Sigh... Round Two

Today, I was doing my laundry, and it was time to wash the bedsheets. To my dismay, I discovered that there were BED BUGS! Now, I'm lucky * knock on wood * that there was only one skin, and something that looked like it was a bug. I vacuumed the mattress everywhere, with a hose attachment. I chucked the bag.

I'm hoping that this is the end of the problem. I was keeping constant watch to look for new bites, new blood spots on bed sheets, and at first, there were things that I thought were such signs, but then they stopped. So I thought, oh, OK, it's just my imagination. Now, I'll keep watch again. I will probably wash my bedsheets, pillowcase next time I do laundry, in two weeks. Then, I will look again, to see the situation.

I may also ask around to see if I have friends that have a steam cleaner. I may run that over my mattress.
