Yesterday's Condo
Willie is back up where he was yesterday, but appears to be coming back down nicely. He was out and about looking for mice much of the night, but I got lovely btb cuddles this morning. He's now trying to convince me to skip softball practice for another round this morning, but alas, I need the practice!! Gotta get myself out of bed!! Yesterday, I ended up doing some shopping and watching football. Nothing too exciting! Gotta decide what, if anything to do about the bedbug situation with my sister. One of the only ways to detect them early is by bringing in a bug sniffing dog (adorable beagle named Patches) that isn't cheap. My sister's clothes went straight from my car to the basement where they were washed and then dried on high before they were brought upstairs. I may go down and clean the area where she had the clothes. I feel bad for her... infestations are very difficult to get rid of, especially in apartments. When she moves eventually, she'll need to probably get rid of most of the furniture (which was actually quite nice), and may have to heat treat all her remaining stuff, which isn't especially cheap. Bed bugs infestations can't be eradicated with any chemical... you have to heat everything for several hours to a temp between 125 and 135 (above that will destroy electronics, and you need to treat the electronics as bedbugs get inside them). Blah.
Special welcome back to Celi and Binks. Bummer that you've moved back in, but happy to have you here, and hoping your visit is a short one!!
Have a great Sunday, everyone!
