How did we get here?

Did I just waste four hours of my time?

Not me talking to myself by past 12am this morning to sleep on time so that I would be able to wake up at least my 5am to start my day with my prayers first and then probably continue with other activities of the day in other to enhance my productivity at least for today as a serious human being and here I am on my blog by past 4am to rant on what a terrible night I have had.

All through yesterday, I can’t even seem to pinpoint what I did with my time aside sleeping and trying to eat , yeah trying to eat cos it was more of a Herculean task even making up my mind on what to eat. It’s that time of the month.

Well am going to write a different story on all the shenanigans that comes with that cos that’s not what am here to do. This is a different rant. Because I wanted to do so much yesterday but couldn’t, hence I advised my sweet self to sleep for tonight and awake tomorrow in other to be more productive after a good night rest but these tiny little blood sucking creatures had other plans.

It started first with the struggle on how to sleep. Whether on the rug or on the floor. Well, a little back story. I am not in my house. It’s Easter and I live alone away from family but why should I be lonely when I have family around.

I decided to ring up my cousin and his beautiful wife and tell them am coming over for Easter break. Of course I am always welcomed into their beautiful open arms but just that this time around it was a bit of suddenly. Yea, that’s how I roll. I can just call them anytime and they don’t mind.

These are newly weds who live in a two bedroom flat. The stay in the master bedroom while the other room is free and there’s no bed inside. The last two times I visited, they had to give me a duvet to spread on the floor and sleep in and I don’t mind. I knew all about this arrangement before going there so it’s not a big deal.

This time around the duvet is at the laundry house cos they weren’t expecting me. But that’s not an issue. I saw a Persia rug he just bought and used it to sleep on the floor but yesterday, the heat was so much that I didn’t even use the rug. I slept on bare floor and covered myself with a wrapper and am cool.

I’ve seen worst things in life and that’s not even an issue. My challenge here is my relationship with these nasty blood sucking little creatures called mosquitoes. Uuuuhhhhhh. I hate, hate, hate mosquitoes. I don’t stay with them in the same room.

Am flabbergasted because I have fleeted this room twice in three nights. I fleeted the day before and just when I thought I was ok, I didn’t know I was in for a terrible night of mosquito vigil. Me that was planning to sleep for four hours and then start my day.

I can’t remember closing my eyes and drifting off in peace. My body has been itching at different angles. Maybe if I am among those type of people who sleep and not feel a single mosquito bite then I won’t be ranting.

Some of my friends don’t know that they have been bitten by a mosquito unless they see the bites on their body but mine is a different story. I itch badly and the places would swell up. The only thing I remember this night is that I have been having random types of itching at different part of my body.

I covered myself with a wrapper but that’s only a joke cos they were bitting me through it as usual. I wake up and flash my light and see them resting the cold tiles. I kill them and close my eyes to sleep and wake up with more itchiness and bites.

I flashed the light again and there they are. So I have been killing mosquitoes for the last four hours and am wondering where did they come from? I visit this house often and this place doesn’t have issues with mosquitoes. This is the worst I’ve seen in a long while. I’ve killed close to ten of them.

I can’t sleep. I have turned to a mosquito vigilante woman. What in the name of violation of human right is this? How did we even get here? Even as am writing this, they are just flying up and down.

The way I am going to use fleet to spray this house by day break ehh, this mosquitoes will know that they have touched the tail of a lioness. What effrontery? What audacity? Imagine the chutzpah? The temerity. I don’t blame them, they will hear from me. Keeping me awake an entire night is the height of it. This is totally unacceptable.
