Thanks, Debet, and from your mouth to I'm Agnostic's ear.

I just told my project lead to go to bed or get cuddles(she's got a 5 month old.) boundaries broken after 11 pm. I'm actually going to have stern words with her if I see evidence of otherwise. I know what her day was like. It was mine. I don't have a family to take care of, but damnbetchta I got my 2 hrs at the Y. And decompress bourbon.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh god, you know what you don't want to find in your bedroom? (Well, lots of things, I'm sure.) Moth larvae. I am horrified and want to burn the house down. Tim is vacuuming ALL THE THINGS.

In all the time I've lived here (>7 years), this has never been a problem. The only thing that's changed recently is that the dog started sleeping in the bedroom. And Google tells me that moths eat any animal fiber, not just wool, so pet hair is a favorite for them.

Sorry, Kato, but you're banned from the bedroom. Which will suck, because he will whine and cry and bark.

Ewww, Tep. Nast.

I'm watching my alma mater do their annual get-a-high-seed-then-fail. Sigh.

That, I could actually deal with,Tep. Tells you where I at maybe.

PL just emailed me to promise she's unplugging. Ahaha. I hope.

Strix,may the outcome benefit all in the means which they deserve.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And you know the Mothman is notorious for flouting his child support payments.

And you know the Mothman is notorious for flouting his child support payments.

You mock, but the Mothman is just over the Ohio border into West Virginia (like a 2 1/2 hour drive). He's probably knocked up every lady moth in the tri-state area.

I am itching and squicked out, and yet I know there are WAY worse bugs that one can find in one's bedroom. They haven't been there long (relatively speaking), so the internet tells me that vacuuming like a maniac and washing any suspect clothing on hot and/or throwing it in the dryer will take care of most of the problem, provided we continue to vacuum regularly. Which we do.

All the clothes in the bedroom are mine (tiny house; tiny closets; Tim's clothes are in the office), and I have pretty much all cotton/synthetics, which moths don't really like to eat. So the rational part of my brain isn't too worried that this is the start of a horror movie.

My lizard brain, however is freaking the fuck out, and I'm checking my pharmacy reference site to figure out exactly how much Ativan I can safely take.

I found a (Jilli-font) spider egg sac on a pair of jeans in my closet when I was maybe 20 or 21 and I am STILL TRAUMATIZED by that memory. You take that Ativan.

Honestly, a mouse or a chupacabra or a wolverine (or Wolverine) wouldn't freak me out as much as bugs. They're small and sneaky and crawly.
