In the early mornings when the porch light is still attracting moths, Trout has a field day trying to go after them. The poor window screen is taking the brunt of her attacks, of course, and because it's nice and cool outside I don't want to shut the window so I've been sitting here squirting her every time she thumps her feet up onto the screen. I got her right between the eyes earlier. Unfortunately, me squirting her is just teaching her to thwack the screen and then run behind the curtain. Heh.

This is my third week of running. Yesterday I was halfway through my warmup walk before I realized I hadn't checked to see how long I was supposed to run and walk, so I did two minutes running/two minutes walking. (It ended up being 90/90/3min/3min.) I'm still doing really well and I'm proud of myself for not having any second thoughts as I wake up on my running days.

I've been tagging all my old journal entries, and making most of them public. Now that I'm not worried about hiding from anybody, I'm hoping that having a more public journal will lure more people here (though I have a feeling that once people notice I'm boring, they'll be more inclined to go away!).

I just filled the vaccuum bag with a ton of spiders. And their webs. And the carcasses of dozens of little fruit flies and a few big moths and lots of dust. And lots of spiders. I had to vaccuum the ceiling too, and I had to be careful that the spiders didn't drop on me. The webs were really visible because of all the carcasses all over them. So now from the front door down to my apartment door is all clean and free of webs. I took the vaccuum outside so I could take the bag out and throw it away, even though it wasn't completely full. There was no way I was going to leave it in the apartment with all those spiders in there, just dying to come out and eat me up for ruining their egg sacs and houses.
