Desperate Friend Seeks Advice

Um, a friend of mine wants to know if any of you gentle readers have tips for getting rid of a nasty fruit fly infestation? This friend was out of town for a little while and when she came home, the flies were hovering all over the kitchen. Her husband had cleaned the kitchen before she came home, claiming they bred in the compost bucket under the sink, but several flies are still hanging around, apparently copulating as they do, and thereby multiplying at an alarming rate. My friend is a little concerned because she is hosting a meeting of a certain underground crafty organization tomorrow evening and she doesn't want people to think she is gross. So if you have any tips, please let me know and I will pass them on to my friend, who is too shy or embarassed to ask you herself.

The new job is good. I feel happy and comfortable, everyone in my practice group has been very nice and welcoming. Strangely though, last night I came home from work feeling inexplicably gloomy. I moped around for a bit and finally I called to tell Shad (he was working late) that I was feeling gloomy and he told me to come down to the studio, so I grabbed my book and spent the evening on the chaise reading while he and TS worked around me. Then I came home and took a long bubble bath with the book and a glass of wine. I think that's just what I needed. Or maybe it was the rainy weather bumming me out. I'm in much better spirits today.

In other news, I have moved the wine bar from the living room to the Sky Lounge. This is the beginning of a wonderful new era.
