My visit to the doctor confirmed that while I do not have strep, I should not be around people. So I’m pouting, staying at home today, despite feeling pretty good. I just have a sore throat with yucky white specks. Blech.

One of the lovely things that greeted me when I returned from vacation was pantry beetles. It’s the grossest, more revolting thing I’ve encountered in a long time. I threw everything but my canned goods out, vacuumed, then scrubbed everything twice. And I still have the willies. So my kitchen is a disaster. Nothing has gone back in the cabinets yet. I’m just not ready. Yuck. I know that it’s common, and typically enter the home through a product purchased at the store. But I still feel like the worst housekeeper in the world right now. And I’m just… so grossed out.

Welcome back, me.
