Minor Annoyances August 11, 2004
There are two things going on in my little world that are frustrating me. Now, I realize that in the grand scheme of things that these annoyances are not that big of a deal, but they’re getting under my skin a bit.
The first is that my apartment is currently the new hangout for the fruit flies in our neighborhood. The fault for this lies both with my husband and me. My husband has a bad habit of buying bananas and not eating all of them, so we had a couple of overly ripe bananas in our kitchen. I can sort of pass off my part in all of this on to the cats. My kitties love to go out on the balcony, and they beg to go out there multiple times a day. However, one of my kitty cats is quite a nervous nellie and freaks out if the balcony door is closed while she’s out there. As a result, I have to leave the door slightly ajar when we go outside, thus the point of entry for the fruit flies.
Now, I realize that fruit flies are little and not quite as freaky as many other bugs, but they’re quite annoying. They have quite a short life span (remember HS biology?) so we’ll only have to put up with them for a little bit, but I’m still trying to get rid of them. Of course, the bananas were quickly escorted out of the apartment, but I’m also trying a home remedy that I found on the internet. You mix water, sugar, vinegar, and dish soap together. They’re drawn to it and drown. Sad but effective.
My second annoyance has to do with our upcoming trip. My husband and I are leaving early Friday morning to fly to Michigan for his grandparent’s 50th anniversary celebration. When we fly, I ALWAYS pack those Hostess Brownie Bite things to snack on during the flight(s). Well, this time I can’t find them. I’ve looked at three different stores that carry them, and they are all out. Now, I realize I am totally superstitious about having these snacks to bring on our trip, but it’s driving me crazy. I guess I’ll go back to the store tomorrow to see if they’ve restocked.
I guess things are going ok if I’m complaining about bugs and snacks on my blog. Anything to keep me distracted from the enormity that is IVF, right?

Understandable annoyances. And yes, it is a good sign. I’d like to worry about other things right now, too, if I could help it. It is very exhausting constantly worrying about your infertility. I hope it will end someday.
Have a great trip! We’ll talk to you again when you get back.
Hope you have a fun trip, Amanda!
