Personal Note: I will have my vengeance!

I emerged from another writing fit this evening to notice that:

a) the ants are back; and

b) they brought a friend, probably named Mickey.

Whence follows the ritual scrubbing of the countertops, the liberal application of Ant-B-Gone, and the baiting of the mousetrap with peanut butter.

Ye gods, I hope those were just really large, really odd looking ant corpses and not mouse turds, but I have very little hope.
