The Bad Room

Happy New Year everyone!!! I hope joyous celebrations were had and snacks and beverages were consumed by all. Christmas was lovely, I ate too much, just as I planned. New Year's was fun, I ate too much, just as planned.

I am now living in my new place. Everything is a mess and I'm as happy as can be. I'm so glad to be out of the Palace. The move was on Saturday but I began transporting boxes on the first of the year. There were a few injuries on move-in day but nothing requiring serious medical attention. I went back to the Palace on Sunday to vacuum and do some minor tidying up. I opened the door to the bad room took some pictures and exited as quickly as possible. I did not want to contaminate my new vacuum by cleaning up that horrid room.

The arrows indicate the location of a bug--mostly roaches and spiders. I have labeled the scorpion at the bottom of the picture. The orange circle at the top right of the picture indicates where the window did not close. My dad "sealed" the opening with newspaper when I moved to the house in July. The bug man then doused the paper with bug spray and drenched the room from top to bottom. You can see the good it did. This was going to be my office but I high-tailed it outta there after a week.

These are the remains of the scorpion in that room. It got separated during the move a little. I think my help stepped on him a couple times.

This is where my computer desk was. You'll notice the cluster of bugs in this particular area. Oh, and the spiders came in from the opening in the ceiling from the ceiling fan as well. Gross.

I also decided to take a picture of part of the master bathroom. This is the bidet. Above the bidet is a large nut. I was informed this was called a butt nut and was only found in a very small part of India. I want to check the validity of this statement but I'm worried about what may pop up during a Google search. An image search is out of the question.

I will post more about my unpacking progress. Cable and Internet were set up today so things just keep getting better. Now, I have not had any bills yet, obviously, so I may be singing a different tune in a few weeks.

I finished Northern Exposure. Like most shows, they did not seem to know how to end the series and I was hugely disappointed. However, I still want to see Alaska so no harm done.
