Whew! What a day. This morning, while Rach was getting ready for work, she saw a flea in our bed! Of course, we were terrified of an infestation because this is dirty NYC and one flea might lead to many. NOTE: This is the only flea we have seen and neither of us have bites.

However, just to be sure, I spent all day pulling out everything from under the bed and stripping and washing the sheets and vacuuming all the carpets, mattress, and bedframe. I also examined the entire room on my knees with a flashlight to make sure I didn't see anything else worrying.
Then, when I took the curtain off the window, I SAW A SMALL INSECT! Was it a bedbug!!!! Now, I'm no entomologist, but I do have google, so I spent a frantic half hour comparing the bug with pictures of bedbugs and other apartment creepy crawlies. My diagnosis was that A) it was almost certainly NOT a bedbug. (it didn't really look like a bedbug AND I didn't see any other evidence of bed bugs anywhere in the apartment) and B)it was likely some sort of grain beetle, which is common in apartments. Diary, as you can imagine, I was relieved (although I'm still worried ... I'll have to keep checking for the next few weeks).
Not this: More like this:
That still left the flea. In my cleaning, I didn't see any other fleas, so once I was finished, I Macgyvered a flea trap. We'll see what it catches, but if it works half as well as my fruit fly trap, I'll be happy.
Long story short, Diary, it seems like my worries were unfounded (fingers crossed).
Last night, instead of the delicious tour of Italy I had planned for dinner, Rach and I met friends at a place called Dinosaur BBQ. We got a family style feast and it was great, but you know what, Diary? I fu c king hate brisket! Why do I always think I'm going to like it? Also, Dino BBQ is a syracuse restaurant and the pulled pork BBQ was definitely more of a midwestern style rather than the vinegary eastern NC BBQ I prefer. All in all, I give it a 3 (out of 27).
Because its about 106 degrees outside, tonight we are going to stay in and revisit the pesto and catch up on True Blood. It's not my favorite show, but hopefully there will be some Vampur titties, am I right, Diary! And maybe some amazing merkin too if I'm lucky!

Well, that's all I have for now. Stay classy, Diary, and goodnight!
