It started with me getting a migraine. i spent a while trying to kill it with my face in a nice cold couch. Got up to use the bathroom and found something on my shirt-
Great. We have bed bugs.
it’s not an infestation, yet. Just in two rooms. One of which is mine. great. i go on a mad dash to get all out blankets, sheets, loose clothing, etc. My brother and I get it bagged up, the first load in the dryer at high heat. This doesn’t sound so bad but I have a migraine. I have hEDS (hyper-mobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome) so my everything dislocates easily. So, I don’t have a lot of energy. to make matters worse, our dryer is in the basement.
three floors down
and I had to make several up and down return trips carrying a lot of blankets and stuff. By the time we start bagging them I’m sweating and trying not to faint.
so. I tell my dad, I drag myself into the shower. I can’t find my shampoo so I just use conditioner. I don’t have any towels because I had to put them in the basement, jic. so there I stand soaking wet in a cold bathroom because it’s so cold outside and the bathroom doesn’t have a door. i wring my hair out, get dressed while wet, drag myself back to the basement and change the load out. I put the pillows in thinking it would be best to do that so we have them to sleep in. haul the cleaned blankets back upstairs.
i finally take a break, down a bunch of water, and grab a comfort cheesecake slice. At this point, I realize it’s 1 am. i eat while my dad helps vacuum off my mattress. i realize I can’t sleep on my mattress. i resign myself to sleeping on the couch and messing up my joints. I go to put the cheese cake away and
splat
my left over cheese cake slices have flipped and hit the ground. I scoop them up, and thank god for them being strawberry swirl, because the jelly absorbed all the floor crud. So I put it in the fridge and get down and wipe up all the jelly off the floor. so. I finall go upstairs and take my sleep meds and go to the duckling room. They need their catch pan cleaned and water refilled but I’m in so much pain and I’m so tired I just lay down on the floor by their heat lamp
my brother came and helped me clean them up but I’m exhausted. This is not a good night. I feel disgusting.
