Suzy said she wanted pictures, so here you go! It's my upper back after 3 days of treatment with anti-inflamatory medication. Actually, today (day 4 of medication) my back looks better. Today another pest control specialist came to look at our situation. He agreed with me right away that we have mites. They are tiny spiders about the size of the dot of this "i". They bite people and crawl all over the place. These critters probably came in along with the birds that were nesting in a vent before we moved in. I didn't think about it until I started getting bit. At any rate, now we know for sure what the problem is. Our property manager seems willing and ready to help. The owner is obligated to pay for the treatment and related expenses and hasn't given us any grief over it. Tomorrow another company is coming to size up the situation and make recommendations. They can possibly start treatment on Wednesday. I will probably go stay with sister Penny for a few days until the fogger or whatever they use settles. I'll be glad when the situation is resolved. It's become the major thing in my life right now and there are so many other fun things I could be thinking about, such as cleaning out our self-storage unit or sewing a new outfit for Larry's Special Invention Award Banquet in Sept. In spite of the infestation, I still like our townhouse and love the neighborhood. I woke up early this morning and went for a brisk walk to the vegan doughnut store. What a way to start the day!
