Bitch, bitch, moan, moan

I forget, every season, that the real reason why I stay inside all summer long isn't because it's hot out, though that's miserable enough. It isn't because there's pollen out there; there are drugs for that. It's because of the evil, horrid, little vampires that are e v e r y w h e r e. And it isn't even that they leave huge itchy welts. No. It's because they make me sick. Literally.

Not with West Nile, EEE or any of the other skeeter-spread scary diseases out there, but just general bad-allergy-reaction sick. So, today I am going around doing everything that needs to be done with a cramping stomach, stuffy, achy head, weak lungs and general malaise.

Bah.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for Babe. *sigh* At least next year he'll be there for three days. And next year is only a few months away.

On the plus side, we have three months of not having to wake up early. That's somewhat of a mixed blessing in the summer, given that the mornings are the best time of day, but it's something.

How utterly miserable for you. *hugs*

I'm about to go and research methods for keeping the little bastards out of the house that aren't potentially dangerous for #2.

*hugs back* Thanks.

I do have, or did have before I forgot it at the party on Sunday, two kinds of bug repellents. The familiar poisonous deet thing, and then a lemon/eucalyptus thing that smelled strongly, but wasn't deadly like the deet.

Screens are the best defense for the home, however. Unfortunately.

I hate mosquitos. They are nasty, and I am apparently tasty to them too.

Mosquitos are evil little buggers and should be eradicated from the face of the planet. I don't care if that would cause a massive chain reaction leading to an ecological disaster of Biblical proportions. I. Want. Them. Gone!

*deep breath* I hate them too.
