Bed Bugs

They're back after 50 years.

Gabby made me watch some Dateline report on how bed bugs are making a comeback and the people that are bringing them back are foreign travelers from Europe and the Middle East. They had pictures of people who stayed in hotel rooms that had bites all over their legs. They even showed how to find them, what they look like, how they follow blood vessels and bite you in a straight line, etc.. GROSS.

Now Gabby is saying that the next time she goes to a hotel, she's going to remove the headboard and check behind it, check all the sheets, and the seams of the mattresses, look for fecal matter on the walls and blood spots, etc.. I told her that I think that's a little excessive, but she doesn't care. She said she'd do i, and I believe her. I don't know how her boyfriend can put up with her. When I'm on vacation, I like to relax, not be an investigator for Channel 13- I Team Investigation.

Yesterday at burgers, Gabby had her free lunch. She had a crabcake and french fries. She said it was ok. I asked her if she ever got excited by food, and she said that she really didn't. I don't know what that's like. I heart food. The point of this paragraph is to state that she's more excited about bed bugs in the hotel room or the man in the city that's stealing people's cars when they warm them up in the morning, than a good crabcake lunch. She's a strange bird.
