That is definitely more than enough, yes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Sue, that's unbelievably horrible. Those poor people.

And....mac came in at 4:30 which led to me....seeing a bed bug. Guess I know what I'll be doing today, laundry, plastic bags, contacting the management company (to see who calls the exterminator and to make sure they send out a notice), mattress encasement, more laundry. Maybe Home Depot to get shelves for the storage area, since I think I'll be needing to shift a bunch of stuff down there.
I've already pulled the down comforter off since that is where I saw them and have it in a plastic bag.

Oh god, msbelle, like you needed more stress and work in your home life.

right?
Anyhoo, I found a highly recommended exterminator on a bedbug forum, already called them and much to my surprise the guy picked up and will be getting back to me today with some instructions.
Apparently I should not wash too much before an inspection. mac's bed has been in plastic covering and it shows no signs, so hopefully his bed is free.
I just want to run the vacuum everywhere RIGHT NOW (seal up the bag and toss it), also start the laundry, and shower (I know not helpful). WHat I do not want to do is think about how much money this is all gonna cost.
ok, off to email the management company.

I have no idea if homeowner's insurance would cover it, but it's worth a check, anyway. Or maybe the co-op has some insurance?

the co-op won't cover anything, I am positive, but I should check with my insurance. treatment is definitely going to hit my deductible, if it is a covered thing.

Oh crap, msbelle! There's an epidemic of them around here, too, and they are totally capable of hitching a ride into your home, so no matter how cleanly you are, you're not guaranteed that you won't get hit.
Here's hoping that you're getting the infestation in its first few days, so that it can be dealt with decisively and swiftly.

Oh yeah, Theo - intellectually I know this is not about me being clean, but like so many other things lately, it seems like an indictment on my life.

no insurance coverage.
