What do you do when your shingles are not on your roof?

Last week I started to get some strange looking splotches on my forehead and scalp. A case of creeping crud?  Kris Berg's Martian Death Flu?

I have always had very clear skin so I had no idea where this was coming from. I asked one of my Realtor buddies to take a look and she thought they looked like bug bites. Hmmmm. Interesting. Being the internet dependent do-it-yourself Gen Xer that I am I used Google images to diagnose my splotches. Clearly they were bed bug bites. Looked just like them.

So, we loaded up every piece of bedding and laundry in the house on Saturday evening and took our daughter for her first trip ever to a laundromat. Exciting times for a 3 year old. Quarters to be put in slots, buttons to push, carts to crash around and new people to entertain. She loved it. Somehow the laundromat seems to have frayed my new sheets but that is another issue. I sent Dmitry out for some Benadryl ointment and tablets, because that is what I learned I was supposed to do on Wikipedia.
