not urgent, but important ....
there are bugs in the sitting room ...
on my departure day, Maggie witnessed "water bug" on table beside H.'s chair ... water bug is a euphemism for you-know-what.
this, after several days of me thinking H.'s concern about "under the chair" and "bugs biting at ankles" were all a crock ...
Scenario One: H. does see bugs when sitting in her chair, these sightings alarm her, she is unable to explain coherently so resorts to "look under my chair" ..."for what? we ask" ..." just look" is all she can respond ... we must take care to keep that room clean so bugs are not there to crawl over H.
Scenario Two: the bug sighting by Maggie is entirely coincidental to "look under my chair" and "bugs at my ankles" requests ...
I am going with Scenario One, myself.
follow-up thoughts: rug needs to be replaced, it's pretty funky with all the stains ... the number of books in that room could be reduced ... they provide food/hiding for bugs.

I agree about the rug. I almost took it up the last time I was there. Would it be safer all around without one? It certainly would be easier to keep clean.
I'm hoping there are no bugs around, but if you think about it, it's where she eats all of her meals and I doubt that any vacuuming is done in, around or under the chair.
Maybe we could ask Jackie to make sure that she moves the chair and vacuums and actually vacuums the chair itself?
But I know something else too: I have never seen a house so empty of bugs. There aren't even any spiders anywhere or cobwebbs or dust bunnies or anything. I would be thoroughly surprised if there was an infestation of any kind....
