There I was, with an actual boyfriend on Valentine's Day who brought me actual flowers, freaking out about the bugs he unintentionally brought into my home with the bundles of flowers he hand-picked for me. At this point, I would have appreciated one lovely store bought bouquet. But it was what it was and it was up to me to do something about the pests.
“First, get all
the flowers out of here and into the dumpster in the alley,” I commanded, now
in full combat mode.
My young boyfriend Ryan looked like he
was going to cry, but then he complied to my demands like a wounded solider, scooping up
fistfuls of flowers and tearing down the stairs of my apartment to the garbage.
I dumped my
bedding into large trash bags to take to the Laundromat. Next, I put the dogs
in my car so they wouldn’t be hurt by the bug spray.
Ryan was running
as fast as he could up and down the stairs with his arms filled with flowers
while I was spraying the hell out of the ants and spiders. We were quite a team. We both
got on our hands and knees and cleaned up the dead ants with paper towels, then
took the bedding to the Laundromat. That’s how we spent Valentine’s Day,
killing ants and washing bedding. How romantic.
