Today we had to bake our belongings in black plastic bags on the front walk. The landlady called to inquire so I told her about our bugs. She insisted they did not come from her house. It's a mystery. Our best guess is the hotel in San Antonio at which we stayed mid June. If one BB laid 5 eggs in Dan's suitcase in mid-June then they would hatch at the beginning of July after our move, and grow to maturity in three weeks. However, that does not make perfect sense because there were eggs hatching, and they must have been laid two weeks prior to that... so we had to have brought live bugs with us. It just doesn't compute. We would have seen them. ARGGGGHHHH.
I escaped for a little while to my Mom's kitchen to see what she was cooking. Chicken and peppers for a friend who just had surgery.
Dan and I hauled all my office furniture up to my office this evening. Tomorrow we will assemble it.
Landlady says her son is going to do mold remediation and tear down a wall in the house THIS week. While we are living here. While the pest control expert is spraying chemicals. I want out!
This saga is just unbelievable.

Mom, Missy had bed bugs and she knows all about it. She says they were definitely from the house! Your landlady should be paying you for this crap. Missy also says the spray doesn't work - she tried it a bunch of times. the only thing that worked was heating up the house.
Also, missy says you should get the bed cover thingys. They suffocate the bugs and prevent them from hatching in your bed.
Nobody around here has the technology to heat up the house. So we are baking all our possessions out in the sun. The three chemicals kill hatched buggers, so the exterminators are coming back in two weeks to get any hatchlings. It's the best we can do. The landlady didn't live here for about a year... so... we think we brought them in on your dad's suitcase. We are going to dissect the suitcase this afternoon outside to see....
