My Summer Vacation, or Just When You Think Things Can't Get Any Worse
**Calling all Montreal knit fanatics**
My good friend Becky who just left me to move back to Canada is going to Montreal soon and wants to scope out some nice yarn stores. Where are the best places to shop? Please comment with any suggestions.
It's been almost two weeks since I've knit anything, as I was busy going out with newbies in my program and then last Sunday, realized that my apartment was infested with tatami mites. Then just when I was getting tired of living at my friends' houses and I thought it couldn't get any worse, the poisonous centipedes came out of the woodwork and claimed my bedroom floor as their own. Lovely. Someone from school is coming to my place today to help me deal with it. Thank god I have been a) able to live out of my new car and b) having so much nonstop fun with my friends that it is easy to forget/not worry about the situation so much. The last 10 days are a blur of fun, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. Still, I will be happy to sit at home and knit again when all this is done.

Yikes! Poisonous centipedes sound terrible, especially in your bedroom! Get yourself a Japanese exterminator (or a can of Raid or whatever) so you can get some sleep!!!
Seriously, good luck getting rid of them.

Good luck with battling the mukade! My friend who lives on the first floor of my apartment is now an expert at spotting them from across the apartment, grabbing a tissue and smashing them in one fell swoop. May you, too, master this Japanese art....

sounds like it's time to set all of the winter electrical gadgetry to the "daniout" setting, leave the aparto, and keep your fingers crossed . . .good luck!
