Crises All Come In Bunches

The power guys were at my place today. So I have electricity.

I don't have Internet, but that is the least of my problems beCAUSE...

I

HAVE

BEDBUGS!


Of course, this means that I can no longer sleep on the mattresses that were provided by the furniture company because I may wake up with no blood left.

This is not just two or three little ones, either-this is a WHOLE MATTRESS CORNER covered in the crawling bastards. I was so sick at heart just looking at the whole business thinking my mother had slept on that bed and I hadn't even realized, on top of being overwhelmed by the sheer size of the swarm.

Since the furniture company is responsible for the mattresses and therefore the bugs, too, THEY are the ones who will have to find a solution to the problem.

It's possible that my rental office would have to DUMP ME IN A HOTEL for a bit so they can get rid of the bugs. Probably means heating my place to 150 degrees and roasting them out.

Aren't you glad you don't have my life?

The fumigators are coming tomorrow to hopefully murder the roaches, but with the mattresses against the walls thanks to the bedbug problem they're going to have to suck it up (no pun intended) and move them out of the way.

Aren't I glad that my life is so stress-free?

So, with the possibility I could be temporarily hauling shop over to a hotel, the potential that the bedbugs could rise up as one and suck the life out of me like a bunch of vampires, the thought that if the bedbugs don't get me first then the roaches might, and the idea that yesterday morning the Internet was my main concern and has now moved down to number 3 on the list, I am having simply a splendid day.

I'm going to go straighten some shelves for relaxation. Gods know I need it.

Ta,
Bec

PS:
PLAGUE LIST:

Bedbugs
Roaches
Informational darkness
I believe the mice up north are dead but honestly my problem is bigger altogether.

PPS: Apparently I got put on an "emergency" list and my mattresses have been fuffed with insecticide and taken outside to the porch to sit until the mattress people come tomorrow and bring me some new ones, sans bugs.

They will probably run into the pesticide people coming to get rid of the rest of the bugs. And the Time Warner people coming to fix the Internet. Such is life.
