One day last week, out of nowhere, under the blue sky, this mosquito very quietly launched a sneak-a-bite attack on my right shoulder and upper arm area. I feel my blood being sucked out of me only half the time when the bloodsucking is in progress, and this mosquito knew how to insert her proboscis without arousing any other sensation in me. I realized I got bitten, not once, but THREE times, only after the mosquito departed, obviously about to burst from the feast. I was, and still am very furious about this incident and still nursing – read scratching until I bleed – the bite wounds. Only yesterday evening, I had the opportunity to get my revenge by squashing a pair of them mating and spraying two more with my trusty lemon scented Clorox cleaner.
I have a bad feeling about this mosquito season. I’ve been already bitten half as many times as I was the last season, and the full-fledged mosquito season is not even here yet. The score is pathetic. During the last season’s battle with mosquitoes, when mosquitoes’ score was about 4, my score probably was at about 500 or so. I’m more than a little worried that this year’s battle will not be as one-sided as the last two years. I need a new strategy… Anyone? Anyone?

Don’t go outside?
Mosquitos suck, literally. I haven’t seen very many yet. But there was a gnat in my house last night. I was on my computer writing fan fic and the stupid thing had the nerve to land on my arm. I swatted it but it flew away just in time. Now there’s a fly in my house, maybe it ate the gnat.
Haha. I came here to post that mosquitoes suck, but EOI beat me to it. I have bites on my legs and arms, and they are driving me insane. Talk about discomfort!
I need to move to drier place… Montana?
Ew, I think they have mosquitoes too. I think everywhere has mosquitoes.
I don’t think that the mosquitoes are getting worse… I think that YOO are slacking off!
Yeah, I’m getting too old for bloody battles on muggy days.
Why? Do the muggy days affect your joints or something?
