Wow. Cheap bastard covers it well, methinks. I've lived in lots of rented places but I can honestly say I've always had a bed (if it's supposed to be furnished, that is). I wonder why he doesn't bother to provide a proper bed? That is strange. Did you think it odd when you came to view the place? Did he make any reference to it? Like, 'Here is the bed. Yes, I know, it's just a mattress. I am a cheap bastard. Take it or leave it.'i am a rather sanguine bunny, aint i?! the thing about spiders is that the more you are exposed to them the less horrifying they become. i used to have total arachnophobia, refusing to drive my car home from the store once because a little white spider crawled into the drivers side window, and making my grandma pick it up for me (boy was she mad). i still hate them but they no long produce the same feeling of horror in me-- that job now belongs to centipedes.
thats a good idea though, slathering myself in peppermint oil. ill have to remember that.
yes, the mattress is on the floor. it's not a futon, it's a proper bed mattress and box spring, it just doesnt have a frame, i guess cause the landlord is a cheap bastard or something.
Your grandma sounds like quite a woman
