Today marks the beginning of week four with bedbugs. I think I am just going to let them eat me. I am covered with bites from my ankles to my neck, and I have a single bite on each ear. I was scratching the other day and as soon as I was satisfied with one area, another would begin to itch, and I spent a good five minutes doing that before I just stopped caring. This sucks. But tonight the other elders and I are going to go throw my mattress into the Salt River and burn it, which sounds impossible, but it's not because there's no river in the Salt River. It's bone dry. It shows up blue on maps and stuff, but there's not actually water there. Back in the day I guess there were some prisoners in the federal prison up north of Tempe and they broke out. Their plan was to get to the river, where they would steal a boat and escape to Mexico. Not the worst plan, but when they got to the river and realized 1.) there were no boats because 2.) there's no water, they just gave up and walked all the way back to the prison and turned themselves in. It was also June, so they probably would have died outside. Makes me wonder how all the homeless people survive the summers. It's been about 115 every day and even at the coolest part of the night it's still 95 degrees. This is insane.

But yeah,
