     Today was a depressing day.  Last night I was just crying at all the idea of what all has to be done still, my beta fish, Rick Grimes, died on Saturday and last night, Sunshine, my female cockatiel died.  It was all just too much.  So I stayed in bed for the morning, doing nothing much.  Watching The Profit on Hulu.  He seems to have a lot of business answers, thought he might make me feel better.  I eventually got up and fed everybody and got some yogurt and a cola, and went back to bed.  We had a blizzard warning yesterday and it was snowing and blowing like the dickens outside.  All the schools were closed except hubby's, so he went in and dropped Frank off at work since the buses were all delayed and he couldn't get into work.
     That left me home with the animals.  I did some of the massive amounts of laundry we have to do.  I folded and bagged all the sheet sets, a set of sheets for Frank and two sets for us.  That actually makes 3 sets of sheets for hubby and me, counting the new set of sheets on our bed.  I need to pull out the rest of the sheets in the bottom of the linen closet and see if I can find Frank one more set of sheets, so he will have one to use while he washes the other.  Every day.  If we are going to fight this bedbug infestation, this will be key.  I also found out they get in the outlets and you have to take the covers off and vacuum inside.  And take off the registers and vacuum in there too.  Hubby says we can get rid of them with a lot of hard work over the next year.  I cried and said I thought you can only get rid of them for sure if you get a professional in to do the heat treatment three times in a 6 week period.  But the first hing to do is get all the stuff out of the house and put in the garage for a year.
     So even though we had snow up the wahzoo today, tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 50s.  That means I'm going to go out in the garage, open the door and start getting rid of a lot of stuff to make room for all the stuff in the house.  I need to take the house down to bare bones, take out all the stuff on the shelves and all the books.  Don't think we have room for all the book cases in the garage but need to pack up everything in the house and get it out.  Going to be making lots of piles for the trash man!  And putting up some stuff to sell.
     So I'm taking my anxiety meds twice to three times a day now.  I'm frazzled and overwhelmed.  I itch all the time and feel like bugs are crawling in my hair.  I know it's all in my mind, but not really.
