mamagaeaBad news first.
I had an infestation of larvae today in the kitchen. I was SOOOO freaked out! Turns out they are some kind of moth larvae that likes to eat dry goods. They got in ALL my rice. There were tons of cocoons on the ceiling and some of the larvae crawling around up there. It was SO GROSS! I was shuddering everywhere. I got the bucket out, filled it with HOT water and bleach, and scrubbed the walls, the cabinets, and everything. I still have a lot of things to clean, but I got rid of all the icky grodiness.
I IMMEDIATELY had to go out and buy stuff I don't have the money for. I bought an airtight bulk storage canister set. On sale at Target for $20. I bought an extra module along with the set. I also bought more rice. I put my pasta, beans, rice, and instant potatoes in there. I will have to buy a couple more containers for my baking mix and the rest of the potatoes, but now at least, my rice and dry good are protected. (shuuddderrrr)
GOOD NEWS.
I got notified today that I was one of 83 applicants that got a score of 1.00 on the Police Records Specialist Trainee test for the Portland Police Bureau (that's the highest score you can get). So, I get to move on to step two. They will eventually contact me to take a keyboarding test. If I make it past that, I will get an in person interview. And if I make it past that they will do an extensive background check.
Hey, at least I did well on the test, right?
Ok, off to bed to dream of bugs, I'm sure. shudddderrrr
