OMG!!!! Bill was the MOLE!!! I was totally off! (I know, i haven't mentioned my obsession with The Mole thus far, but it was a quiet, consuming addiction...) I thought for SURE it was Heather! And i was totally dumb on the clues too. (although, they weren't that obvious unless you studied every episode is great detail over and over again, frame by frame.) okay, i feel better now...I had to get that out of my system.
I finally found where the ants are comming from. I went to make some hamburgers tonight, and when i opened my can of PAM, it was full of dead ants inside the lid! (EW!) So i looked in my cabinets above the sink, and discovered that a packet of yeast had spilled into the cabinet, and there was a line of ants from the top of the shelf all the way to it, and it was covered with them. (again, EW) so i marinaded the cabinet with ant spray (complete with country scent). WHen i came back to it later, it looked like more ants had come in, died, and fell through the hole in the cabinet that attaches to the electricity to the light over the sink. (EW EW!) So i think i will do some major spring cleaning, as soon as i get a chance, and set some ant traps. and maybe take a bath in white vinegar. (see comments from 8/3)
I guess i havne't mentioned Jeremy in a while...he was working at the deli, but he quit about two weeks ago. He turned a spontaneous "I can;t take it anymore" into a decision to pursue his dream of being a musician. Not that the dream is far-fetched...he has a degree and has been playing string and electric bass for over 15 years. And he is really good. OK, i had to tell you that, so i can tell you this: He just landed, like, 4 gigs for this month! I don't think they are PAYING gigs yet, but i guess you have to start small and build connections first. He was asked by the guy who cuts his hair (saying "his hairdresser" souns a bit wierd to me...) to fill in with his dixieland band at the fair on sunday. He agreed, and then the lead of that band asked him to play with him in a DIFFERENT band at a nursing home gig. Then, the guitarist from Band #2 asked him to play for HIS dixieland band later this month. WHew! Did you follow that? I'm not sure I did... good thing remy likes dixieland! I keep telling him he has the connections to do this full time, and it seems to be working to his advantage. He has the leads on another band, this one a praise band, that needs a bass player. He really wants to do rock music rather than orchestral, although from my view, orchestral=pension plan, stability. Rock=quick, and nothing solid or predictable for any length of time. Hopefully, it then also means Lots of MONEY, so it can be saved and lasts a long time. But that is too far out to really be able to guess. He has put off going to Nashville for a while, since things seem to be picking up in Columbus. I don't think he feels confident in his connections yet, and wants to build them some more, to be sure a trip to Nashville would be most fruitful. I tend to agree.
I made an appointment to talk to a counselor at the church. I will actually be going. set in stone. I guess i should be glad, or relieved, but i just feel like i've given up some how...i should be able to do this without any help from anyone except God Himself. I"ve gotten through other things like that! But, then i ask myself, did i REALLY get through it, or did something else just come along and overshadow it, so it SEEMED better when really it wasn't. Well, i guess i'll find out in ten days, when i go to my appointment.
I could complain about work some more, but why bother? I have to go back tomorrow regardless! i keep hoping my attitude will improve, but i think i just have an aversion to work of any kind...I just don't want to go. I think i could have a job where i sat around and watched movies all day, and i would find a reason to hate it!
ok, it's late. I'll write more later
