UGH!

Huge icky misquitto bite of DOOM just woke me up. I was apparently scratching it in my sleep and it ballooned into horrific size. I used to get allergic reactions to misquitto bites a lot, but seemed to be over it in recent years. Until tonight. Trying desperately not to touch it, already put on stuff that supposedly will make it not itch (hah!), and now I have no clue how I am going to get back to sleep. SUCKS SO MUCH! Grrrrr. Luckily my kitties are more than willing to keep me company in my time of strife as long as they get lots of pets. I got it at fighter practice, but I must have just been too exhausted last night to be bothered by it. Obviously the bug spray needs to make it to fighter practice with me. Luckily I found a nice natural lemon-eucaliptis spray that seems to do the trick. It looks like this might be a bad bug bite summer for me and I want to avoid some of the tragic reactions I've had in the past including things like getting bit near am eye and having it basically swollen closed. That has happened to me twice and was both painful and embaresingly ugly. I still have ugly memories of a childhood vacation to crater lake where I ended up covered in more than fifty huge bites and basically writhed around in agony all night every night for a week or so. Ugh indeed. At least it could be worse, and my one-handed typing is distracting me from itchy doom. Perhaps I need a drink... yes, I definitely need a drink.
