I've been working on how to handle stress and anxiety. I had a pretty good idea today might have been a little on the difficult side.
Let's get right to the point. Regis has bed bugs. A bug inspector came out, and they were on his chair. Before that, one of his friends found bed bugs and eggs. So it got loaded up in pick and hauled off to the dump. So today, I took his chair up to the dump.
Well, I got an education on those little creatures. It has nothing to do with cleanness. But it would cost Regis $800 and 3 treatments, with a 30-day guarantee. It low-income apartment. For seniors and disabled. There are heat treatments, although. No price was given.
I do feel bad for Regis, mainly because it's no one fault that someone has bedbugs.
As for stressful situations, I usually stuff my mouth with naughty foods. But this time, I didn't, although I had to self-talk my way through it.
So sorry you had to deal with that poor Regis.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's unfortunate. They can be hard to get rid of.
ReplyDeleteA few years ago. Bed bugs were in all the hotels in an area of our state. Apparently people would got from hotel to hotel and unbeknownst to them they were spreading it.
ReplyDeleteOnce you have them. There really hard to get rid off
Keep an eye on his apartment, the bugs may come back …if one apartment gets them, everyone gets them. And it should be the landlord’s obligation to get rid of the bugs.
ReplyDeleteThey're really common in Albany. They even had some summit on how to destigmatize bedbug infestations, as people do think of them as from people who aren't clean. They were found on mattresses once at Goodwill. A few motels have had outbreaks that are very bad. One made the news, when a couple who found them in their bed had to vacate suddenly and the owner accused them of wanting a refund because they really weren't married and just having a "quickie".
ReplyDeleteYou better check yourself and your furniture. Bedbugs travel readily.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I feel for Regis. Well done with the food, Peppy.
ReplyDelete...thankfully, I've never had bed bugs!
ReplyDeleteBest to just roll with what happens, it is beyond your control.
ReplyDeleteWe sure feel bad for Regis too, that's a sad situation.
ReplyDeleteI would love you to share how you deal with stress. My anxiety is high & I need some pointers how to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteYikes. Those suckers are terrible. You didn't happen to track any back to your place? So hard to get rid of.
