Weird combination for a title, I know, but stick with me.
I recently had seen a commercial for Total's Cinnamon...something or other cereal. Basically, it's like a grown-up version of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. That was one of my favorite cereals when I was a little girl; I'm excited there's a "healthy" version now for adults. (I say "healthy" because it's 230 calories with milk--190 without.) It's pretty yummy...not as sugary as the kids' cereal, but still very delicious. I might have just found a new breakfast item.
As for the infestation, I have killed about five earwigs since midnight last night. Gross gross gross. I was changing the sheets on my bed, and found TWO earwigs on my bed. Then, Beatrice started tracking another one this morning...I watched her watch it for about ten minutes, as it traipsed around the living room. She finally had it trapped out in the open, so I killed it just now. Ugh. I hate bugs, especially earwigs...even their name is horrible. Before Lauren and I knew what they were, we just called them "devil bugs" because they're so difficult to kill and they have a forked butt. Gross gross gross.
Moving on.
I accomplished most of the tasks I set out to accomplish yesterday. I have not yet read for class, but I decided that they're going to do some sort of in-class writing, and then I'll dismiss early. My students have checked out this semester, they have a paper due tomorrow, and I myself am tired. It's too bad that Faust is the text to suffer the lack of complete attention, but I don't know if I have the energy in me anymore to fight for it.
Now this weekend is going to be tough--grading papers and writing the final exams, not to mention still reading for class on Monday. The paper-grading is the worst of it.
Time to clench my fists, put my head down, and soldier through.

You need to contact your property manager about the earwig problem, and, if need be, keep the friggin' carcasses. Not only do they look bad, and their name is bad, but they also emit stinky stuff, too! (not as bad as stink bugs, but you get my drift).
The property manager should spray for you at no charge (make sure it's kitty safe!) or at least offer a suggestion (kitty safe spray).
I would also google organic/nontoxic things you can use to kill/prevent them: similar to killing scorpions with boric acid (similar to talcum powder).
