Bed Bugs. UGH!

Ugh indeed.

I acquired bed bugs about 3 weeks ago.

It's truly been hell. Capital H. E. Double hockey sticks!

For 3 weeks I slept on an air mattress on my living room floor while scrubbing and cleaning everything in my apartment. Washing all of my clothes and linens and curtains etc... Steaming my mattress and bedframe. Letting the exterminator in.....twice. Picking clothes to wear for the day out of their protective plastic bags. Bathing my cat Humphrey......twice. And, just feeling a general sense of DEATH ZONE:RESTRICED AREA-DO NOT ENTER in my own home.

I had to go out the other day and buy all new pillows and a mattress protector so I could sleep on my own bed again.

But, alas, I finally have moved back into my bedroom.

Of course, I'm still terrified of the bed bugs. I check my sheets and under my mattress everytime I enter the room. I look around my bedroom floor half expecting to see a bed bug running for cover under my dresser. I'll probably never get over this....but I'm back in my room.

Good news.........right?...........I mean, right?

I dont' know.


On a lighter note:

I saw Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix lastnght. Great one!

Check it out! But not with bed bugs.
