You find a termite infestation…

Here's hoping this is a metaphor. I generally try to find humor or an upside to unpleasant things, but I'm struggling here. Job security for pest control and construction companies?

We found termites in the shed. I mean yay not on our house right? Just 6 feet away on the shed... Sigh.
I just end up feeling like the world sees you feeling down and kicks your feet out from under you.

Yeah, that's generally how it seems to go. There are "ups" in life, but they rarely outweigh the "downs" in my experience.

Yep, glad it's just the shed. Hopefully it will get resolved before they spread.

Omg! Noooo! How bad?!

ChainedChrysalis Small Town Girl ⋅ September 03, 2023

It dosent look to be too bad yet. WE are going to place some really expensive bait traps we really dont have the money for and hope to prevent it from spreading.

Good grief! It's always something!

ChainedChrysalis Small Town Girl ⋅ September 03, 2023

yep. They are 250 each. And we need two.
Plus my kid wants a suit for a dance next weekend.
I have to get my boss the money for the show tuesday,
Our bank account is locked because my husband tried to get his car registration and they thought it was fraud, So THAT bounced and when you bounce the state its a $300 fee. So all of our money is locked up in "pending" charges so everything is bouncing/overdrafting.

My life is going into a mess right now.

Small Town Girl ChainedChrysalis ⋅ September 03, 2023

Omg!! They had better refund that $300!!

I really hope so. The money is SO freaking stressful right now.

Once I found them in our laundry room. That was annoying . Luckily we had a contract with a pest control company so they dealt with it. This house has had every problem you can think of ( almost ). 🤦‍♀️ Maybe since it’s a shed you can spray yourself ?

We are going to put some bait traps in the ground and hope.
Its not too bad.
