Because I know you're all riveted by our ridiculous dramarama...

Bug Dude came around 8:30am right when I was leaving for work. He walked in to Jen finishing up the frantic baseboard vacuuming and a house overcome with plastic bags. He looked at the bug bodies that Jen had found in the closet and said that they were definitely not bed bugs, just a couple of random bugs. He then looked in the bedroom, living room, and guest bedroom, including our suitcases, closets, and dressers, and said that he found no evidence of bed bugs. He could not do any treatments because by law there has to be proof of an infestation before you can exterminate, apparently. He said that Jen is probably being bitten by mosquitos. (I am dubious.)

I don't know whether to be happy or even more frustrated. Jen had finally sold me on this bed bug thing and I was hoping for some closure. Especially after all of that work for the last couple of days! Argh!

Also, drugs arrived via UPS this afternoon, so Operation:Frankenbaby is back on starting tomorrow.

I have been a whirlwind of activity today. I don't know if it's just that there is so much to do that I have dropkicked the paralyzing anxiety in the balls or if maybe things are a little less intense because I finally started bleeding last night. Either way, I'm not complaining.

I got home at around 4:20 due to a no-show (I am NOT complaining) and have fully completed two loads of laundry (tightly bagged), with the third in the dryer and the fourth in the washer. I emptied the dishwasher and filled it again, and washed all of the pots and pans and the kitchen sink. I cleaned the stovetop because I realized it was kind of nasty, and then went through the fridge and tossed all of the old food. (Not much, but since I filled the dishwasher I figured I might as well get those few pieces of tupperware, too.) I ended up running to Braintree at around 6:30 to go to Linens N Things and exchange the mattress covers that lorac was so kind to pick up for us, because she accidentally got the "covers the top and sides" covers and we need the "covers all the way around and zips" kind. I caught up on 70+ LJ comments and answered 5 old e-mails. I AM ON FIRE.

Maybe it's the weather? Because it was GLORIOUS today. I don't know if it hit 80° but it was certainly close if it didn't. It is so nice here in the apartment with every single window open. It's nice to just HAVE every single window open. I love early summer. We have two cookouts to go to this weekend, one of which is also a pool party. I am READY to kickstart this season! It's also a late-night hottub party and maybe I will indulge since I will go back to at least two weeks of "no hot tubs" in a couple of weeks I should take advantage. But it might be clothing-optional and homey don't play dat.

Everything always looks a little better in the morning, and yesterday morning I decided to bring the cupcakes for my coworker even though I had to stop frosting them because they were all breaking (they were a lot spongier than any cupcakes I had ever made) and I was getting so frustrated that I punched some of the cupcakes. So I ended up just bringing them in one container and the frosting in another. One of my coworkers frosted them for me and they ate them while I was at my training and people keep telling me how good they were. That is AWESOME because I seriously was so freaked out that they were the worst cupcakes ever. But maybe I was just PMSing hardcore and having bugphobia.

I'm going to blame the weather, but today seems much more manageable. So I'm not complaining.

I am SO freaking out about this bug thing, so much so that I can't stop itching and feeling like there are bugs all over me. Which of course there aren't. But still.

But I've been looking up bed bug information on the internet to try to find out what we'll need to do if in fact this IS a bed bug infestation. We supposedly will have to bag and wash (in hot water) all of our clothes and all of our linens. And then we'll have to have a pest control person come, probably several times. But what just occurred to me is that it's not safe to be pregnant around pesticides! So what the heck am I supposed to do? Should I start everything this cycle and try to get pregnant and risk complications from pesticides? The whole thing just makes me want to cry my eyes out. I don't even know what to do. I am so scared about teratogens and all of that as it is and now we're going to have someone fumigate every nook and cranny in our apartment? What the hell am I supposed to do?

I can't even deal with this. I'm supposed to be making cupcakes right now for my coworker's anniversary but all I can do is cry.
