The Bugs Love Me And My Bug Spray!

Bug spray
Bug spray

We’re still in early June, and I’ve already been eaten alive by bugs.

This past weekend I had to do some yard work.

I wore long pants tucked into socks.

With boots.

And long sleeves.

And a hat and a bandana and gloves.

And I used a toxic amount of bug spray.

I still got bitten.

Seriously?

Why do bugs like me so much?

I certainly don’t like them.

Can’t they sense my hostility and my unwelcoming nature?

If a toxic amount of bug spray isn’t enough, how much do I need to be using?

Which is worse – too many bug bites or too much bug spray?

Either way I’m doomed.

It’s going to be a very long and very itchy summer.

Yay Team – A Trophy Would Be Amazing!

Yay Team

Yay team

Yay Team!

Yay team!

I’ve got matching bug bites in the exact same place on each foot.

Also on each thigh.

And also on each wrist.

Which leads me to the only logical conclusion.

The mosquitoes have formed a synchronized biting team.

I imagine the bugs in their glittery swim caps.

And the coaches yelling with their over-the-top, Friday-Night-Lights mania.

“All right Pests, on THREE! Jump, twirl, and BITE!”

And Team Pest does it on three because that’s what champions do.

I hope we win the playoffs.

I’ll still itch.

But a trophy might make it all worth it.

Yay team.

Mosquitoes Love Me!

Mosquitoes

Stupid Mosquitoes!

I did some yard work.

I remembered the sunscreen.

But I forgot the bug spray.

If my life’s ambition had been to nourish and provide for the entire population of mosquitoes in North Texas, I would be content right now.

However, that has never been my life’s ambition.

Not even close.

Instead of being satisfied, I am itchy.

And scratchy.

And covered in sticky green aloe vera gel.

I’m horrified to realize that I most certainly have contributed to the health and wellbeing of the burgeoning summer bug population.

Stupid mosquitoes.
