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.

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.
