It is non-gratuitous, for indeed, I have been Domestic.

I came home with simple plan: have dinner, bake cake, bake shortbready thing, relax. Instead I ended up fighting another front on the War Against Bugs. afdjklsfjlskdjflsjk

Finally, now, I have achieved all of those things (damp dark dense chocolate cake, Gateau Breton, turkey enchilada; also emergency cleansings and final post-cooking kitchen cleanup, AND cleaning cat boxes), except the "relax" bit. I'm working on that. (Here is cocktail, though I'm not best pleased with it.) But I don't have much time left in the evening in which to accomplish it, and I still need to shower.

LOOK AT ME LETTING STUFF GO I'm gonna hold off on vacuuming my room until Monday. TAKE THAT, obsessive brain.

My solution for ants seems to have worked at least somewhat. I took everything in all of the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen that is either good for hiding in (like the spatula, etc drawer) or is food (like the pasta shelf) and put all those things in clear plastic boxes that ants are unable to get into. Then, we got a freestanding dishwasher. I make a serious effort to have the kitchen at least vaguely clean with no food or dirty dishes sitting around over night. This seems to have resulted in many fewer ants.
