There was a bed bug scare earlier this week. Apparently bed bugs are extremely rampant in Ohio, and so the district handed out permethrin to everyone to spray for bed bugs. We were doing some service work in one apartment where we were a bit concerned. Sure enough, she had bed bugs, and we had to help her make her bed. As soon as we got back to our apartment, we stripped down and threw our clothes straight into the dryer! Sis. K took the permethrin and sprayed our entire apartment! She just soaked it down. It smells EXACTLY like the stuff that our pest control at home sprays in our house in Phoenix, so I didn't think anything of it. A couple days later, on Sunday, we were talking to the elders from Centerville, apparently you are supposed to dilute it in water, so we might get permethrin poisoning!!! :(
Sis. K gets bitten by soooooo many different bugs all the time, I think I've only gotten bitten by one mosquito the entire time I've been here!
On another note - someone was handing out iris bulbs at church and I grabbed a whole bag of them because our apartment looks like a desolate barren desert from outside, it reminds me too much of home, so I thought planting some plants would be nice. I had to haul around a whole jungle on Sunday and Sis. K made fun of me so much! She said the landlady might not let us plant stuff, so I said then I'll just tear them out of the ground, then . . . So, I'm planting random stuff at our apartment this week!
Two pet peeves - NO ONE can say my last name. Hmph. The other is that whenever anyone asks where I'm from and they say 'oh where in Phoenix?' or 'What part?" it's sooooo annoying to have to explain that Phoenix really is it's own city. So, I'm going to just start making up random names and just claim they are places in Phoenix. So I need some good desert names to tell people, such as Sunville, Firebird, Prickley Pear, AZ lololololo 'Cuz no one seems to understand that there is a part of Arizona that is actually called just plain Phoenix.
