So Long... For Now
It appears I have started this blog post-maturely (knock on wood). It's now been over a month with no bites and almost two weeks since any bedbug sightings. My skin is even SMOOTH, which is like, so WEIRD. I haven't touched my arm and not felt some sort of bump from a bite in almost three months. I'm even almost done with all that laundry. I am starting to feel as though I'm getting my life back.
And since this appears to be the case, I am going to take a hiatus from this site until I need it again. I can only assume that there will be a reinfestation someday, being that the original infestation was so widespread in my apartment building to begin with. But until then, I'd like to try to pretend this never happened for now and go on living my life as though I still never knew bedbugs actually existed. No need to wallow in the mud when it's more or less dried up (or so we hope).
In the meantime, I will alert you as to whether there is anything new posted up here on my regular blog. Just look for the link to this blog in the "links" section. I'll post the last date I updated next to the link.
Thanks for checking me out. All the best. And don't forget. The tequila shots really do help. Seriously.

hi, its sep. 7th...have you had any more problems??? have you thought about moving, or is there a lease situation??
I have I hope finally gotten rid of these fuckers. It started in april when I woke one night to find them crawling all over my bed. I had noticed large red welts all over my arms, but thought that was a reaction to some medicine. It turns out that this crazy piece of shit upstairs and her equally crazy piece of shit sick husband were living with them for over a year and invected my apartment because I let her leave some laundry in my place because I felt sorry for the crazy b. anyway my landlord paid for the exterimations it too 9 and as you all know the hell these creatures from hell can cause. I lost my bed, clothes, chairs paintings all because I was being kind to this fuck upstairs who then had the nerve to blame my other neighbor. My exterimator told me that the only thing that works besides the crap that he uses is tat that you can buy over the counter. I have used so much of that junk, I hope that I don't finally die from the shit, but what choice do we have. I think they are gone, but Im paranoid I feel itchy alot, but the exterimator looked at my bites and told me they were not bedbugs, I had to go on with my life. He said that there are no more bedbugs in my apartment. (they were here) but the last time the 9th time he was here none came out. I still really don't sleep soundly. I hate this b upstairs with a passion and wish her dead. thats what this has done to be. I'm an artist and a rare book dealer and had to wrap thousands of expensive books in plastic bags, all my linen and such is also in bags. I feel for all of you who are going through this crap. as I said it started in april and now hopefully it is over. the angst and fear has not left and don't know if it ever will. However if nothing else it is so much better than it was in april so I have hope that this nightmare for me is over.
I wish I had found this site sooner, I had bedbugs about three years ago and it had an enormous impact on my life, as you know, but they did leave and the only one I have found since was dead. I just wanted to share any encouragement that I could, and you can beat them. People need to be smart, not crazy. Inspect your clothes, and once-over hotel rooms, but remember, getting an infestation is about like winning the lottery, and your chances of winning twice are slim to none.
