You are so prolific that it's kind of comforting to know that you can be distracted and uninspired like us mere mortals! Lol. You definitely deserve a break now and then. I hope the infestation is eradicated soon and I will look forward to a post on what politicians and bed bugs have in common, or something equally as brilliant, soon. Much love.

You've been on fire for a long run, so it's natural that you would be burned out. Every fireworks show eventually runs out of fireworks. Every cycle in life has a fallow/replenishing part. You're overdue for a rest!

I got rid of bedbugs with surprising ease and nontoxicity last summer. That was because I caught the infestation early, so they weren't in everything I owned. I called a green service that used a liquid nitrogen fogger and then followed up about 10 days later with steam heat (bedbugs cannot tolerate extremes of temperature, and the heat kills any remaining eggs). Not a bite since June 2. We also have a great business here called "Bed Bug Laundry" that will wash all your suspect clothes, heat treat your books and other non-washables, and hold your hand through the whole process. But then, that's New York City.
