Hell week

[Andee]

I have two HUGE orders this week. One I have owed for a while but weather has been a pain. But I had a grain mite outbreak in my super bin, culled them. All 500+. Need to adjust airflow.

Lost a halloween male hisser randomly, watching the colony carefully. Not sure why it has happened.

And last but certainly not least, I dropped the dubia bin with my right arm (my bad arm for those of you who don't know), which has been weakened from weekly PT being forced upon me by my doc before they will address it any other way. It's gotten bad, my right arm is my dominant and the last week or two I have been dropping things left and right, even just plastic cups. They refuse to reevaluate until a month has passed, I swear to god if they make it worse I am suing.

I once again feel like I can't catch up. Like I am digging a hole deeper and deeper and can't crawl out for the life of me. I know once I have my orders filled I will stop taking them until the PT is over. But omg I haven't felt this much pain in my right arm in a while. And I am just so so frustrated. I am still collecting the last hundred... maybe 200 that are spread through out my bedroom. Thankfully my roaches are pretty tame and it's easy to encourage them out into the center of the room every now and then. Now I have to go rest my arm again. Typing this hurt...

Prayers headed your way. Hope things calm down for you soon.

I hope things improve for you really soon, sending you good vibes from the Netherlands.
We have the-best vibes here, really they are great!

Get well soon Andee. PT is a pain but have faith... I was a pro wrestler for 16 years and went through a lot of PT (back, neck shoulder and rotator cuff). Some therapists are better than others. Where I go, there are two that outshine the rest by far. I was even the practice patient for my regular therapist who was learning "dry needling" which is similar to acupuncture. Worked well for me but every ones different.

When I had my green banana roaches chew their way out of the Styrofoam cup they came in... I was able to collect many of them by putting a heating pad down, with a small piece of wood under it, with some food under it. Don't know if the heating pad helped but.it didn't hurt.

Thanks guys I just get so down on myself when this happens. My roaches are being lured out with egg crates offering a similar structure to hide in, oranges covered in honey which is one of their favorite snacks and I collect mostly at night cause it's darkest then. I have round up close to 100 last night. I think there are still a few more.

It can just be so frustrating when I have everything collected for the most part and I feeling good and then all of a sudden bam.

Thankfully it wasn't the Surinams or Halloween hissers. Those guys would be much harder to collect.

If my roaches got loose my wife would kill me Hope you get them all and feel better!

I'd have to move out if they all got out!

Don't get down on yourself, you have so much going on ATM, but will be in better shape soon with all the work you're doing, hope you've found all the escapees by now!!
