Hi fellow Hiveians,

Today I wanted to bitch about the annoying ass pests when I'm trying to work!

Feed Off Me

I love to do certain things.. but there are a lot of times when I'm told it's NOT the best idea!

I've been really enjoying working outside on the deck the last few months. Getting some sunshine directly on my skin, unfiltered by the various things that we are putting in place to block it like windows, glasses etc. is really a wonderful thing. Like anything though.. there is give and take!

The take for me is in the form of sacrificing my body in order to do it. What do I mean by that, you say?! Fucking MOSQUITOES! Those little pieces of shit have been absolutely obliterating my body the past 3 times I've been out there working, and it pisses me off LOL.

I try to work out there with just shorts on, so that I can expose my skin to the most sunlight possible. This works really well when the sun is out and shining but when it hides behind the other side of the place, and I get into the shadow, that's when those little fucking sonsa-bitches come out and really take me to the cleaners.

I didn't even really realize what was going on, because I didn't feel it at first. I finished my work day, cleaned the place up and went inside. I finished the afternoon and evening, put my son to bed and took a shower as I normally do. When I got into the shower, under the nice hot water though.. that's when I realized that I've been fucked up! The ITCH on my damn back was insane! The hot water feels awesome on the bites, but holy shit I didn't realize just how many of those fuckers I actually got lol.

I had my son count for me.. I got 35 bites on my back LMAO. I was a fucking piece of cattle to those little assholes. It's funny though, when I think about mosquitoes I always think of my great-uncle who died a while ago, he would always call them mo-skwee-doughs. He had a bunch of funny mannerisms but since we went fishing a lot, especially in the warmer weather, he would always complain about those little assholes.

I of course need to figure out how to get the sunlight that I need while also keeping those pieces of shit away. Thinking about it over the last day or two, I might try and stick one of the fans that we've got in the house out there with me and turn it on low to blow the wind at me. Hopefully that will keep them from being able to fly close to me and land.

The weird thing about it too though is that it's hard to see the little fuckers. I don't know what species this is, but it's not the big ones that you can see really easily. It must be some tiny little shit that's hard to see, kind of like the ones you see when you're walking or hiking and you see them in front of your face, but people around you can't really see them besides you just swinging at the air. I remember hearing a funny name about them but I can't remember it off hand.

One thing is for sure though.. I want to get a bug zapper and put it out there with me! Hopefully those little shits will be attracted to that and get killed instead of feeding off me like a piece of meat.

What about you, do you have a mosquito problem when you're trying to do things? Let me know in the comments!
