. Now -- finally -- they're going to call in an exterminator to take out the nest in the vent, which is what they should have done in the first place. Now, if only I could build some fires under some other dead butts to get some of my other problems solved.

After several hot days, it's turning cooler again now. We had low 70s with breezy sunshine yesterday, and it'll be about ten degrees cooler today. This is more like it, more like Fall. I have new Fall clothes to wear, after all. Last night, there was an unexpected and pretty spectacular thunderstorm. It rained all night and is still at it this morning.

Do your Halloween candy Blogthing now and go have a wonderful Thursday! Ciao, now.





You Are a Natural Charmer



You are a smooth character. Your charm is legendary.

You're the type of person who could get away with almost anything.

People don't know much about you, except that you're complicated. You also tend to be flaky.

You can't be trusted to always follow through, but people still crave your company.

Don't kill the bees!! They're becoming extinct, then we won't have any food. I think your bees are just lost. Where's a bee whisperer when you need one!!! Blessings!

But they're yellowjackets! And ... they're flying around in my house. I don't begrudge them the outdoors and have no problem with them staying out there, but I can't keep getting them out of my bed, my shoes, my floor, etc. It's making me crazy.:)

Kill the little fuckers...

You don't want to know how many I'm killing every day, G. It would give you the willies. These landlord people need to fix that vent cover outside my bedroom window so they can't build a nest in there again. This whole nightmare has turned me into a serial yellowjacket slayer.:)

Marion said...

Oh, yellow jackets aren't bees you silly girl. They're wasps! LOL!

Serena said...

LOL, Marion. If they fly and go bzzzz while they're dive-bombing me, I tend to call 'em all bees. They must not like cold much because I haven't seen any in here today, knock on wood.:)
