I had to vacate my apartment for several hours today because of the pest control thing. Organizing a work day around that would normally be seriously challenging, but I had the kind offer of a home-away-from-home from long time friends, the B's. It was so great to be able to go to a home where I feel supremely at ease, do a few more loads of laundry while puttering away at this and that, and enjoy the the company of their wonderful cats. I'm so thankful for their open door policy and warm welcome in absentia.
I'm also thankful that today was a gloriously sunny day. I could leave my apartment with the windows open wide all day to allow the pesticides to do their thing without having to come home to fumes and the fear of breathing air infused with chemicals. I've never been so thankful for clear skies in February.
The bug thing has been a real drag, but it has underlined for me the wonderful support I can count on from friends. Sure, I did the work of it alone, but I didn't feel entirely on my own thanks to the concerned calls and emails from friends who care.
