ooh yea. Lovely. I realised my wardrobe was infested with tiny little bugs (millions of them) on sunday/monday? Anyway, the cause of this is the unused lavender heat pack stored at the very top left cupboard of my wardrobe, which had these annoying small tiny brown bugs growing out of it (apparently so, since mum's the one who found the cause and got rid of it - i didn't witness it). ANDDDD, ive spent most of my morning cleaning out the wardrobe. I vacummed most of the bugs (i hope) earlier in the week (tuesday i think?) but am left with all my clothes to move out today. Sort of fortunately, the right column of the wardrobe was not infested, so i got my stuff out of there on tuesday. Of the 3 columns, the left was the worst, since the bug infested heat pack lived at the top of it and the bugs thought it made perfect sense to climb through my wardrobe below which contains all my clothes-on-hangers, including huge furry winter coats and other dry-clean/handwash type dresses etc. Which means the job is not as easy as dumping all into the washing machine (which would just ruin them all).
Progress:
I've cleared the entire left section of the wall-lining wardrobe, and hung them out in the sun on the great Australian Invention left behind by the previous owner of this house (i think its an australian invention, tell me if im wrong...). and the other woolies/casual tees i hung them out on the clothes rack. Then I got out my summer shorts from the middle column of the wardrobe and got my salon professional hair dryer out onto the veranda and gave them the 'heat treatment' in the hopes of killing/blowing away the tiny bugs. (They're so small and brown they're camouflaged in darker-coloured clothes, and for ALL clothes I can't possibly see myself going through ALL and looking through ALL pockets, zippers, nooks and crannies to spot and eliminate the PESTS.) [At this point, all potential employee-seekers turn me down since I've proven my innate inability to perform meticulous tasks such that which I have just mentioned. Earth says hello.] Back on topic: I also blowdried the rack of woolies and misc i hung out on the rack.
Then I went back into my room to seek out the next pile of clothes to attack. I (obviously) got lazy and flipped through my summer tops, and after not spotting any formidable bugs and the clothes passing the "face test" (being able to sink my face into the clothes, therefore speaking to the world that there are no bugs (or im just blind to them), and proving that those clothes are wearable.)
and now Im sitting at the dining table typing away because Im TOO LAZY (there, i said it) to get on with the rest of my clothes. And I have to vacuum the house today too. Apparently that's my job - to vacuum every week, do laundry and other sorts of things.
I shall go. might update with a hilariously pathetic picture of half my clothes on the 'great Australian Invention'.
