This morning I woke up at about 3:30 AM and my legs were really itchy. I thought it was dry skin so I tried to go back to sleep, but after a few minutes I decided to get up and go put on lotion. Well, when I did, I found four brand new bug bites that were quickly swelling. I didn't know what they were from, so I put Benadryl on them, kind of freaked out for a minute, and then decided to go look in my bed to see if there was a spider there or something.
It was dark and my roommate was sleeping in the room. I didn't want to wake her up. I threw back my covers and looked around by the light of my cell phone. Nothing. Weird. I decided to change my clothes and sleep on the couch just in case there was a spider in my clothes somewhere.
I slept well. Finally I woke up at 9:40 when I heard my roommate get up. I told her about the bug bites, and she said that she had seen an ant on her arm last night. She proceeded to get ready. I went back into my room, threw the covers off my bed to find hundreds of black ants in my sheets and blankets, on my curtains, crawling on my floor, all over my walls, on the baseboards...
Bethany (roommate) and I sprayed everything with Windex. I threw all the linens in the washing machine (which surprisingly did not kill the ants, it took drying everything to handle that!). I brought ant spray after church, and we've sprayed everything down twice now. I also wrote an unhappy note on my RA's door asking for help.
So how was your morning?!
:)
much more to write about later.
