Day 18

Once again the day started off with some news about a bug incident during the night. This time nobody was bitten, instead it was spotted and killed before it had the chance to. Sometime last night Jemail was going to bed and accidentley dropped his blue tooth headset on the floor. When he went to pick it up he saw something crawling on the ground. He killed it with his shoe, but didn't obliterate it. He scraped it into a cup and showed it to the night supervisor. Jemail thought it was a tick, but the supervisor recognized it as a bed bug. So after all of the hassle we went through on day 13 they failed to fix the problem. They told us that they are going to put new mattresses in our room, which they really should have done from the beginning. An inspector came by in the afternoon and he said, "its not that bad." Although it seems like any amount of bed bugs is bad. I have some free time so I am writing this at about 4:30pm, so hopefully this doesn't change their decision about the new mattresses and I'll have a new one by the time I post this.

Besides that today was really cool because Alex came by to visit. It was really good to see someone and talk to someone who is normal compared to the people in here. I have almost nothing in common with the people in here which makes it hard to talk to them, so I can't stress enough how good it was to talk to someone I know face to face.

I forgot to mention that they increased the dose yesterday, but I feel the same and seems everything is fine. Although, as predicted my sitting heart rate rose from last time and is now averaging at above a hundred.

The word on the mattress situation is that we are not getting new ones and they are going to treat the room again, but they are not going to clean all of our clothes. This seems completely pointless but hey its almost over and I haven't been bit yet so whatever.
