Dear reader, I am on vacation. I am in the country, being hosted by my sister and brother-in-law, who are actually the best. I’ve been calling this getaway a writing retreat, and I have been trying to work, but who am I kidding: As you read this I am either floating in the pool or napping in a lounge chair by the pool. This experience would be even more ideal if it weren’t for insects. A little while ago a cricket gently landed on my wrist, and I shrieked like someone had come at me with a staple gun. Bugs are really into me. They keep wanting to fly at my face or buzz directly into my ears, the tiny jerks. Something bit me on my shoulder a couple of days ago, and I’m still not over it. It really hurt!
I started noticing the empty coffee cup situation a few years ago and it is mind boggling to me that they can't put some water in it. And if an actor can't ACT like there's piping hot liquid inside then why are they getting paid! Good luck with all the Lyme disease.
Actually the deer would just crash stupidly around the house, breaking the china and knocking over the furniture. Then they would give you Lyme via a tick infestation and leave.
I’ve said to my husband before, in total seriousness, that it feels like the outdoors are trying to kill me. Flying bugs, poisonous plants, ridiculously hot temps (we live in the South). I’m too delicate for the country!

Type O blood type is the most attractive to mosquitos....so, if you are type O, sorry!
Have a great time and I am sure no one will do anything bad to you....
