Today's News

[la_samtyr]

I had planned to write but instead I did some yard work yesterday. Unfortunately, the lady who came to help came over at the hottest part of the day (about 5pm), and then *stayed* for about 3 hrs, until 8:30. *sigh* I wish she hadn't come over because I got way too hot, despite being in the shade and the the mosquitoes just nommed me to bits. I have huge patches of bites all over -- for real, I am so not kidding about this. The spray I used just did not work well, so I will have to try something else. Which I *hate*, because I am so damned hyper-sensitive to things. Worst of all, the furkids want to comfort me by *licking* me, especially after I have put itch-stop stuff on. They always look so hurt when I push them away, but damn. :/

So my writing plans did not happen, and I will have to try again tonight.

There was a short t-storm last night too. Luckily I got the windows on the Blazer rolled up before that happened though.

Today I have stayed inside.

I like this stuff made by Badger Balm

And I'm a bug magnet!

You poor dear! I know what it's like being a bug magnet (but especially one for mosquitoes.) Thanks for the link. I've never heard of that before and I'm willing to try anything.

Poor dear. You sound miserable. Try a cool bath with an oatmeal bath like "aveno". I may have spelled the product wrong. but a long while back I had a total body rash due to wearing a set of PJs without washing them first. there was some type of chemical on them I was alergic to. It went away quickly, but while it lasted it was just horrible. The bath really helped.

I'll try that. I hate itching like this. :(

I was going to do my garden today - but, happily, it rained!!!

I wish we could have a thunderstorm.

I'd be glad to share a few of our thunderstorms with you! Except that ours tend to "breed" tornado weather as well, and those aren't much fun. :/
