It was a long day. I've taken on the task of evicting the unwanted tenants of our kitchen cupboards. The ants are the hardest to remove because they are really tiny. I know you're probably saying, "Aren't all ants tiny?" Well, you haven't seen these ones. No pun intended. These are the miniature ants. I tried putting out some sweet stuff for them, and they took the bait. I followed the trail, but I couldn't find out where their nest is, so they keep coming back. Besides that, I took Chef around to reconcile with his father, a job interview at Aji Ichi, then to Gabriel's pasta, then to his brother's house where we had to negotiate a place for him to stay. I offered my kid's clubhouse as a last resort. I told him that I had built the clubhouse for my kids, but as soon as I was done, they simply diddn't find it interesting enough. I joked that he must have been the very reason for why I felt compelled to even finish that structure. I would even give him the bottle of "Off" to keep the mosquitoes away. But he said that the tree next to the clubhouse felt as if there was some kind of spirit, and that he was afraid to sleep there. I thought to myself maybe that might motivate him to convince his family that he needed to stay with them.
Anyway, it's about 11 pm. I spoke to my sweet wife when I came home about half an hour ago. They are enjoying their last two weeks in the Philippines. I miss them. Well, I have an early day at drill tomorrow, so I'd better get my deployment bag packed up and then hit the sack.
