Everything is a pain in the ass when you have bed bugs
...even writing blog posts.
I never thought these little bastards would be so exhausting. I hate living out of suitcases. Every piece of clothing I own is covered with bugs. This morning, I shook out the one clean work shirt that I thought I had salvaged from the infestation. I flipped up the collar to put a tie around it, and there were somewhere between 50 and 100 bugs, some larvae, some adult, crawling around in the crease. This was the cleanest shirst I had. It is Thursday. I've been wearing shirts just like this one all week. I leave for work at 7:15. I have found bugs crawling down my sleave and onto my hand at 2:00 in the afternoon. Clothes can be thrown in a washing machine, though. Unfortunately, keyboards, suitcoats, beds, and houses pose larger problems. I would ask if I could stay at your place, but why? So I can infect your house with the "clean" change of underwear I bring with? Bah.

i'm taking a class called "IB 109" Insects and humans, be glad you both don't have crabs, because we saw that picture of diseased pubic hair and it was gross. Bottom line with bed bugs is that everything needs to be cleaned, sheets, carpet, everything...good thing about it...they don't spread diseases, like typhus etc...so go clean all clothing and shampoo the carpet and you're good. And don't be lousy about how you clean. (Bad professor humor talking about lice)
whoa that's PFG.
PICTURES!!!
i once thought i had bedbugs. turns out it was just my ex-wife.
Mike,
I don't know if he has let you know this or not, but you left a detailed message for what you probably thought was a landlord named Eddie, but in fact was my brother Eddie that was all about bedbugs. Eddie said that you went on for a minute of two talking about an exterminator, and comparison shopping. Just so you know, that message was left for the wrong Eddie.
joe d, good to hear from you.
joey mac, now i'll have to explain to my uncle eddie that the message i left for him to apologize for thinking he was my landlord was in fact intended for the only sober irish guy known to man. i slept in my bedroom for the first time in a week, last night. no bites. screw the exterminators. i think they're bird mites and i think i'll throw them a party when i move out in 8 days. dead pigeons for all.
man, Im with yishai. make sure you dont transport them to your new place.

Mike,
Thanks for the ticket to the Sox game and the awesome company on Saturday. I had a great day, and realized that the south loop is a really cool place, and that red face is something I just have to learn to live with.
It's almost a week since, and my face is peeling off.
Mike,
Are you still down for the sox game may 24th?
YES, YES, YES.
YES.
