What next? Locusts?
Christmas Eve dawned nice and sunny, and fairly relaxed. We had most everything done, didn't have to set foot in a store (or so we thought), so we were feeling a bit smug with our bad selves. Then it happened. What had been a quiet room moments before was suddenly alive with a glimmering flash of movement and reflected light. I couldn't believe what I was seeing - there were winged creatures flying out of a hole in the wall. Not just one or two, but dozens, probably would have been hundreds if Bill hadn't sprung into action, sprayed poison in the hole, drilled a few more holes, sprayed more poison, then spackled the wall shut. Of course we know this is a temporary solution, and we are probably going to have to tent the house for termites now, yes termites. Yuck.

ew, yuck! that's totally karma for one of our gifts. oh yes. apparently you were particularly evil because i would've thought flying termites to be a little over the top.
Oh no! And holy crap! I didn't even know termites could fly!
when did termites learn to fly? oh my!
Yep, termites fly. In fact, it's referred to as swarming, and I guess it's common for it to happen after a big rain. It usually happens outside though, so it's extra disturbing to have it happen in my house. First the plague of ants, now termites. I swear locusts are next.
Please tell me this was another one of your whacky dreams...?
Oh how I wish it were.
