My situation is improving!! Haven't been to sleep yet but put several donation boxes together. My brave friend offered to take boxed items to Goodwill tomorrow! I don't have any mosquito netting to offer her when she arrives....I'll try to keep her outside. (Just kidding)

Best of all, I emailed my brother, said how sorry I am, I've worked as hard as I can, but was honest that I need exterminator...plus I told him about the damaged skirting (that management really should fix). Afraid for his response. But he emailed back,
"Bugs Bunny is the only good bugs I know..." Lol. He seems to have taken it very well!
He has treated me very nice, lately. He has yelled at me so forcefully, in the past, that I 'got sick.' Didn't expect that. (He later apologized.)

He also owns the house, so it all feels quite scary to me. He could say it's all too much trouble, snap his fingers, and make me move. I feel so insecure. Anywayyyyy, he doesn't seem too bothered by everything. I try not to give him worries- my sil just passed away last Thanksgiving. He has enough stress.

All seems to be improving...just a few more nights of sleeping in my recliner and I hope a reputable exterminator will take care of the problem so I can get some rest.
