So, we start a month or so ago...the cat got sick, some kind of infection, and the vet thought she also had a reaction of some kind to the flea stuff used on her at the time (just a few days before my dad found her beside the house unable to walk). So now she's better, but no flea stuff, and they are getting everywhere.
I couldn't sleep tonight, and now after a few hours finally took a shower and changed the sheets, hopefully this will do something.
Nuisance is due for a vet visit (and then the house would get bug-bombed after some good flea stuff would be gotten), but neither myself nor my mom can take her, due to other animals (mainly: dogs will screw us both all the hell up), my dad just hurt his back, and everything at work went FUBAR, so no time.
AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Just had to vent. Now to give in to my falling eyelids.
Some days I wish I could move out...no, wait, that's most days.
This is one of the days I wondered if I could manage it.

I had a flea infestation problem too. Cat usually sleeps in my room under the bed or sometimes on my bed. She would drop hundreds of eggs all over the place and they finally hatched. I would walk around and bunch of fleas would start biting my feet and legs. I picked them off one at a time but there were too many. I finally bought a couple of cans of Raid Flea & egg spray and i took out all my bedroom furniture vaccumed the floor over and over then sprayed the carpet till it was drenched waited a couple of hours for it to dry and vaccumed again and sprayed once more and vaccumed once more. Though I had won the war but I was wrong they came back (I kept the cat out of the room) the eggs deep in the carpet must have hatched. So again I sprayed and vaccumed got the cat some frontline flea medicine. I put the cat in the room and let her pick up all the adult fleas. Finally I won the war. I have found little to no fleas in the last month.

Yeah...once she's not getting them they'll go away, I'm just kinda pissed right now :)
