flea infestation, bff had to cancel her plans to visit next week, marc's (pretty much brand new) wedding ring busted
a cursed bird.
oh noooo
amyorama.
but we bought a dirt devil, so. at least there's that. hopefully that'll make vacuuming forever a little easier.
amyorama.
just a lotta stuff happening at once. nothing disastrous or unhandleable, but jesus. i just wanna sit down.

if you have carpet you might try getting and sprinkling some diatomaceous earth around, it helps when we had a flea infestation (on top of regular baths for the cat that had it the worse and flea medicine)
amyorama.
we just got some today, actually! so we're gonna try it out. here's hoping!
amyorama.
Toupée's hairless, at least, so they're easier to find on him and idk if they're laying/living on his hair patches very successfully, but we've been dunking him.
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
good, it works so well for killing pests
amyorama.
good, yes. I'm happy to give it a whirl!
merciful death
oh jeez good luck, this is a lot!
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
i hope it helps you guys out, flea infestations are such a pain

Ooooooof I'm sorry...
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
it took us a while to get it under control because we also had a dog bringing them in for a while
amyorama.
most of the house isn't carpeted, so we're just trying to narrow down where they're hiding. it's mostly a futon in the sunroom and probably our bedroom carpet, but we're trying to hit all of the furniture, bedding, etc.
amyorama.
we've just been obsessively cleaning for days and it's hard to tell whether we're making a real dent or not. but we'll keep trying!
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
there was also a spray we used to help, we sprayed it on the furniture, let me see if i can find it
amyorama.
we've got this mint/clove stuff, vet's choice (I think), so hopefully that's also helping.
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
yeah we used that
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
we had the for cats, we never got the stuff that says its for furniture
amyorama.
I think it's just inevitably going to be a process that takes time, so it still feels like we're not progressing yet, haha. I gotta temper my expectations and try to chill.
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
yeah it took a few months to finally kill them all off
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
the only reason we managed is because we dont have a dog anymore
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
i think it took six months of keeping up with flea meds on the cats + spraying the yard and house every so often
amyorama.
yeah. we got em because we brought in some strays for a couple of days in order to get them into an adoption program. hopefully Toupée makes it a little harder for them to perpetuate.
amyorama.
good to keep a realistic timeline in line, though.
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
yeah
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
we had two cats pass in that time (as well as the dog) so that...helped some
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
the other three cats didnt get fleas nearly as bad
amyorama.
thanks for the recs/advice. we just gotta keep vacuuming and scrubbing the boy down.
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
yeah basically all you can do until theres no more fleas
amyorama.
he's so pissy about it, but oh well. that's what he gets for making very rude friends.
amyorama.
godspeed to us.
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
lol
amyorama.
Rebecca was able to re-organize and is apparently coming up after all, and I'm going to send the ring in for assessment (and hopefully repairs).
amyorama.
now i'mma go eat a roast beef and cheddar and then do some rp or something.
𝓟𝓢𝓛☕📔𝓟𝓻𝓲𝓷𝓬𝓮𝓼𝓼
Sounds like a plan! I'm around if you need fluffy proposal stuff!
amyorama.
Yee. UuU I'mma try to catch up on all my shit. I've been poor with it lately.
