I saw a little red bug crawling up my book page, so I smished it by closing the book. Now I'm paranoid that it was a bedbug, and I should have captured it to make a better identification.
Please let it just be a small beetle.
Out. For. A. Walk. ... Bitch.

Bedbugs are not red and would not be out in the day unless you just brought it into the house, or you had a really really bad infestation.

Because books.
The little red bugs are clovermites, and they come in in the spring and fall. They love the sunlight and don't bite.

YLMV--I didn't get the job, did I?
I meant it more as a commentary that it was an arduous and wretched process, but... point.

If I WERE getting another pet right now, I think I would have to go get Miranda RIGHT NOW! [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Mom MUST let you have a pet. Are you kidding me with that? I WILL call her right now.
She's allergic, is half the problem. And hates pets, is the other half. This is why my only childhood pet was a gerbil!

She did grow to like Homer (because he was the best), so I could imagine some scenario where I do end up with a cat (a friend can't keep it or something), but for now, I'm sure it's going to be a no.
