Phew. I'm glad it is Friday. I can relax about work until Monday. Tonight I will even be able to get a proper night sleep...I hope.
For a couple of weeks now my skin has been 'breaking out'. It has been itchy beyond belief on my legs and arms. I thought maybe I had a recurrence of bed bugs but oculd never find them in my bed. Then yesterday, after almost no sleep the night beofre, I found one walking on my bed! I was distraught to say the least. I was also exhausted from all the insanity caused by the people in a suite in the basement. I had to call the police to break up fights going on outside.
I was at the end of my rope. I was so close to a breakdown. I am not even kidding about that! My dear friend Janine rescued me long enough to go for dinner. It was the sanity break I needed and when I came home there was a security guard at the door. He stayed all night in the building and suddenly it was quiet! I also slept on my sofa and got an amazing sleep.
So this morning I woke up ready to take on whatever challenges come my way. I have a renewed vision for my job (which had been non-existant lately) and a renewed passion for living here. My skin is also healing, which is good because that was starting to make me crazy.
As I type, my bed is in a large trailer being heated by Leon, who is not charging me for the service. When he brings it back tonight it will be bug free and I will put my bedding back on (it has gone through the dryer and is bed bug free too). Ah, that will be even better!
I am so thankful for the improvement in today. I say most literally and loudly, 'Thank you Jesus!"

How did you get bed bugs? What a horrible problem! I'm glad things are going well for you. I pray that you would find peace this weekend and a non-itchy bed! I love you!
ReplyDeleteThey came from, most likely, my neighbour. They have been in the building for a while now. I knew that and was trying to prevent them from coming into my flat. I first got them from the people below me. They were treated and all was well. However, my neighbour refused to let someone in to treat his flat so they came back to mine. I am fortunate to have someone near by who helps make my bed safe again by treating it with intense heat. Yay! My bedding is fine after being put through the dryer for 40 minutes. I think I slept better last night than I have in weeks!
ReplyDeleteLove you too dear friend!
