I'm an idiot, and I'm going to kill my mom. Jilli-fonted (and others that don't want to read about bugs)
I have a moth infestation in my cedar trunk (go figure). My mom told me to pick up a box of moth balls, so I did, and this morning I dumped a bunch in the trunk. Mom thought the trunk would be sealed enough that the fumes wouldn't leak, etc. My asthma was pretty bad right afterwards, but I opened the windows then headed out for the day. The asthma got better while I was out. Then I got home, and now the asthma is bad. I'd take the trunk outside, but, well it's heavy and it's supposed to rain tonight.
Any advice? I really can't afford another flare-up. I just got over the last one. I feel like such an idiot.
Mothballs are bad. Can you hold your breath long enough to put the mothballs in a plastic bag and put them outside? Then you could put some kind of plastic, like a big garbage bag, over the chest.
Trunk has been moved to the back hallway for now. Tomorrow morning I'll put it on my balcony...after it's rained.
Also, mom feels really badly. She said she never thought about that.
los hermanos have taken away two pickup truck loads so far.
Wow. It's just dead in here tonight.
Indeed. And my TV overheated or something so I'm just trying to figure out how to respond to somebody on Match.com. Exciting night!
I made the mistake of rewatching the local special about the Orly crash [link] which is so sad. It's hard to know what Atlanta would have been like without it. There was one couple who always traveled on separate planes because the wife was afraid of a crash that would orphan their children. They interviewed her husband, who was at Orly waiting for his later flight and watched the plane she was on crash.
I just found my missing ledger in the first place I had looked for it when I noticed it was missing. I wonder if the thief was wracked with guilt. Either that or we have house imps. Last week we called a plumber and when he left, the adapter he had unplugged to plug in his extension cord was missing. He swore at me for asking him if he might have taken it by mistake and D pulled out the washer and dryer and looked underneath them but couldn't find it. Two days later I was doing laundry and there it was in plain sight between the two machines.
