Well, we didn't get any picnic tables built, but I think everything else is done. Since I'm here and relatively unbusy, I may get to help build them later this week. Man, I am tired for as little actual work as I did.
Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
show jumping?Wow. That's a lot of jumping. What surprised me, they didn't require a lot of running. It was all about vertical and not momentum. Not sure what the strip tease was all about.
I have a tiny whine. I didn't notice what bit me when I stepped outside for a few minutes, but whatever it was was way higher on the itching and swelling scale than a mosquito.
I'll just be sitting here scratching.
Benadryl cream - really - will help. I get mosquito bites a lot and it really helps. I carry a tube with me and a woman in my office had her legs covered with bites (walking in the swampy part of the dog park, she thinks) and it helped her.
And, if you are calculatedly reckless with the pharms like Tep and I, you can also take oral Benedryl.
Ugh, itchy bites are the worst. I got two bad ones this summer that both scarred.

Benadryl is practically not a drug! It's like a vitamin!
[NOT REALLY. I just sort of maybe a lot treat it pretty cavalierly. IT IS A DRUG. DO NOT TREAT IT LIKE A VITAMIN. ITS FEELINGS WILL BE HURT.]
Benadryl is practically not a drug!
Precisely.
I knocked back an additional Benadryl on top of what I usually take in a day and the swelling is going down.
Without benadryl and ibuprofen, I'd be a whimpering, sneezing lump.
My grandmother had one thing right: put iodine on bug bites. Disinfects, stop the itch, keeps from forming a scar.
Weekend!
Definitely no energy for synagogue tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
I stopped at the health food store on my way home, but I got there 20 minutes after it closed. The people were still there, though, and the owner told me that if I knew what I wanted, I could come in and buy it. I had two things I knew I needed to buy, and I'd planned on browsing and getting some other stuff, but I just went in and got the two things, and thanked her for letting me come in after it was closed.
