TIFU by eating breakfast in my kitchen without turning the lights on tifu

So I've been trying to get in the habit of eating breakfast. I'm one of those people who typically are not hungry at all in the morning, but my energy level is ass when I get to work so I decided to change it up. I bought some of those protein cheerios with the granola chunks in them, tried a small bowl last night for dinner. Lets get to the fucked up part. This morning I get up at 5am and walk to the kitchen and use the refrigerator light to find a bowl and a spoon, I pour the milk and eat my bowl of cereal at the kitchen table. Mind you at this point the only light on is the faint light from the living room lamp. I notice ever so slightly when there is just milk left that an ant has appeared on the surface. I live in a woodsy area so I just think oh it must have been on the table and it probably just crawled up the side of the bowl (I was taking my time eating). My body and brain were still completely shut down at this point. So I notice as I'm pouring out the little bit of milk I couldn't finish in the sink about 10 ants are in the very bottom of the bowl. Suddenly this fear and adrenaline rushes over my whole body, you know that feeling when your heartbeat picks up and you feel flush immediately. I turn the kitchen light on blinding myself, power walked to the pantry and open up the box of cereal and unravel the bag....JESUS TAP DANCING CHRIST. I had a feeling it would be bad, but I was not prepared for what I saw. There were ants EVERYWHERE, literally burrowed inside of the small holes found in cheerios, there were also small white (eggs?) or baby ants or whatever the fuck those things are that they were carrying around in their jaws. I wanted to puke, I wanted to cry, I wanted to start the day over. I was also mad since i just bought the box the night before and it was already ruined. Surprisingly I did not throw up but there might have been a small panic attack mixed into all those emotions I went through in that short amount of time. This is just your daily reminder to never eat in the dark. I am scarred for life.
