Woke up this morning to a fat, slimy worm type creature making its way across the kitchen floor.
Bonnie: What the hell is that?
Matt: Oh. Yeah. We have a slug problem. There were about six of them in the kitchen when I got up this morning.
Bonnie: Well, how are they getting in here?
Matt: They don't have a skeleton. They can get through about anything.
Bonnie: Well, you're going to have to do something about this.
Matt: I don't know if there's anything you can do. I think you just have to live with it.
Bonnie: I don't see that as an option.
Matt: I suppose I could get us a mongoose or something that eats slugs. But then you have a mongoose running around.
So besides slugs, our biggest challenge right now is that we still don't have our air freight. Apparently the customs department has more holidays than what are listed as "public". Each of us has one suitcase that we have been living out of since Dec. 19th when we moved into my sister's house. We basically wear the same outfit every four days.Not a big deal right now but I'm really going to need my clothes before I start work on the 16th.
It's starting to get warmer. We've been told that January and February are the hottest months so we're a little concerned about how this whole no air conditioning thing is going to work out. Going to buy fans today.
Do they have window air conditioners you could buy? At least one so that one room could be cool?? Or, you all could turn into nudists to keep cool, that might be fun! I hope your freight gets there soon!!! Jan (Wade)
ReplyDeleteBonnie---love reading your blog. You are so funny...I think you've missed your real calling as a humorous writer! Glad to hear about your new adventure. Keep the blog entries coming. I look forward to reading them!
ReplyDeleteIts all an adventure, right!?! I agree with Sue, I think you'd make a great humorous writer. Everything sounds a bit frustrating right now. I'm sure before you know it, it'll all smooth out and there will be less to post about (except your posts are so entertaining!) Keep your chin up!
ReplyDeleteHold up. Take those slugs and cook them with some soy sauce and water chestnuts and you got yourself a tasty meal. Them slugs are some goooood eatin.
