OOOH Boy

So I got really bitten up.  By something.

Really really hoping it was a flea, because flea bites and bed bug bites apparently look pretty similar in pattern and look?

I remember this happening before and I freaked out about maybe bed bugs so I vacuumed my mattress looking for any and washed everything.

This time?  I freaked out again, of course, but forgot to vacuum my mattress and flipped it instead.... as I washed all my bedding.  Sigh.

So flea bites are a better thing than bed bug bites and I hope whatever bit me wasn't in my house anyway (I was at Jason's a couple of days ago and we were outside for a while and then inside so..... hoping it was something there rather than something at my place?!)

Wherever it happened and whatever did it they itch like eff you see kay.  I've always had terribly itchy reactions to bites, and when I was a kid my Mom said I was "allergic" to flea bites (not sure how you know that) and so bites for me are a pretty awful thing.

The bites got really bad on Saturday and so I took some Benadryl (as well as the topical hydrocortisone) but holy cow did that ever make me like slow... not... smart.

Like I don't think I got sleepy, but I sure wasn't all there.  For example, I put my laundry in as soon as "laundry hours" started and I always set an alarm for when to go back down to put it in the dryer and when I went back down to switch it into the dryer there was someone already with their laundry in the washers, UGH!  And then it took me a minute to realize that, well, it was me.  Sigh.

Then my neighbour walked by and I wanted to ask her opinion so I said, hey, do you know bug... bed... do you know about.... bug.... do you .... hold on.  DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BUG BITES?

Sigh.  Like really really slow in the brain.

So Saturday was pretty damn itchy and miserable with added antihistamines on top of it.

I know I said this last time, there's probably even a post about it, but if I have bed bugs in my place I think I'll die (emotionally.)
