The Fight

 The bug bite medicine made me woozy. Told doc they always give me Prednisone. She did not want to do that. Never had side effects. The prescription she gave me ~ would feel like an earthquake ~ hold on to sink when brushing teeth or washing face, and hands. So I did not go down to sunporch. Someone finished the puzzle I had been putting together. I got a new puzzle; took lids to my apartment, to flip pieces, pick out edges. Went to sunroom to put frame together. Could not finish it, so left it hoping, someone would finish the frame.

Next day I went down to finish it. The completed puzzle was gone. 7/8 years the system was to move the completed puzzle to the right side of table, until a new puzzle was completed. Then we would take that puzzle apart moving the new one in its place. WTF. No one has ever taken a completed puzzle off the table. I am pretty sure I know who did that; although it could have been a new person. 

Typed a sign, put in frame explaining why I was no longer doing puzzles. At least once a day someone would ask: why are you not doing puzzles. CAN YOU NOT READ THE SIGN!   Yes, I have a temper, but I did not lose it; would just reiterate what I wrote on the sign. The woman I suspect of taking the gone puzzle asked. As did her son. Neither one seemed to notice the part of someone taking the puzzle. 

I went to office to put in a work order. Can Ehrlich (pest control) do something about the bugs. Beth did not understand about the bugs, so she came to look. I showed her the dead flies at the back of table along the wall. I shower her with my magnifying glass, what they looked like sticking to the sticky paper. A few days later maintenance wiped the table clean of the dead bugs.  I went back to office, to put in a new request.

What part of calling Ehrlich to identify the bugs and treat them do then not understand? I changed the sticky paper a few times;  catching regular house flies in addition to the tiny biting flies.
