mosquito

while i was in maine last month i got so many mosquito bites that i came home having to take benadryl twice a day and i think being sensitized like that is why i am feeling this season like, well, bad.

i haven't historically been dangerously and violently allergic to honeysuckle

this evening i am so swollen from mosquito bites that i am mostly one red hot welt. my eyes are puffy, and my throat itches.

whining.

i am whining now.

bright side: benadryl along with the rest of my meds will knock me out and i will sleep like the dead.

sweet.
