Tiny Comfort #2

NOT having termites in your house.

Seriously, don't take it for granted. Unfortunately this is not a comfort I am experiencing right now. I have a drop ceiling in my kitchen, and dead termites have found their final resting place on top of the panels. Cleaning them is a lot of fun because it starts snowing termite wings if you even so much as tap one of the panels. I really want to kiss my boyfriend when termite wings get in his beard (which they did).  

But it's not so much the dead termites that trouble me as the living ones. But alas, I'll save my complaints for people who actually care to hear about my homeowner woes. In other words, I'll keep it to myself.

Tiny Comfort #1 & Tiny Courtesy #1

Walking into an empty bathroom at work to do your business.

I'm going to be frank. Everyone prefers to poop in peace.

I know I breathe a sigh of relief every time I walk into the bathroom at work and all four stalls are EMPTY! For those of you who can poop in the presence of others...um, more power to you, I guess. I need my solitude.

And while I'm on the topic, tiny courtesy #1: the courtesy flush. You know what I'm talking about.
