Just checking.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, phew. You made me paranoid for a minute there. Anyway, I sleep with my feet uncovered, but the rest of me under the covers, so that would explain that.
I love how I totally derail Natter with my random issues all the time.

Jesse, I find that bug bites soemtimes don't rise on me until 24 hours after I'm bitten.

You still might want to take a close look at your cat.

With mosquitos, the bits raise up right away, but these were the dreaded greenhead flies on Saturday, and they were all over our feet all day, so. Who knows?
Eh. Have taken drugs, am going to bed.

Also, fleas can jump multiple building stories, or so I've been told. you don't need an outdoor animal for it to get fleas, at least if you have open windows.
I read a bunch of stuff on Nannygate, and the wife is an ass. The nanny wasn't bright, but the wife is one hell of an ass.
Why is the wife an ass? Also, I had to concentrate on which Nanny story. Did Sienna Whozzit already marry Jude Law?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
It was pretty much a lot of "I freaked reading about my nanny's life because it made me worry that I might pause to think about my own life choices and that scares me. Also I'm maybe not as cool as her." I mean, there were a few things that weren't on that level, but really I think that was the heart of the problem.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sienna's still engaged only.
The wife is all "Oh my god! My nanny has a life! My nanny has opinions of me! My nanny is talking about me all the time on the web!"
To which I'd reply "Calm down. Yes. Yes. No, not really." What was there for her to be bothered by other than one citation that the nanny was having a bad workweek? Where the hell did the rest of the drama come from? The wife's head, as far as I can tell.

That is horrifying. I need to go buy duct tape to seal every opening.

Antihistamine and an cool Aveeno bath--or footbath in your case
If you don't have Aveeno around, Jesse, a baking soda and water footbath can help itching.
