1) last night and the night before there has been 1 bed bug! I'm so relieved! Ray is going to treat today with left-overs he got from a pest control tech, put on the encasements and we are back to our own bed for the first time in over a month. TONIGHT!
If there are any signs, we will call buddy who will do it under the table for us. PRAISE THE LORD!

2) so ready for surgery! I start optifast on Monday, have all my medical "stuff" (scripts, OTC, etc) bought, reservations all made, time off work and raring to go!

3) decaf coffee is NO BIG DEAL! I changed on Monday and honestly it doesn't bother me at all. Here I thought it was going to be a big thing!

4) we were having a party here Sep 20 but Ray decided to postpone it 'til October. We just have so much going on with bedbugs, Dad, a concert to go to, surgery prep. And it was a combined birthday party -- Ray deserves HIS OWN so we'll do it in early October.

5) my car wouldn't start yesterday but Ray figured it out. There was a loose / corroding wire on the starter. He cleaned it up and it's turned on without issue now 10+ times. My gosh, I am lucky to have a handyman/ mechanic / bed bug killer / chef like Ray!
