Insect and Spider Identification: Mysterious Gray Household Insect, 1 by goldenoldy

For the past 3 days, I've woken up to 2 or 3 of these critters on my bathroom floor. I first noticed them the morning after I had showered (I usually shower at the gym, not at home), but I haven't used the shower since, and they're still there, so I'm not sure if they're attracted by water. (Besides, they're not IN my shower - just randomly in the middle of the bathroom floor or near the washing machine, which also hasn't been used on in over a week.) There was one on my kitchen floor today, too.

More info about them:
- They're about the size of common household flies, maybe a tiny bit smaller
- They're light gray in color
- They seem to be nocturnal since I notice them first thing in the morning, but they're unresponsive to light.
- They're EXTREMELY slow and mostly don't move at all.
- I haven't seen them in my bathroom, living area, or kitchen cabinets, so I don't think they're attracted by food.

I'm not especially worried about getting attacked by these little guys, but my house was recently renovated, and for the past few days I'm suddenly noticing a ton of these things. Just worried about a potential infestation or trying to avoid something I'm doing that might be attracting them.

Thank you so much for your help! I would love to know what they are.
