Sacre bleu invaders!

Hi, y'all. I'm running out of juice here since I had a bit of a downer day, plus three hours of InDesign training after work. Whew.

Apparently I spoke too soon when I said NYM was bug-free. That'll come back to bite you in the arse every time. Or the neck, as the case is. I woke up this morning and found a bed bug sitting, quite plainly, on the wall in back of my bed. I appear to have several bite marks on my neck, too.

I know the exterminator said we could see them for up to two weeks after the treatment, but now they are in my apartment! They definitely were not here before. I haven't had any bites like this. [shakes fists at sky -- wails "Why? Why?]

So now I am secluding myself from society as much as possible, for fear of spreading the infestation. I am a leper. I've had to cancel a potential trip home, a visit from my mom and I am even forbidding G to come visit. I just couldn't live with myself if I was the cause of this insanity for someone else.

I spent all day feeling like things were crawling on me. I hope I can get to sleep tonight. I am so freaking out, but cruising the blogs today at work, I read some real horror stories about these infestations. I am mighty grateful my landlord is doing what it can to get rid of these punks.

Until Wednesday, get an extra hour of sleep for me ... I think I'm going to need it.
