A Day In The Life
Stopped by my parents' after work to drop off cucumber plants and lightbulbs and KMR (Kitten Milk Replacement). Little Cupcake is already looking a lot better (eye medication working) and plumper, and is a lot more active than she was a couple days ago. That said, she still looks all wispy, like she forgot to use conditioner on her fur. She's definitely going to be medium to long-haired like her mama.
Got home to (1) discover Sushi playing with what looked like a cockroach as well as (2) the fact that the ants have finally twigged onto where the indoor kitties' food bowl is. Goddamn it all to hell on both of these counts! I may have to call Terminex and get us signed up for quarterly service. :(
After Wonderful Husband arrived home bearing ant spray and those got taken care of, I repotted about nine tomato plants and three jalepenos. Green stuff soothes me. I need to start haunting garden centers for stevia, as apparently the seeds' reputation for being difficult to sprout is well deserved. I'll have to propagate it the old-fashioned way, by taking cuttings.
Got the cat trap set up on the patio and baited, as well as spay/neuter vouchers at the ready. We'll see how long it takes for any of the ferals to take the bait....

Seriously - to help w/ the ants - Borax (laundry detergent w/ Boric Acid).
Although you'll need to be careful w/ any kittens getting to the powder, otherwise, it's just a white powder. Laying it around the edge of the rooms you're having the ant prob should eliminate them in 1-3wks. I've had to use @ a previous home, and my current apt - with great success. It dehydrates them, and upon taking it back to the nest, does same w/ their sisters.
