The latest saga in home ownership... BEES!  Ok, they're not really bees, wasps really, yellow jackets, the most cuddly of all bees-type critters, right?  I've been spraying trying to deal with it for a couple of days since I first noticed them making their entry around the bedroom window behind the siding.  At best the spray makes them hover around looking pretty pissed off for less than 24 hours, then they are back to business as normal.  Now I'm seeing a couple coming and going around the front door on the same side where the window is.  Greeeeeat.

I gave in and made a few calls after reading more about the beloved little creatures.  I'm set for someone to come tomorrow morning.  $225.  Eeesh.  Not cool.  To think I laughed a little to myself this morning (it's pay day) to see all but $300 of what appeared in my account during the night get escorted out to the mortgage and other obligations (including some savings mind you).  Now who's laughing?  I'm up $75 for my 2 weeks worth of work.  Look at me go.
