We kick bedbug ass!
Well finally after 3 months of fighting these bastards, I think we have won. We wound up having to go online and buy a whole kit for killing bed bugs, and go buy a commercial construction heater so that we could heat each room up to 140 degrees.
This is after bombing with commercially available bed bug bombs TWICE (first time said asshat that is no longer living with us, brought all his infested stuff back in the house, re infesting us with the 6 legged bastards.>:( We had to get rid of ALL the furniture in the den, which is where that asshole slept, the headboard to my bed (it was wicker, so too many places for those mini vampires to hide), and a ton of clothes and curtains. Was nice to have the house so clean (although the work doing it liked to have killed me! I swear I know I have not physically recovered from all the stress and strain of that yet) but would liked to have done it under totally different circumstances.
Needless to say..all this stress over these damn critters has not done a thing for my HS. I've had breakouts back to back, and I know those monsters biting me wasn't helping. I got so bad, and so OCD and obsessed over them I couldn't even sleep in my bed..a couple of nights I just stayed up, and wound up sleeping on my daughter's bed, which I knew was bed bug free. And that is not like me, to want to NOT sleep..usually I'm so exhausted at the end of the day..the ONLY thing I want to do is check my eyelids for light leaks..lol...But not in this instance..For two days I bagged stuff and cleared out stuff like a woman gone mad..my last nite staying up like that I was so gone, my legs had actually begun to wobble under me as I was unloading stuff out of our closet in an attempt to make sure there was nothing those bugs could hide in to escape spray OR powder.
My mother in law and father in law started fighting about all this bed bug mess. I couldn't help but try to stop it. I just told them that this is exactly what my mother in law's brother would want..that it would warm his heart to know that they were arguing between themselves over chaos he created. He always gets a kick out of them fighting and being at each others throats. So I did my "good deed" for the month..lol
I just hope to get my head more in order. We're trying to see our manual to get my an automatic, driving a manual car is taking a helluva toll on me with my HS and back problems I have..so as much fun as it is to drive, it's gotta go. I just feel that here recently I haven't been able to keep up as much or stay on task as much as I normally can. I feel a bit like the horse that was rode hard, put up wet, and is one neigh away from the glue factory.
Will post more later..right now..just soo sleepy..lol..probably won't sleep though..shit always keeps coming up.
