I kept my windows shut last night, but little did I know the jerk mosquito was laying in wait. I got at least nine bites last night and this morning - possibly ten, since I think I got a bite almost on top of an old bite. The worst part is I have four bites under my right eye now (2 from yesterday, 2 from today), which makes it all swollen. I have three bites on the left side of my face, and one above my left eye. I tried hunting a mosquito down this morning, but after almost catching it, it disappeared again. Then I got bitten at least twice more. I took a benadryl last night and zyrtec this morning, which will hopefully slow down these reactions a little bit. I also put ice on the bites under my eye, which significantly reduced the swelling.
But I'm sort of at a loss here. I don't have air conditioning (you don't really need it here), but it is sort of nice to open the windows at night. But I can't continue this whole being eaten alive business. I also don't have any bug spray (and honestly would rather not have to coat my face in bug spray anyhow. I'm thinking about trying to get some sort of netting to put over the open window/door thing (this will be clearer once I can post pictures of my apartment), but other than that, I'm sort of at a loss for what to do.
I have to go grocery shopping today (with my new cart! Yay!) but it's supposed to be quite rainy, so I'm trying to time it so I won't be walking in the rain!
