My house hates me...
Was all wound up from work last night having a hard time falling asleep watching some really bad android movie on the SciFi channel. I finally get sleepy enough that I hit the remote and turn off the TV when I hear this horrible sound of an electric motor overloading and the crunching of gears coming from my garage. All my cats jump out of bed and go running and I'm terrified at this point not knowing what is happening. I go into the garage and see that the electric garage door opening is covered in migrating ants that have somehow shorted out the track sensor and tripped the motor on and the worm drive has now overshot the end of the track and is all jammed up into the door springs. I pulled the plug on the motor and spayed poison all over everything. Naturally after having the hell scared out of me it took another hour to fall asleep.
Got up this morning and fixed the garage door. I had to unbolt the door from the track in order to open the door and get my car out of the way so that I could put the track back together as it had ripped itself apart. While I was up on the ladder in my garage terrified that something bad was going to happen to me as I was playing garage door mechanic the sprinkler well pump came on, that is also in my garage, scaring me half to death and making me almost fall off the ladder. Always so nice to have the sprinklers come on in the pouring rain to water the lawn. Guess one day I should add a rain sensor to the sprinklers. One more thing for my very long home to do list. Manicure is now totally fucked up and my car is back in the garage with thousands of dead wet ants all over it. Guess the rest of them will wash off when I take the car for a drive today in the pouring rain.
I'm planning on just relaxing for the rest of today.
