Busy and Amused

[przed]

It's been a hectic last few days. In no particular order, I've

Arranged the posting schedule for the takethatslash Big Bang

Set up and sent out the templates for said Big Bang

Did one last, I-promise-this-is-the-last-time edit of my TT Big Bang story

Taken Ros for an all day outing to the Royal Winter Fair, including the horse show

Pulled everything out of our linen closet, washed all the shelves and walls and got half through laundering everything in the closet as part of an ongoing moth eradication scheme

Finally did the 2011 taxes for me and the Sweetie (bad!Zed) which kept me up far later that I was hoping last night because as I was just about to finish, the online service I was using suddenly lost all the income data I'd entered, aaaiiieeeee

Taken Ros, and me, to the dentist for our usual check ups

There are still mounds of sheets, towels and sweaters to wash before they can go back into the definitely moth-free closet, and too much work time today was spent in a meeting that 99% had nothing to do with me, but then I was poking around on Twitter, noticed Howard Donald had put up a new tweet, and it put a smile on my face for the rest of the day.




Oh, Howard. :D

I also have moth problems, particularly in Portugal, and despite my LJ name, I am less than well-disposed towards the clothes moth variety!! Good luck!

We'd just started seeing moths around the house the last few months, but I've finally decided to stomp on them before they get worse. I cleaned out the laundry room, which is where they seemed to have started since I found a bunch, a couple of weeks ago. The linen closet didn't seem to have any yet, but I'm taking no chances since it's right across from the laundry room. Then it's on to our bedroom closets. That's going to be a big pile of no fun, but must be done.

I do hope your moth problems are under control.

For the time being I'm storing all bedding in airtight trunks. Clothes are more of a problem and one of my husband's sweaters suffered. I've been looking at some moth repellant balls for drawers and rings for coathangers. I think in the long run those have to be the best way to go. I remember even in her new and incredibly clean bungalow my mother had moth problems. So even though you can clear up a current infestation they will come into the house again!

I got a bunch of airtight containers to hold the off season stuff. I'm hoping to minimize the damage, since I haven't found anything that's been obviously moth-eaten. Yet. But it does sound like constant vigilance it what's needed, and that it's something that never goes away entirely. ::sigh::
