Good Night, Sleep Tight,

Don't let the bed bugs bite. :D

They weren't kidding. 

Last Friday, 

As I was getting ready for work I saw this HUGE beetle looking thing crawling next to my pillow,

I instantly ran for some cardboard I wanted to recycle,

Scooped it up and smashed it with an old tissue box against the wall.

First of all,

I would like to note that now I am SOOO way more prepared to deal with insects than I use to

And I don't scream unnecessarily anymore.

But it still doesn't mean I'm not scared of them.

ANYWAYS!

By looking at that bug I could tell there was blood in it (the outer lining looked translucent while the body was reddish brown)  

So, when I smacked it, there was tonnes of blood,

But since it was expected, I wasn't too freaked out.

Anyhow,

I rushed off to work and when I came home, looked it up online,

And yes, found that it was indeed a bed bug.

ugh.. feel so gross postin a pic of this here!

Only thing is the one I saw was like their giant counterpart.

I dunno why it was so huge! 

It was the size of a penny (they usually grow to bout the size of rice bugs)

O.O

So, since it was Fri, I had to wait till Monday to report it.

And by then, my sis was covered in bites! :O

I was lucky, didn't have that many and the ones that I did never swelled.

Until lately. 

They are so *%^*&^($%#@*  itchy!!

Way worst than mosquito bites and last way longer!

Anyways,

They could only come spray them on Thur (yesterday)

But before that, we had to take many precautions and do tonnes of stuff!

We had to wrap up ALL clothes, cloths, and everything soft into plastic bags and wash them in high heat!

So a lot of my clothes have shrunk. 

O.O!

On the plus side, the apartment takes care of it so I don't need to pay a dime for the exterminator.

But on the other side,

I have spent almost $100 on laundry and I'm not even half done yet.

And $150 on dry cleaning. 

So now that my apartment is supposedly bug free,

I still can't remove everything from the bags yet cause they still need to monitor it for 4 weeks

4 WEEKS!!!!!!!!!! 

Every Thursday, they'll come and do a checkup!

Which means for  4 WEEKS I can't put everything back to where it belongs.

Just when I thought my house couldn't look any messier. 

However! The floor will be clean since I need to frequently vacuum.

:D

-_-!

And the cherry on top of all of this-

I had an exam today, which I spent

a good 5 hours studying for.

~~~~~Joy~~~~~

And to top EVERYTHING off with sprinkles!

I have another exam on Monday!! 

And to add whatever else people add,

Through all of this my sis had a sprained ankle and tonnes of assignments so she was a lil more useless than usual.

-Productivity fail-

YEEEAAAAAGHHHHHH!!

X_X

I suppose it is a learning experience though. 

Things I wouldn't learn if I still lived with mommy.

But the next time I see one of those darn things, will be too darn soon. 

<3 XOXO
