The Good and the Bad

[janedavitt]

First the good: Happy Birthday nakedwesley! You are, as I know, incredibly sweet :;stares lovingly at Giles on my fridge:: and I hope today brings you nothing but good things ::much love::


Sadly, it's also the day that Tim Henman got knocked out of Wimbledon in the second round ::weeps::

He kept raising my hopes that he could pull it off and win in the fifth set, but, no. ::weeps some more::

I'd forgotten that he was playing actually, as I was all fired up and out there weeding. I'd done an hour, and cleared possibly three foot of the border when my lower back/bottom suddenly began to itch like mad. I raced inside, yanked down my shorts, and yep, three huge bites already starting to swell up.

DIE MOSQUITOES, DIEDIEDIE!!!

I was covered in the strongest, DEET-laden bug spray out there, dammit. It's just not fair.

I've smeared gel, sprayed Bactine, and swallowed an anti-histamine, and the insane itching has died down, but I still know that they're there.

And what prompted the t-i-c f_w makeover? Heheheh. All that pink...
